RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers with Preemphasis
for High-Speed, Long-Distance Communication
________________General Description
The MAX3291/MAX3292 high-speed RS-485/RS-422
transceivers feature driver preemphasis circuitry, which
extends the distance and increases the data rate of reli-
able communication by reducing intersymbol interfer-
ence (ISI) caused by long cables. The MAX3291 is
programmable for data rates of 5Mbps to 10Mbps,
while the MAX3292 is programmable for data rates up
to 10Mbps by using a single external resistor.
The MAX3291/MAX3292 are full-duplex devices that
operate from a single +5V supply and offer a low-cur-
rent shutdown mode that reduces supply current to
100nA. They feature driver output short-circuit current
limiting and a fail-safe receiver input that guarantees a
logic-high output if the input is open circuit. A 1/4-unit-
load receiver input impedance allows up to 128 trans-
ceivers on the bus.
