CIRCUIT FUNCTION AND BENEFITS
The circuits shown in Figure 1 demonstrate proven and tested
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliant solutions for
three protection levels for popular RS-485 communication ports
using the ADM3485E transceiver. Each solution was tested and
characterized to ensure that the dynamic interaction between
the transceiver and the protection circuit components functions
correctly together to protect against the electrostatic discharge
(ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and surge immunity
specified in IEC 61000-4-2, IEC 61000-4-4, and IEC 61000-4-5,
respectively. The circuits offer proven protection for RS-485
interfaces using the ADM3485E to the ESD, EFT, and surge
levels often encountered in harsh environments.

Circuits from the Lab™ circuits from Analog Devices have been designed and built by Analog Devices
engineers. Standard engineering practices have been employed in the design and construction of
each circuit, and their function and performance have been tested and verified in a lab environment at
room temperature. However, you are solely responsible for testing the circuit and determining its
suitability and applicability for your use and application. Accordingly, in no event shall Analog Devices
be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages due to any cause
whatsoever connected to the use of any Circuits from the Lab circuits. (Continued on last page)
