multipoint bus transmission lines. It is designed for balanced
transmission lines. It meets ANSI Standards TIA/EIA
V.11 and X.27. The driver outputs and receiver inputs have
15kV ESD protection. The LMS485E combines a TRI-
鈩?/div>
differential line driver and differential input receiver,
both of which operate from a single 5.0V power supply. The
driver and receiver have an active high and active low,
respectively, that can be externally connected to function as
a direction control. The driver outputs and receiver inputs are
internally connected to form a differential input/output (I/O)
bus port that is designed to offer minimum loading to bus
whenever the driver is disabled or when V
CC
= 0V. These
ports feature wide positive and negative common mode
voltage ranges, making the device suitable for multipoint
applications in noisy environments. The LMS485E is avail-
able in 8-Pin SOIC and 8-pin DIP packages. It is a drop-in
replacement to Maxim鈥檚 MAX485E.

Typical Application
20086601
A typical multipoint application is shown in the above figure. Terminating resistor, RT are typically required but only located at the two ends of the cable.
Pull-up and pull-down resistors maybe required at the end of the bus to provide fail-safe biasing. The biasing resistors provide a bias to the cable when all
drivers are in TRI-STATE, See National Application Note, AN-847 for further information.
