Product details
Overview
DS3695ATM from Texas Instruments is a high-speed, single-supply (+5V) RS485/RS422 differential transceiver designed for multipoint bus transmission in industrial automation and building control systems. It features 15 ns typical driver propagation delay, −7V to +12V bus common-mode range, and thermal shutdown protection with TRI-STATE driver/receiver outputs over the full common-mode range.
For engineers reviewing the DS3695ATM datasheet, DS3695ATM pinout, DS3695ATM application, or DS3695ATM equivalent, this device supports robust noise-immune communication in electrically noisy environments, enables up to 32 nodes on a single bus, and provides fail-safe receiver hysteresis (70 mV typical) for reliable logic-level interpretation under marginal signal conditions.
Technical Context
The DS3695ATM implements a true differential driver and receiver pair with independent enable controls (DE and RE), supporting half-duplex RS485 and full-duplex RS422 modes. Its driver delivers ≥5 V differential output voltage (unloaded) and maintains >1.5 V into 27 Ω (RS485 load), while the receiver exhibits ±0.2 V differential threshold with 70 mV hysteresis and 12 kΩ input resistance.
TRI-STATE operation is guaranteed across the full −7V to +12V bus common-mode range, and thermal shutdown forces driver outputs into high-impedance state without requiring external supervision. Unlike DS3696, DS3695ATM does not include the TS (thermal shutdown status) pin - it lacks the open-collector fault-reporting output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | +4.75V to +5.25V - ensures compatibility with standard 5V logic rails and stable operation under regulated power supplies. |
| Bus Common-Mode Range | −7V to +12V - accommodates large ground potential differences between nodes in distributed industrial networks. |
| Differential Driver Propagation Delay | 15 ns (typical) - enables reliable data rates up to ~20 Mbps over short traces with tight timing margins. |
| Receiver Input Hysteresis | 70 mV (typical) - prevents chatter during slow-rising/falling or noisy differential signals near switching threshold. |
| Driver Output Short-Circuit Current | ±250 mA - provides robust fault tolerance against bus shorts without latch-up or permanent damage. |
| Receiver Input Resistance | 12 kΩ - allows up to 32 unit loads on a single RS485 bus per EIA-485 standard compliance. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | Internally triggered - automatically disables driver outputs during overtemperature events to prevent thermal runaway. |
Pinout & Package
DS3695ATM 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. The package supports commercial temperature operation (0°C to +70°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DI) | Driver Input | Accepts TTL/CMOS-level transmit data; VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max ensures clean logic transition. |
| 2 (DE) | Driver Enable | Active-high control: when high, driver outputs (DO/DO) drive bus; when low, outputs enter TRI-STATE. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Signal return for internal circuitry; must be connected to local system ground to maintain common-mode integrity. |
| 4 (RO) | Receiver Output | TTL-compatible output (VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ −400 μA, VOL ≤ 0.5 V @ 16 mA) drives downstream logic directly. |
| 5 (RI) | Receiver Inverting Input | Differential bus input terminal; paired with RI for true differential reception and noise rejection. |
| 6 (RI) | Receiver Non-Inverting Input | Differential bus input terminal; voltage difference vs. RI determines RO logic state per hysteresis threshold. |
| 7 (DO) | Driver Non-Inverting Output | Active-high bus driver output; complements DO to generate differential bus voltage swing. |
| 8 (DO) | Driver Inverting Output | Active-low bus driver output; forms differential pair with DO for EIA-485/422 compliant signaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RS485/RS422 Compliance | Fully meets EIA-485 electrical specifications including unit-load impedance, common-mode range, and driver output capability. |
| Full Common-Mode TRI-STATE | Driver and receiver outputs remain high-impedance across −7V to +12V bus voltage - essential for hot-swap and multi-drop bus arbitration. |
| Thermal Shutdown Protection | Automatic driver disable during overtemperature events prevents thermal damage and ensures system-level fault containment. |
| 70 mV Receiver Hysteresis | Guarantees clean, bounce-free output transitions even with slow or distorted differential inputs in electrically harsh environments. |
| Single +5V Supply Operation | Eliminates need for dual or split supplies - simplifies power design and reduces BOM cost in space-constrained industrial nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RS485 transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX485CPA+ | Lower driver output voltage (1.5 V min into 54 Ω), no thermal shutdown, 250 kbps max recommended data rate. | Suitable for lower-speed, cost-sensitive designs where fault protection is secondary. | Select MAX485CPA+ only if thermal shutdown and >10 Mbps timing performance are not required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the DS3695ATM?
The DS3695ATM supports reliable operation up to 20 Mbps in short-haul configurations due to its 15 ns typical driver propagation delay and 6–10 ns differential transition times. Actual achievable data rate depends on cable length, termination, and noise environment - for 1200 m runs, 115.2 kbps is recommended per EIA-485 guidelines. DS3695ATM does not specify a hard maximum rate but delivers timing performance validated for high-speed repeater and backbone node use cases.
Does the DS3695ATM include thermal shutdown reporting via a dedicated pin?
No, the DS3695ATM does not feature a TS (thermal shutdown) pin. That function is exclusive to the DS3696 variant, which provides an open-collector output with internal 10 kΩ pull-up to report thermal fault events. DS3695ATM performs thermal shutdown internally but does not signal it externally - driver outputs simply enter high-impedance state without status feedback.
Can the DS3695ATM operate with a 3.3V supply?
No, DS3695ATM is specified only for +4.75V to +5.25V operation. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), driver output levels, and internal biasing are optimized for 5V TTL/CMOS logic families. Using 3.3V violates recommended operating conditions and risks unreliable DE/DI signal recognition and reduced noise margin.
How many DS3695ATM transceivers can be connected to a single RS485 bus?
Up to 32 DS3695ATM transceivers can be connected to one RS485 bus, as each presents ≤1 unit load (12 kΩ receiver input resistance). This complies with the EIA-485 standard's 32-unit-load limit. Additional nodes require RS485 repeaters or transceivers with fractional unit-load ratings (e.g., 1/4 or 1/8 UL).
Is the DS3695ATM pin-compatible with the DS3695N or DS3695TN variants?
Yes, DS3695ATM shares identical pinout, function mapping, and PDIP-8 package (drawing P) with DS3695N and DS3695TN. The suffix "TM" denotes tape-and-reel packaging and RoHS compliance, while "N" indicates tube packaging and "TN" specifies extended temperature range (−40°C to +85°C); all three are electrically and mechanically interchangeable in PCB layout.
