THEORY OF OPERATION
DIFFERENTIAL DATA TRANSMISSION
Differential data transmission is used to reliably transmit data at high rates over long distances and through noisy environments. Differential transmission nullifies the effects of ground shifts and noise signals that appear as common-mode voltages on the line. The two main standards approved by the EIA specify the electrical characteristics of transceivers used in differential data transmission: ?
RS-422 standard specifies data rates up to 10 MBaud andline lengths up to 4000 ft. A single driver can drive atransmission line with up to 10 receivers.
RS-485 standard was defined to cater to true multipointcommunications. This standard meets or exceeds all therequirements of RS-422, but also allows multiple driversand receivers to be connected to a single bus. An extendedcommon-mode range of ?7 V to +12 V is defined.
ADM3491-1
As with any transmission line, it is important that reflections be minimized. This can be achieved by terminating the extreme ends of the line using resistors equal to the characteristic impedance of the line. Stub lengths of the main line should also be kept as short as possible. A properly terminated transmission line appears purely resistive to the driver.
RECEIVER OPEN-CIRCUIT FAIL-SAFE FEATURE
The receiver input includes a fail-safe feature that guarantees a logic high on the receiver when the inputs are open circuit or floating.

REROVCCARBYZVCCDEDIDThe most significant differentiator of the RS-485 standard is that the drivers can be disabled, thereby allowing more than one to be connected to a single line. Only one driver should be enabled at a time, but the RS-485 standard contains additional specifications to guarantee device safety in the event of line contention.

The transmission line of choice for RS-485 communications is a
twisted pair. Twisted pair cable tends to cancel common-mode noise and also causes cancellation of the magnetic fields gener-ated by the current flowing through each wire, thereby reducing the effective inductance of the pair.
The ADM3491-1 is designed for bidirectional data communica-tions on multipoint transmission lines. A typical application showing a multipoint transmission network is illustrated in Figure 26. Only one driver can transmit at a particular time, but multiple receivers can be enabled simultaneously.
