The LTC®1487 is an ultra-low power differential line transceiver designed with high impedance inputs allowing up to
256 transceivers to share a single bus. It meets the
requirements of RS485 and RS422. The LTC1487 features
output drivers with controlled slew rate, decreasing the
EMI radiated from the RS485 lines, and improving signal
fidelity with misterminated lines. The CMOS design offers
significant power savings without sacrificing ruggedness
against overload or ESD damage. Typical quiescent current is only 80µA while operating and 1µA in shutdown.
High Input Impedance: Up to 256 Transceivers
on the Bus
Low Power: ICC = 120µA Max with Driver Disabled
ICC = 200µA Max with Driver Enabled, No Load
1µA Quiescent Current in Shutdown Mode
Controlled Slew Rate Driver for Reduced EMI
Single 5V Supply
ESD Protection to ±10kV On Receiver Inputs and
Driver outputs
– 7V to 12V Common-Mode Range Permits ±7V
Ground Difference Between Devices on the Data Line
Thermal Shutdown Protection
Power Up/Down Glitch-Free Driver Outputs Permit
Live Insertion or Removal of Transceiver
Driver Maintains High Impedance in Three-State
or with the Power Off
Pin Compatible with the LTC485
The driver and receiver feature three-state outputs, with
the driver outputs maintaining high impedance over the
entire common-mode range. 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. I/O pins are protected against multiple
ESD strikes of over ±10kV using the Human Body Model.

PIN FUNCTIONS
RO (Pin 1): Receiver Output. If the receiver output is
enabled (RE LOW), and A > B by 200mV, RO will be HIGH.
If A < B by 200mV, then RO will be LOW.
RE (Pin 2): Receiver Output Enable. A LOW enables the
receiver output, RO. A HIGH input forces the receiver
output into a high impedance state.
DE (Pin 3): Driver Outputs Enable. A HIGH on DE enables
the driver output. A and B and the chip will function as a line
driver. A LOW input will force the driver outputs into a high
impedance state and the chip will function as a line
receiver. If RE is HIGH and DE is LOW, the part will enter
a low power (1µA) shutdown state.
DI (Pin 4): Driver Input. If the driver outputs are enabled
(DE HIGH) then a LOW on DI forces the outputs A LOW and
B HIGH. A HIGH on DI with the driver outputs enabled will
force A HIGH and B LOW.
GND (Pin 5): Ground.
A (Pin 6): Driver Output/Receiver Input.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
High Input Impedance
VCC
The LTC1487 is designed with a 96kΩ (typ) input impedance to allow up to 256 transceivers to share a single
RS485 differential data bus. The RS485 specification
requires that a transceiver be able to drive as many as 32
“unit loads.” One unit load (UL) is defined as an impedance that draws a maximum of 1mA with up to 12V across
it. Typical RS485 transceivers present between 0.5 and 1
unit load at their inputs. The 96kΩ input impedance of the
LTC1487 will draw only 125µA under the same 12V
condition, presenting only 0.125UL to the bus. As a result,
256 LTC1487 transceivers (32UL/0.125UL = 256) can be
connected to a single RS485 data bus without exceeding
the RS485 driver load specification. The LTC1487 meets
all other RS485 specifications, allowing it to operate
equally well with standard RS485 transceiver devices or
high impedance transceivers.
CMOS Output Driver
The RS485 specification requires that a transceiver withstand common-mode voltages of up to 12V or –7V at the
RS485 line connections. Additionally, the transceiver must
be immune to both ESD and latch-up. This rules out
traditional CMOS drivers, which include parasitic diodes
from their driver outputs to each supply rail (Figure 9). The
LTC1487 uses a proprietary process enhancement which
adds a pair of Schottky diodes to the output stage (Figure
10), preventing current from flowing when the commonmode voltage exceeds the supply rails. Latch-up at the
output drivers is virtually eliminated and the driver is
prevented from loading the line under RS485 specified
fault conditions. A proprietary output protection structure
protects the transceiver line terminals against ESD strikes
(Human Body Model) of up to ±10kV.

