Description
No.
1
RO Receiver Output: When RE (Receiver Enable) is LOW, the receiver is enabled (ON), if DO/RI ≥ DO
(Note 1)/RI (Note 1) by 200 mV, RO will be HIGH. If DO/RI ≤ DO (Note 1)/RI (Note 1) by 200 mV,
RO will be LOW. Additionally RO will be HIGH for OPEN (Non-terminated) Inputs.
2
RE Receiver Output Enable: When RE (Note 1) is LOW the receiver output is enabled. When RE (Note
(Note 1) 1) is HIGH, the receiver output is in TRI-STATE (OFF). When RE (Note 1) is HIGH and DE is LOW,
the device will enter a low-current sleep mode after 600 ns.
3
DE Driver Output Enable: When DE is HIGH, the driver outputs are enabled. When DE is LOW, the
driver outputs are in TRI-STATE (OFF). When RE (Note 1) is HIGH and DE is LOW, the device will
enter a low-current sleep mode after 600 ns.
4
DI
Driver Input: When DE (Driver Enable) is HIGH, the driver is enabled, if DI is LOW, then DO/RI will
be LOW and DO (Note 1)/RI (Note 1) will be HIGH. If DI is HIGH, then DO/RI is HIGH and DO (Note
1)/RI (Note 1) is LOW.

V_CC Positive Power Supply Connection: Recommended operating range for V_CC is +4.75V to +5.25V.
Unit Load
A unit load for an RS-485 receiver is defined by the input
current versus the input voltage curve. The gray shaded
region is the defined operating range from −7V to +12V. The
top border extending from −3V at 0 mA to +12V at +1 mA is
defined as one unit load. Likewise, the bottom border ex-
tending from +5V at 0 mA to −7V at −0.8 mA is also defined
as one unit load (see Figure 15 ). An RS-485 driver is
capable of driving up to 32 unit loads. This allows up to 32
nodes on a single bus. Although sufficient for many applica-
tions, it is sometimes desirable to have even more nodes.
The DS481 has ¹â„2 unit load and will allow up to 64 nodes
guaranteed over temperature.
For a ¹â„2 UL device the top and bottom borders shown in
Figure 15 are scaled. Both 0 mA reference points at +5V and
−3V stay the same. The other reference points are +12V at
+0.5 mA for the top border and −7V at −0.4 mA for the
bottom border (see Figure 15 ). Again, both 0 mA reference
points at +5V and −3V stay the same. The other reference
points are +12V at +0.25 mA for the top border and −7V at
−0.2 mA for the bottom border (see Figure 15 ).
