LTC1535
Isolated RS485 Transceiver
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
n
The LTC®1535 is an isolated RS485 full-duplex differential
line transceiver. Isolated RS485 is ideal for systems where
the ground loop is broken to allow for much larger common
mode voltage ranges. An internal capacitive isolation barrier
provides 2500VRMS of isolation between the line transceiver
and the logic level interface. The powered side contains a
420kHz push-pull converter to power the isolated RS485
transceiver. Internal full-duplex communication occurs
through the capacitive isolation barrier. The transceiver
meets RS485 and RS422 requirements.

Isolated RS485 Receiver/Driver
RS485 with Large Common Mode Voltage
Breaking RS485 Ground Loops
Multiple Unterminated Line Taps
The driver and receiver feature three-state outputs, with
the driver maintaining high impedance over the entire
common mode range. The drivers have short-circuit
current limits in both directions and a slow slew rate select
to minimize EMI or reflections. The 68kΩ receiver input
allows up to 128 node connections. A fail-safe feature
defaults to a high output state when the receiver inputs
are open or shorted.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: RS422 50Ω specification based on RS485 27Ω test.
Note 3: IIN is tested at VCC2 = 5V, guaranteed by design from
GND2 ≤ VCC2 ≤ 5.25V.
Note 4: Input fault conditions on the RS485 receiver are detected with a
fixed receiver offset. The offset is such that an input short or open will
result in a high data output.
Note 5: The low voltage detect faults when VCC2 or VCC drops below
VUVL and reenables when greater than VUVH . The fault can be monitored
through the weak driver output on RE.

Note 6: Value derived from 1 second test.
Note 7: The input signals are internally sampled and encoded. The internal
sample rate determines the data output jitter since the internal sampling is
asynchronous with respect to the external data. Nominally, a 4MHz internal
sample rate gives 250ns of sampling uncertainty in the input signals.
Note 8: The maximum baud rate is 250kBd with 10% sampling jitter.
Lower baud rates have lower jitter.
Note 9: Start-up time is the time for communication to recover after a fault
condition. Data time-out is the time a fault is indicated on RE after data
communication has stopped.
Note 10: ICC measured with no load, ST1 and ST2 floating.

LTC1535
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Isolation Barrier and Sampled Communication
Push-Pull DC/DC Converter
The LTC1535 uses the SW-28 isolated lead frame package
to provide capacitive isolation barrier between the logic
interface and the RS485 driver/receiver pair. The barrier
provides 2500VRMS of isolation. Communication between
the two sides uses the isolation capacitors in a multiplexed
way to communicate full-duplex data across this barrier
(see Figure 20 and Block Diagram). The data is sampled and
encoded before transmitting across the isolation barrier,
which will add sampling jitter and delay to the signals (see
Figures 13 and 14). The sampling jitter is approximately
250ns with a nominal delay of 600ns. At 250kBd rate,
this represents 6.2% total jitter. The nominal DE signal to
the driver output delay is 875ns ±125ns, which is longer
due to the encoding. Communication start-up time is
approximately 1μs to 2μs. A time-out fault will occur if
communication from the isolated side fails. Faults can be
monitored on the RE pin.
The powered side contains a full-bridge open-loop driver,
optimized for use with a single primary and center-tapped
secondary transformer. Figure 10 shows the DC/DC
converter in a configuration that can deliver up to 100mA
of current to the isolated side using a Cooper CTX02-14659
transformer.
Because the DC/DC converter is open-loop, care in choosing
low impedance parts is important for good regulation. Care
must also be taken to not exceed the VCC2 recommended
maximum voltage of 7.5V when there is very light loading.
The isolated side contains a low voltage detect circuit to
ensure that communication across the barrier will only
occur when there is sufficient isolated supply voltage.
If the output of the DC/DC converter is overloaded, the
supply voltage will trip the low voltage detection at 4.2V.
For higher voltage stand-off, the Cooper CTX02-14608
transformer may be used.
The maximum baud rate can be determined by connecting
in self-oscillation mode as shown in Figure 1. In this
configuration, with SLO = VCC2 , the oscillation frequency is
set by the internal sample rate. With SLO = 0V, the frequency
is reduced by the slower output rise and fall times.

LTC1535
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Driver Output and Slow Slew Rate Control
Monitoring Faults on RE
The LTC1535 uses a proprietary driver output stage that
allows a common mode voltage range that extends beyond
the power supplies. Thus, the high impedance state is
maintained over the full RS485 common mode range.
The output stage provides 100mA of short-circuit current
limiting in both the positive and negative directions. Thus,
even under short-circuit conditions, the supply voltage
from the open-loop DC converter will remain high enough
for proper communication across the isolation barrier. The
driver output will be disabled in the event of a thermal
shutdown and a fault condition will be indicated through
the RE weak output.
The RE pin can be used to monitor the following fault
conditions: low supply voltages, thermal shutdown or
a time-out fault when there is no data communication
across the barrier. During a fault, the receiver output,
RO, defaults to a high state (see Table 2). Open circuit or
short-circuit conditions on the twisted pair do not cause
a fault indication. However, the RS485 receiver defaults
to a high output state when the receiver input is open or
short-circuited.
The CMOS level SLO pin selects slow or fast slew rates
on the RS485 driver output (see Figures 15, 16, 17, 18 for
typical waveforms). The SLO input has an internal 100k
pull-up resistor. When SLO is low, the driver outputs are
slew rate limited to reduce high frequency edges. Left open
or tied high, SLO defaults to fast edges. The part draws
more current during slow slew rate edges.
The RE pin has a weak current drive output mode for
indicating fault conditions. This fault state can be polled
using a bidirectional microcontroller I/O line or by using
the circuit in Figure 11, where the control to RE is threestated and the fault condition read back from the RE pin.
The weak drive has 100μA pull-up current to indicate a
fault and 50μA pull-down current for no fault. This allows
the RE pin to be polled without disabling RE on nonfault
conditions.
Both sides contain a low voltage detect circuit. A
voltage less than 4.2V on the isolated side disables
communication.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
High Voltage Considerations
The LTC1535 eliminates ground loops on data communication lines. However, such isolation can bring potentially
dangerous voltages onto the circuit board. An example
would be accidental faulting to 117V AC at some point
on the cable which is then conducted to the PC board.
Figure 12 shows how to detect and warn the user or
installer that a voltage fault condition exists on the twisted
pair or its shield. A small (3.2mm) glow lamp is connected
between GND2 (the isolated ground) and the equipment’s
safety “earth” ground. If a potential of more than 75V
AC is present on the twisted pair or shield, B1 will light,
indicating a wiring fault. Resistors R3 and R4 are used
to ballast the current in B1. Two resistors are necessary
because they can only stand off 200V each, as well as for
power dissipation. As shown, the circuit can withstand a
direct fault to a 440V 3-phase system.
Other problems introduced by floating the twisted pair
include the collection of static charge on the twisted pair,
its shield and the attached circuitry. Resistors R1 and R2
provide a path to shunt static charge safely to ground.
Again, two resisitors are necessary to withstand high
voltage faults. Electrostatic spikes, electromagnetically
induced transients and radio frequency pickup are shunted
by addition capacitor C1.
Receiver Inputs Fail-Safe
The LTC1535 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 TTL compatible signals at the receiver outputs, RO
and RO2. A small amount of input hyteresis is included
to minimize the effects of noise on the line signals. If
the receiver inputs are floating or shorted, a designed-in
receiver offset guarantees a fail-safe logic high at the
receiver outputs. If a fail-safe logic low is desired, connect
as shown in Figure 19.
