The LTC®490 is a low power differential bus/line transceiver designed for multipoint data transmission standard
RS485 applications with extended common mode range
(12V to –7V). It also meets the requirements of RS422.
The CMOS design offers significant power savings over its
bipolar counterpart without sacrificing ruggedness against
overload or ESD damage.
Excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or
faults is prevented by a thermal shutdown circuit which
forces the driver outputs into a high impedance state. The
receiver has a fail safe feature which guarantees a high
output state when the inputs are left open.
Both AC and DC specifications are guaranteed from 0°C to
70°C and 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage range.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Typical Application
A typical connection of the LTC490 is shown in Figure 5.
Two twisted-pair wires connect two driver/receiver pairs
for full duplex data transmission. Note that the driver and
receiver outputs are always enabled. If the outputs must
be disabled, use the LTC491.
There are no restrictions on where the chips are connected, and it isn’t necessary to have the chips connected
at the ends of the wire. However, the wires must be
terminated only at the ends with a resistor equal to their
characteristic impedance, typically 120Ω. Because only
one driver can be connected on the bus, the cable can be
terminated only at the receiving end. The optional shields
around the twisted pair help reduce unwanted noise, and
are connected to GND at one end.
The LTC490 can also be used as a line repeater as shown
in Figure 6. If the cable length is longer than 4000 feet, the
LTC490 is inserted in the middle of the cable with the
receiver output connected back to the driver input.
through the part. The thermal shutdown circuit disables
the driver outputs when the internal temperature reaches
150°C and turns them back on when the temperature
cools to 130°C. If the outputs of two or more LTC490
drivers are shorted directly, the driver outputs can not
supply enough current to activate the thermal shutdown.
Thus, the thermal shutdown circuit will not prevent contention faults when two drivers are active on the bus at the
same time.
Cables and Data Rate
The transmission line of choice for RS485 applications is
a twisted pair. There are coaxial cables (twinaxial) made
for this purpose that contain straight pairs, but these are

terrible losses at high data rates (>100kbs), and greatly
reduce the maximum cable length. At low data rates
however, they are acceptable and much more economical.
Losses in a transmission line are a complex combination
of DC conductor loss, AC losses (skin effect), leakage and
AC losses in the dielectric. In good polyethylene cables
such as the Belden 9841, the conductor losses and
dielectric losses are of the same order of magnitude,
leading to relatively low overall loss (Figure 7).
Cable Termination
When using low loss cables, Figure 8 can be used as a
guideline for choosing the maximum line length for a given
data rate. With lower quality PVC cables, the dielectric loss
factor can be 1000 times worse. PVC twisted pairs have
A quick look at the output of the driver will tell how well the
cable is terminated. It is best to look at a driver connected
to the end of the cable, since this eliminates the possibility
of getting reflections from two directions. Simply look at
the driver output while transmitting square wave data. If
the cable is terminated properly, the waveform will look
like a square wave (Figure 9). If the cable is loaded
excessively (47Ω), the signal initially sees the surge
impedance of the cable and jumps to an initial amplitude.
The signal travels down the cable and is reflected back out
of phase because of the mistermination. When the reflected signal returns to the driver, the amplitude will be
lowered. The width of the pedestal is equal to twice the
electrical length of the cable (about 1.5ns/foot). If the

The proper termination of the cable is very important.
If the cable is not terminated with its characteristic
impedance, distorted waveforms will result. In severe
cases, distorted (false) data and nulls will occur.

cable is lightly loaded (470Ω), the signal reflects in phase
and increases the amplitude at the driver output. An input
frequency of 30kHz is adequate for tests out to 4000 feet
of cable.
AC Cable Termination
Cable termination resistors are necessary to prevent unwanted reflections, but they consume power. The typical
differential output voltage of the driver is 2V when the
cable is terminated with two 120Ω resistors, causing
33mA of DC current to flow in the cable when no data is
being sent. This DC current is about 60 times greater than
the supply current of the LTC490. One way to eliminate the
unwanted current is by AC coupling the termination resistors as shown in Figure 10.
The coupling capacitor must allow high frequency energy
to flow to the termination, but block DC and low frequencies. The dividing line between high and low frequency
depends on the length of the cable. The coupling capacitor
must pass frequencies above the point where the line
represents an electrical one-tenth wavelength. The value
of the coupling capacitor should therefore be set at 16.3pF
per foot of cable length for 120Ω cables.
With the coupling capacitors in place, power is consumed
only on the signal edges, and not when the driver output
is idling at a 1 or 0 state. A 100nF capacitor is adequate for
lines up to 4000 feet in length. Be aware that the power
savings start to decrease once the data rate surpasses
1/(120Ω × C).
Fault Protection
All of LTC’s RS485 products are protected against ESD
transients up to 2kV using the human body model (100pF,
1.5kΩ). However, some applications need more
protection. The best protection method is to connect a
bidirectional TransZorb® from each line side pin to ground
(Figure 11). A TransZorb is a silicon transient voltage
suppressor that has exceptional surge handling capabilities, fast response time, and low series resistance. They
are available from General Instruments, GSI and come in
a variety of breakdown voltages and prices. Be sure to pick
a breakdown voltage higher than the common mode
voltage required for your application (typically 12V). Also,
don’t forget to check how much the added parasitic
capacitance will load down the bus.
