GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM3483/ADM3485/ADM3488/ADM3490/ADM3491 are
low power, differential line transceivers designed to operate using a
single 3.3 V power supply. Low power consumption, coupled with a
shutdown mode, makes the ADM3483/ADM3485/ADM3488/
ADM3490/ADM3491 ideal for power-sensitive applications.
The ADM3488/ADM3490/ADM3491 feature full-duplex com-
munication, while the ADM3483/ADM3485 are designed for
half-duplex communication.
The ADM3483/ADM3488 feature slew rate limited drivers that
minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly ter-
minated cables, allowing error-free data transmission at data rates
up to 250 kbps.
The ADM3485/ADM3490/ADM3491 transmit at up to 10 Mbps.
The receiver input impedance is 12 kΩ, allowing up to 32 trans-
ceivers to be connected on the bus. A thermal shutdown circuit
prevents excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or
by output shorting. If a significant temperature increase is detected

in the internal driver circuitry during fault conditions, then the
thermal shutdown circuit forces the driver output into a high
impedance state. If the inputs are unconnected (floating), the
receiver contains a fail-safe feature that results in a logic high
output state. The parts are fully specified over the commercial
and industrial temperature ranges. The ADM3483/ADM3485/
ADM3488/ADM3490 are available in 8-lead SOIC_N; the
ADM3491 is available in a 14-lead SOIC_N.
