Detailed Description
The MAX13181E–MAX13184E high-speed transceivers
for RS-485 communication contain one driver and one
receiver. These devices feature 1/8 unit-load input
impedance that allows up to 256 receivers on the bus.
All devices feature integrated pullup/pulldown resistors
on the DE, RE, and H/F inputs to reduce external com-
ponents. The MAX13182E/MAX13184E feature a low-
current shutdown mode for power-sensitive applications.
The MAX13181E/MAX13182E feature reduced slew-rate
drivers to minimize EMI and reflections that are caused
by improperly terminated cables. The slew-rate limited
MAX13181E/MAX13182E allow error-free transmission
up to 250Kbps. The MAX13183E/MAX13184E feature
full-speed drivers allowing data rate of up to 16Mbps.
The MAX13182E/MAX13184E are configured for full-
duplex operation. The MAX13181E/MAX13183E feature
selectable half- or full-duplex operation by driving H/F
input high or low, respectively. All devices operate from
a single +5.0V supply.
±15kV ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures
are incorporated on all pins to protect against electro-
static discharges encountered during handling and
assembly. The driver outputs of the MAX13181E–
MAX13184E family have extra protection against static
electricity. Maxim’s engineers have developed state-of-
the-art structures to protect these driver outputs against
ESD of ±15kV with V
CC
= 5V, and regardless of the
logic state of DE and DI.
The ESD-protected pins are tested with reference to the
ground pin in a powered-down condition. They are test-
ed to ±15kV using the Human Body Model, ±12kV using
the IEC 61000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge Model, and to
±6kV using the IEC 61000-4-2 Contact Discharge Model.
ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.

test setup, test methodology, and test results.

Human Body Model
Figure 7a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 7b
shows the current waveform it generates when discharged
into a low impedance. This model consists of a 100pF
capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest, which is
then discharged into the test device through a 1.5kΩ resistor.
Machine Model
The IEC 61000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment. However, it does
not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The
MAX13485E/MAX13486E help equipment designs to
meet IEC 61000-4-2, without the need for additional
ESD protection components.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 61000-4-2 is higher peak
current in IEC 61000-4-2 because series resistance is
lower in the IEC 61000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD with-
stand voltage measured to IEC 61000-4-2 is generally
lower than that measured using the Human Body
Model. Figure 7c shows the IEC 61000-4-2 model, and
Figure 7d shows the current waveform for the IEC
61000-4-2 ESD Contact Discharge test.
Applications Information
256 Transceiver on the Bus
The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is 12kΩ
(one-unit load), and the standard driver can drive up to 32
unit loads. The MAX13181E–MAX13184E family trans-
ceivers have a 1/8-unit load receiver input impedance
(96kΩ), allowing up to 256 transceivers to be connected
in parallel on one communication line. Any combination of
these devices and/or other RS-485 transceivers with a
total of 32 unit loads or less can be connected to the line.
Reduced EMI and Reflections
The MAX13181E/MAX13182E are slew-rate limited, min-
imizing EMI and reducing reflections caused by improp-
erly terminated cables. This slew-rate limited feature
allows error-free data transmission up to 250kbps.
MAX13181E/MAX13183E Low-Power
Shutdown Mode
The MAX13181E/MAX13183E feature low power shut-
down mode. Low-power shutdown mode is initiated by
bringing RE high and DE low. In shutdown, the devices
typically draw only 2.5µA (typ) of supply current. RE
and DE can be driven simultaneously. If RE is high and
