These GPDs increase the common-mode voltage on the bus and can cause data errors or
device damage, if not properly dealt with. RS485-compliant transceivers tolerate GPDs of up to
7V. Higher GPDs however require special transceivers with a higher input voltage range, or
galvanically isolated transceivers.
Some engineers use ground wires between bus nodes in order to tie the transceiver grounds
to a defined voltage potential. This method can have dangerous outcomes as it shortens
multiple ground potential differences together causing prohibitively large ground currents that
literally burn ground wires.
On the basis of a single point-to-point interface, this article shows that differential transceivers
are designed to operate without ground wires.
The differential driver has a H-bridge output stage that drives current from terminal A to
terminal B and vice versa, depending on the logic states at data input, D (Figure 2).

H-bridge output stage
Because the line voltages, VA and VB, switch between two positive potentials, the driver can be
modeled as a signal source with a common-mode output offset, VOS, and a superimposed
differential voltage of VOD/2 (Figure 3).
Figure 3
The differential receivers input stage consists of a resistor network that attenuates large input
signals and biases the comparator inputs with respect to receiver ground (Figure 4). By
referencing the inputs to receiver ground, the receiver can build the voltage difference
between VA and VB without a ground connection between driver and receiver ground.

Differential receiver input stage
Voltage divider action between the input resistors (Rin) and the bias resistors (Rb) attenuates
the input signal (common-mode and differential voltage components likewise) by a factor of
ten. This prevents the comparator inputs from saturation (Figure 5).
Figure 5
Voltage divider action between the bias resistors biases the comparator inputs with VCC/2
potential, thus enabling the receiver to work from a single-supply voltage.

Re: XFMR coupled manchester data over 485
actually I use Manchester coding for getting hihg data rates across long
cable runs. typically the higher cable capacitance cause increased
loading and ISI (inter-symbol interference) can close eyes quickly. Using 100% 0%
a clock and XOR-ing it with data gives you manchester encoded data. on
the receive side you either need to use a clock recovery circuit (typically
with 6 to 8 times higher frequency) for decoding, or you simply use a
second differential link for getting the clock to the receiver.
With a small RS422 IC, such as a dual driver and dual receiver IC, one
can accomplish this task quite easily. On the receiver side you simply
use another XOR to decode the encoded data with the received clock to
get to the original data. - Thomas

Re: XFMR coupled manchester data over 485
1) sorry for my delayed response. I'm currently travelling through Asia. 2)
I do not have an application note for transformer isolation with
Manchester encoding. 3) transformer isolation is usually appllied on the 50% 50%

Re: XFMR coupled manchester data over 485
The real issue without the Manchester/Transformer arrangement is the
DC ballance issue where a long string on 1's or 0's causes a shift in the
voltage level on the reciever inputs when long wires with resistance are 50% 50%
used -- this can cause data to be interpreted as the wrong value or level
when no transformer / manchester code is used.

I'm just curious about that. Would you please comment a little bit about
it, specially about the need for the XFMR?

Good Post!
@Thomas, thanks for the post, it covers several key aspects about
RS485 and mentions several core concepts when interconnecting data
networks with this type of interface.

The only part I miss here is the inputs protection, which is imperative to
be addressed by the designer.
