LMS1485
5V Low Power RS-485 Differential Bus Transceiver
General Description
The LMS1485 is a low power differential bus/line transceiver
designed for high speed bidirectional data communication on
multipoint bus transmission lines. It is designed for balanced
transmission lines. It meets ANSI Standards TIA/EIA
RS422-B, TIA/EIA RS485-A and ITU recommendation and
V.11 and X.27.
The LMS1485 combines a TRI-STATE™ 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 and receiver differential inputs are internally con-
nected to form differential input/output (I/O) bus ports that
are 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 LMS1485 is build with National’s advanced BiCMOS
process and is available in a 8-Pin SOIC package. It is a
drop-in socket replacement to ADI’s ADM1485 and LTC’s
LT1485.

Typical Application
20048801
A typical multipoint application is shown in the above figure. Terminating resistors, 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 failsafe 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.
