It is designed for data transmission standard RS485 applications with extended common-mode range (12V to –7V). It also meets the requirements of RS422 and features high speed operation up to 2.5Mb/s. The CMOS design offers significant power savings without sacrificing ruggedness against overload or ESD damage. Typical quiescent current is only 300µA while operating and 1µA in shutdown. 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 up to ±10kV. The LTC1480 is fully specified over the commercial and extended industrial temperature range. The LTC1480 is available in 8-pin SO and DIP packages. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

Receiver Enable and Disable Times APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO CMOS Output Driver The LTC1480 transceiver provides full RS485 compatibility while operating from a single 3.3V supply. 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 LTC1480 uses a proprietary process enhancement which adds a pair of Schottky diodes to the output stage (Figure 10), preventing current from flowing when the common-mode 6 W U W UU W U f = 1MHz, tr ≤ 10ns, tf ≤ 10ns t ZL(SHDN), t ZL t LZ 1.5V 2.3V OUTPUT NORMALLY LOW 0.5V 2.3V OUTPUT NORMALLY HIGH 0.5V 1.5V f = 1MHz, tr ≤ 10ns, tf ≤ 10ns t ZL(SHDN), tZL t LZ 1.5V 1.5V OUTPUT NORMALLY LOW 0.5V 1.5V OUTPUT NORMALLY HIGH 0.5V VCC VCC P1 SD3 P1 D1 OUTPUT N1 D2 D1 OUTPUT LOGIC LOGIC N1 SD4 D2 LTC1480 • F10 LTC1480 • F09 Figure 9. Conventional CMOS Output Stage Figure 10. LTC1480 Output Stage LTC1480 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO 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 of up to ±10kV. 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 LTC1480 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 LTC1480 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. Receiver Inputs The LTC1480 features an input common-mode range covering the entire RS485 specified range of –7V to 12V. 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 effects of noise on the line signals. If the receiver inputs are floating (unterminated) an internal pull-up of 10µA at the A input will force the receiver output to a known high state. Low Power Operation The LTC1480 draws very little supply current whenever the driver outputs are disabled. In shutdown mode the quiescent current is typically less than 1µA. With the Information furnished by Linear Technology Corporation is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no responsibility is assumed for its use. Linear Technology Corporation makes no representation that the interconnection of circuits as described herein will not infringe on existing patent rights. U receiver active and the driver outputs disabled, the LTC1480 will typically draw 300µA quiescent current. With the driver outputs enabled but unterminated, quiescent current will rise as one of the two outputs sources current into the internal receiver input resistance. With the minimum receiver input resistance of 12k and the maximum output swing of 3.3V, the quiescent current will rise by a maximum of 275µA. Typical quiescent current rise with the driver enabled is about 100µA. 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 100µA drawn by internal receiver inputs. Shutdown Mode 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 LTC1480 will enter shutdown mode when RE is HIGH and DE is LOW. In shutdown the LTC1480 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. 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 LTC1480 propagation delay. The receiver delay times are: tPLH – tPHL = 13ns Typ, VCC = 3.3V W UU The driver’s skew times are: tSKEW = 10ns Typ, VCC = 3.3V 20ns Max, VCC = 3.3V, TA = – 40°C to 85°C 7 LTC1480 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO TTL IN t r, t f < 6ns D Figure 11.
