General Description
The MAX3460–MAX3464 are high-speed differential
bus transceivers for RS-485 and RS-422 communica-
tions. They are designed to meet TIA/EIA-422-B,
TIA/EIA-485-A, V.11, and X.27 standards. The trans-
ceiver complies with the Profibus specification provid-
ing +2.1V output level with a 54 load, 20Mbps data
rate, and output skew less than 2ns. Each part contains
one three-state differential line driver and one differen-
tial input line receiver. The devices operate from a +5V
supply and feature true fail-safe circuitry, which guaran-
tees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver
inputs are open or shorted. This enables all receiver
outputs on a terminated bus to output logic highs when
all transmitters are disabled.
All devices feature a 1/4 standard unit load receiver
input impedance that allows 128 transceivers on the
bus. Driver and receiver propagation delays are guar-
anteed under 20ns for multidrop, clock distribution
applications. Drivers are short-circuit current limited
and are protected against excessive power dissipation
by thermal shutdown circuitry. The driver and receiver
feature active-high and active-low enables, respective-
ly, that can be connected together externally to serve
as a direction control.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
