STC3485E
General Description
3.3V-Powered, ±
15kV ESD-Protected,
and Slew-Rate-Limited True RS-485 Transceivers
The STC3485E is +15 KV ESD protected, slew-rate limited, ultra lower differential line transceivers which provide full RS485 compat-
ibility while operating from single 3.3V supply. Each part contains one driver and one receiver, which is designed for data transmission
with extended common mode range (-7V to 12V). The STC3485E features slew-rate limited driver that minimizes EMI and reduces
reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission at data rate up to 500kbps.
All devices feature enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to
±
15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge and ±
15kV using the Human Body Model.
Drivers are short-circuit current limited and are protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that
places the driver outputs into a high-impedance state. The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that guarantees a logic-high output if
both inputs are open, shorted or idle.
Both parts have power up/down glitch free driver outputs permit live insertion or removal of transceiver from/to data bus. The
CMOS design offers significant power savings without sacrificing ruggedness against overload or ESD damage. Typical quiescent
current is only 500 µ while operating and 1 µ in shutdown.

The STC3485E are fully specified over the commercial an extended industrial temperature range and are available in 8-pin and DIP
packages.

Note 3:
The transceivers are put into shutdown by bringing /RE high and DE low. If the inputs are in this state for less than 80ns, the
parts are guaranteed not to enter shutdown. If the inputs are in this state for at least 300ns, the parts are guaranteed to have entered
shutdown. See Low-Power Shutdown Mode section.

FUNCTION
Receiver Output. If A > B by -50mV, RO will be high; if A < B by 200mV, RO will be low.
Receiver Output Enable. RO is enabled when RE is low; RO is high impedance when RE is high. If RE
is high and DE is low, the device will enter a low-power shutdown mode.
Driver Output Enable. The driver outputs are enabled by bringing DE high. They are high impedance
when DE is low. If /RE is high and DE is low, the device will enter a low-power shutdown mode. If the
driver outputs are enabled, the parts function as line drivers. While they are high impedance, they
function as line receivers if /RE is low.
Driver Input. A low on DI forces output B high and output A low. Similarly, a high on DI forces output
B low and output A high.
