Product details
Overview
DS3695AM from Texas Instruments is a high-speed multipoint RS485/RS422 transceiver designed for industrial bus communication, featuring 15 ns typical driver propagation delay, −7V to +12V bus common-mode range, and single +5V supply operation. It supports up to 32 unit loads on the bus and includes thermal shutdown protection with high-impedance driver outputs over the full common-mode range.
For engineers reviewing the DS3695AM datasheet, DS3695AM pinout, DS3695AM application, or DS3695AM equivalent, key selection criteria include differential driver output voltage (5 V unloaded), receiver hysteresis (70 mV typical), TRI-STATE control timing (tPLZ/tPHZ ≤16 ns), bus fault tolerance, and compatibility with extended-temperature variants like DS3695T.
Technical Context
The DS3695AM implements a true differential RS485/RS422 transceiver architecture with separate driver and receiver sections, both fully compliant with EIA RS485 and RS422 standards. Its driver delivers 5 V differential output voltage under no load and maintains ≥1.5 V into 27 Ω (RS485), while the receiver features ±0.2 V input threshold with 70 mV hysteresis and 12 kΩ input resistance.
TRI-STATE control is implemented via independent DE (driver enable) and RE (receiver enable) inputs, allowing bidirectional half-duplex operation. Driver outputs remain high-impedance across the full −7V to +12V common-mode range, and thermal shutdown forces driver outputs into high-Z state - reported externally only on DS3696 (not DS3695AM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Differential Driver Output Voltage (unloaded) | 5 V - Ensures robust signal swing for noise margin in long-cable RS485 networks |
| Driver Propagation Delay | 15 ns (typ) - Enables >20 Mbps data rates at short distances with tight timing budgets |
| Bus Common-Mode Range | −7 V to +12 V - Supports ±7 V ground potential difference between nodes without communication failure |
| Receiver Input Hysteresis | 70 mV (typ) - Rejects noise-induced false transitions on noisy industrial buses |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - Matches standard 5 V logic rails with ±5% tolerance for stable operation |
| Unit Load Count | ≤1 - Combined driver/receiver impedance <1 RS485 unit load, enabling 32-node bus capacity |
| Thermal Shutdown | Yes - Internal circuit disables driver outputs during overtemperature, preventing latch-up or damage |
| TRI-STATE Enable Range | Full −7 V to +12 V common mode - Maintains driver high-Z even during bus fault conditions |
Pinout & Package
DS3695AM is housed in an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), package drawing P (R-PDIP-T8), with through-hole mounting and RoHS-compliant CU SN lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 5 (B / DO) | Inverting Driver Output / Bus B | Differential negative bus line output; complementary to pin 4 |
| 6 (RI) | Non-Inverting Receiver Input | Receives differential bus voltage (A–B); referenced to internal threshold |
| 7 (RE) | Receiver Enable | Active-low control: enables receiver when low; disables to high-Z when high |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive Supply | +5 V DC power input; decoupling capacitor required per datasheet layout guidelines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RS485 transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN65HVD12DR | Lower ICC (1.1 mA vs 42 mA), integrated slew-rate limiting, no thermal shutdown reporting pin | Better suited for low-power, noise-sensitive applications; lacks DS3695AM's high-speed propagation performance | Select SN65HVD12DR for battery-powered or EMC-critical designs where speed <10 Mbps suffices |
| MAX3082ESA+ | Higher ESD rating (±15 kV HBM), 5 V supply only, no thermal shutdown circuit | Superior transient immunity in unshielded installations; lacks DS3695AM's bus fault recovery behavior | Choose MAX3082ESA+ for harsh electrostatic environments where thermal fault reporting is non-critical |
Compared with SN65HVD12DR and MAX3082ESA+, DS3695AM offers superior speed (15 ns vs ≥30 ns propagation), guaranteed thermal shutdown response, and proven reliability in legacy industrial systems - making it optimal for high-throughput, fault-resilient RS485 links requiring deterministic bus recovery.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the DS3695AM?
The DS3695AM supports data rates exceeding 20 Mbps under ideal conditions (short trace lengths, controlled impedance, low capacitance). Its 15 ns typical driver propagation delay and 6–10 ns differential transition times enable high-speed operation, though actual achievable rate depends on cable length, termination, and noise environment. For 1200 m cable runs, reliable operation is specified up to 100 kbps per RS485 standard.
Does the DS3695AM include thermal shutdown protection?
Yes, the DS3695AM includes internal thermal shutdown protection that forces driver outputs into high-impedance state when junction temperature exceeds safe limits. Unlike DS3696, DS3695AM does not provide an external TS (thermal shutdown) status pin - the protection operates autonomously without user intervention or monitoring capability.
What is the bus common-mode voltage range specification for the DS3695AM?
The DS3695AM supports a bus common-mode voltage range of −7 V to +12 V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables. This allows the device to operate reliably despite up to 7 V ground potential difference between interconnected nodes - a critical requirement in distributed industrial systems with multiple power domains.
Can the DS3695AM be used in place of the DS3695N or DS3695TN?
DS3695AM is a variant within the same functional family as DS3695N and DS3695TN. All share identical pinout, electrical specifications, and logic behavior. The "AM" suffix denotes a specific assembly/test flow and packaging configuration - not a functional deviation. It is a direct replacement for DS3695N in commercial-temperature applications and functionally compatible with DS3695TN where extended temperature range is not required.
How does the DS3695AM handle bus faults such as short circuits or overvoltage?
The DS3695AM responds to bus faults via two mechanisms: first, its driver short-circuit output current is limited to ±250 mA, preventing destructive current flow; second, sustained overtemperature caused by fault conditions triggers thermal shutdown, forcing driver outputs into high-impedance state. Receiver inputs tolerate −10 V to +15 V, and the device remains high-Z with power off - protecting upstream logic during bus faults.
