3-CHANNEL 75 Ω LINE DRIVER
Rev D1, Page 2/10
DESCRIPTION
The iC-WE is a high-speed monolithic line driver circuit for three independent channels with built-in
characteristic impedance adaption for 75Ω lines. The push-pull outputs are designed for a high driver power
of typ. 300mA at 24V. They are current-limited and short-circuit protected by thermal shut-down at overtemperature. Clamp diodes to VB and to GND protect the IC outputs against echoes of mismatched lines and
against damage due to ESD according to MIL-STD-883.
All inputs are Schmitt triggers and contain current sources from the 5V supply VCC which select a defined
High Level without external wiring. Clamp diodes to VCC and to GND furnish ESD protection.
Using the INVert input it is possible to switch all channels to inverting or non-inverting operation. This enables
a data transmission with balanced line activation using two iC-WE devices. For bus applications the final
stages can be forced to a high impedance state using the TRI-State input.
The circuit monitors supply voltages VB and VCC as well as the chip temperature and switches all final stages
to high impedance in the event of a fault. The NER output which is constructed as an open collector and is
also short-circuit proof reports the fault via the connected line. The error input TNER can be linked to message
outputs of other ICs and allows iC-WE to report a system fault message. If the supply voltage VCC cancels,
NER becomes highly resistive.

3-CHANNEL 75 Ω LINE DRIVER
Rev D1, Page 6/10
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Line drivers for automation & control equipment connect digital signals with TTL or CMOS levels to 24 V systems
via cables. Due to possible short-circuits, the drivers are current-limited and lock out in the event of overtemperature.
32
The maximum permissible signal frequency depends on
the capacitive load of the outputs (cable length) or the
28
consequential power dissipation in the iC-WE.
VB = 30V
24
Except for saturation voltages, the maximum output voltage corresponds to supply voltage VB when the output is
open. Fig. 1 shows the typical DC output characteristic of
a driver as a function of the load. The differential output
resistance is about 75 Ω in broad ranges.
Every open-circuited input is set to high level by an
internal pull-up current source; an additional interconnection with VCC enhances the interference
immunity. An input can be set to low level in response to
a short-circuit or a resistance (<7.5 kΩ) to GND.

LINE EFFECTS
In PLC systems, data transmission with 24 V signals is
generally conducted without a line termination with the
characteristic impedance. A mismatched line end produces reflections which travel back and forth if there is no
line adapter at the driver end either. The transmission is
disrupted in case of high-speed pulse trains.
In the iC-WE, signal reflection is prevented by an integrated characteristic impedance adapter, as shown in Fig. 2.
During a pulse transmission the amplitude at the output of
the iC-WE initially only increases to about one half the
level of supply voltage VB since the internal resistance of
the driver and the line characteristic impedance form a
voltage divider. A wave with this amplitude is injected into
the line and experiences a total reflection at the high
impedance end of the line following a delay based on the
length of the cable. The open or high impedance
terminated end of the line exhibits a voltage maximum
with double amplitude since outgoing and reflected wave
are superimposed.
Fig. 2: Reflections due to open line end
Fig. 3: Pulse transmission and transit times
Following a further delay the reflected wave also increases the driver output to twice the amplitude of the wave
initially injected, possibly capped by the integrated diode suppressor circuit. The integrated characteristic
impedance adaption in the iC-WE prevents another reflection and the voltage achieved is maintained along and
at the end of the line.
A mismatch between the iC-WE and the line influences the level of the initially injected wave and produces
reflections at the driver end. The output signal may have a number of graduations. Nonetheless, lines with
characteristic impedances in the range 40 to 150 Ω permit satisfactory transmissions.
Fig. 3 shows the transmission of a short pulse of 1.5 µs. The signal delay to the end of the cable (here 100 m)
is markedly longer than the transit time in the iC-WE driver.

EXAMPLE 2: Incremental encoder
Fig. 5 shows the iC-WE being used in an optical encoder system together with the iC-Haus incremental encoder
iC-WT.
The iC-WT device is an evaluating IC for photodiode arrays used in incremental lengths and angle measuring
systems. It preprocesses the sensor signals for transmission with line driver iC-WE. At the receive end the
programmable logic controller (PLC) interface can be via optocoupler.
The preprocessed sensor signals are transmitted over cable by the iC-WE with asymmetrical activation. A high
interference immunity is achieved as a result of the high output amplitude and the integrated characteristic
adaption of the iC-WE.
The 24 V power supply is conducted over the cable from the PLC end. A voltage regulator generates the 5 V
supply to the encoder system. It is favourable to use the iC-WD switching regulator device instead of
aconventional voltage regulator. This switched-mode power supply IC operates from 8 to 30 V input voltage and
contains two 5 V post regulators. Analog and digital devices can thus receive separate supply voltages.
iC-WE
3-CHANNEL 75 Ω LINE DRIVER
Rev D1, Page 8/10
The error input TNER on the iC-WE can be utilized to conduct a fault signal from the incremental encoder to the
output NER and then to the receiver.
For protection against voltage peaks from the cable, the state input TRI is wired to the RC combination R1, R2
and C5, which can be dimensioned for levels of up to 30 V at the PLC.
Fig. 5: Line driver iC-WE in the incremental encoder
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT
The iC-WE's 8 GND terminals (pins 4-7 and 14-17) simultaneously function as thermal conductors and must be
soldered to copper tracks with the greatest possible area of the PCB to ensure proper heat dissipation.
Blocking capacitors to smooth the local IC supply voltages must be connected to VCC, VB and GND pins at the
shortest possible intervals. C1 on the regulator in Fig. 3 is only necessary if the voltage regulator is more than
about 3 cm away from the other ICs. C3 should not be less than 1 µF in order to block the 24 V supply.