Figure 10. LTC1487 Output Stage
When two or more drivers are connected to the same
transmission line, a potential condition exists whereby
more than two drivers are simultaneously active. If one or
more drivers is sourcing current while another driver is
sinking current, excessive power dissipation may occur
within either the sourcing or sinking element. This condition is defined as driver contention, since multiple drivers
are competing for one transmission line. The LTC1487
provides a current limiting scheme to prevent driver
contention failure. When driver contention occurs, the
current drawn is limited to about 70mA, preventing excessive power dissipation within the drivers.
The LTC1487 has a thermal shutdown feature which
protects the part from excessive power dissipation. Under
extreme fault conditions, up to 250mA can flow through
the part, causing rapid internal temperature rise. The
thermal shutdown circuit will disable the driver outputs
when the internal temperature reaches 150°C and turns
them back on when the temperature cools to 130°C. This
cycle will repeat as necessary until the fault condition is
removed.

Figure 9. Conventional CMOS Output Stage
The LTC1487 receiver features an input common-mode
range covering the entire RS485 specified range of –7V to
12V. Internal 96k input resistors from each line terminal to
ground provide the 0.125UL load to the RS485 bus.
Differential signals of greater than ±200mV within the
specified input common-mode range will be converted to
a TTL-compatible signal at the receiver output. A small
amount of input hysteresis is included to minimize the
sn1487 1487fs

effects of noise on the line signals. If the line is terminated
or the receiver inputs are shorted together, the receiver
output will retain the last valid line signal due to the 45mV
of hysteresis incorporated in the receiver circuit. If the
LTC1487 transceiver inputs are left floating (unterminated),
an internal pull-up of 10µA at the A input will force the
receiver output to a known high state.
In shutdown the LTC1487 typically draws only 1µA of
supply current. In order to guarantee that the part goes
into shutdown, RE must be HIGH and DE must be LOW for
at least 600ns simultaneously. If this time duration is less
than 50ns the part will not enter shutdown mode. Toggling
either RE or DE will wake the LTC1487 back up within
3.5µs.
Low Power Operation
If the driver is active immediately prior to shutdown, the
supply current will not drop to 1µA until the driver
outputs have reached a steady state; this can take as long
as 2.6µs under worst case conditions. If the driver is
disabled prior to shutdown the supply current will drop
to 1µA immediately.
The LTC1487 draws very little supply current whenever
the driver outputs are disabled. In shutdown mode, the
quiescent current is typically less than 1µA. With the
receiver active and the driver outputs disabled, the LTC1487
will typically draw 80µA quiescent current. With the driver
outputs enabled but unterminated, quiescent current will
rise slightly as one of the two outputs sources current into
the internal receiver input resistance. With the minimum
receiver input resistance of 70k and the maximum output
swing of 5V, the quiescent current will rise by a maximum
of 72µA. Typical quiescent current rise with the driver
enabled is about 40µA.
The quiescent current rises significantly if the driver is
enabled when it is externally terminated. With 1/2
termination load (120Ω between the driver outputs), the
quiescent current will jump to at least 13mA as the drivers
force a minimum of 1.5V across the termination resistance.
With a fully terminated 60Ω line attached, the current will
rise to greater than 25mA with the driver enabled,
completely overshadowing the extra 40µA drawn by the
internal receiver inputs.
Slew Rate and Propagation Delay
Many digital encoding schemes are dependent upon the
difference in the propagation delay times of the driver and
receiver. Figure 11 shows the test circuit for the LTC1487
propagation delay.

The receiver delay times are:
tPLH – tPHL = 13ns Typ, VCC = 5V
Shutdown Mode
The LTC1487 drivers feature controlled slew rate to reduce
system EMI and improve signal fidelity by reducing reflections due to misterminated cables.
Both the receiver output (RO) and the driver outputs (A, B)
can be placed in three-state mode by bringing RE HIGH
and DE LOW respectively. In addition, the LTC1487 will
enter shutdown mode when RE is HIGH and DE is LOW.
The driver’s skew times are:
Skew = 250ns Typ, VCC = 5V
600ns Max, VCC = 5V, TA = – 40°C to 85°C
