SP1486E is a half duplex differential line transceiver suitable for high speed bidirectional communication on multipoint bus transmission lines. Each device contains one differential driver and one differential receiver. Devices comply with TIA/EIA-485 and TIA/EIA-422 standards and also meet the higher drive and tighter skew requirements of PROFIBUS applications. Lead-free and RoHS compli- ant packages are available for all models.
PROFIBUS is in wide use in industrial control and automation applications and the SP486E is ruggedized for use in harsh operating conditions. Receivers are specially designed to fail-safe to a logic high output state if the inputs are left un-driven or shorted. All RS485 bus-pins are protected against severe ESD events up to ±15kV (Air-Gap and Human Body Model) and up to ±8kV Contact Discharge (IEC 1000-4-2). Drivers are protected from excess current flow caused by bus contention or output short-circuits by both an internal current limit and a thermal-overload shutdown. Devices are rated for Industrial (-40 to +85oC) operating temperature. Receivers have exceptionally high input impedance, which places only 1/8th the standard load on a shared bus. Up to 256 transceivers may coexist while preserving full signal margin.
All devices operate from a single 5.0 V power supply and draw negligible quiescent power. Both driver and receiver can be enabled and disabled independently and the device enters a low power shutdown mode if both driver and receiver are disabled. The bus-pin outputs of disabled modules are in high impedance state. The high impedance driver output is maintained over the entire common-mode volt- age range from -7 to +12V.

07/17/2023 | In 2023, MaxLinear will be converting all shipping labels for the parts noted from an EXAR format to MaxLinear’s label. During this transition customers may receive either label. This change affects only shipping and packing labels. This change will not affect the part number, part marking, manufacturing process or manufacturing sites. Only work in progress material will be converted. Existing inventory from MaxLinear’s warehouse, channel sales, distributor, and such, will not be converted. Hence, customers may experience receiving mixed shipments with both Exar and MaxLinear labels for some period until existing inventory of old labels is eventually cleared out. Situation is product to product with no predictable way to determine when all old labels will be exhausted. No change to product form, fit, function and reliability. ADDENDUM A: Fixed MBB label logo for DX204001 to MaxLinear logo. ADDENDUM B: Replaced ‘All other affected products outer box label’ with clearer pictures. Corrected Date Issued (from original PCN) issue date +90 days to August 30, 2023. | PCN & PDN Download |

For RS-232 it is 50 feet (15 meters), or the cable length equal to a capacitance of 2500 pF, at a maximum transmission rate of 19.2kbps. When we reduce the baud rate, it allows for longer cable length. For Example:
Baud Rate (bps) | Maximum RS-232 Cable Length (ft) |
19200 | 50 |
9600 | 500 |
4800 | 1000 |
2400 | 3000 |
Fail Safe is an attempt to keep the output of the RS-485 receiver to a known state. Transceivers may have standard fail safe or advanced / enhanced receiver fail safe features. Standard fail safe supports open inputs while enhanced fail safe transceivers such as the SP339 and XR34350 support open input, shorted input and undriven terminated lines without external biasing. See Application Note ANI-22 for more detail.
