The LTC486 is a low power differential bus/line driver
designed for multipoint data transmission standard RS485
applications with extended common-mode range (12V to
–7V). It also meets RS422 requirements.
The CMOS design offers significant power savings over its
bipolar counterpart without sacrificing ruggedness against
overload or ESD damage.
The driver features 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.
Both AC and DC specifications are guaranteed from 0°C to
70°C (Commercial), – 40°C to 85°C (Industrial), over the
4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage range.

Typical Application
A typical connection of the LTC486 is shown in Figure 6.
A twisted pair of wires connect up to 32 drivers and
receivers for half duplex data transmission. There are no
restrictions on where the chips are connected to the
wires, and it isn’t necessary to have the chips connected
at the ends. However, the wires must be terminated only
at the ends with a resistor equal to their characteristic
impedance, typically 120Ω. The optional shields around
the twisted pair help reduce unwanted noise, and are
connected to GND at one end.
Thermal Shutdown
The LTC486 has a thermal shutdown feature which protects the part from excessive power dissipation. If the
outputs of the driver are accidently shorted to a power
supply or low impedance source, up to 250mA can flow
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 LTC486 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.
Cable 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 less
flexible, more bulky, and more costly than twisted pairs.
Many cable manufacturers offer a broad range of 120Ω
cables designed for RS485 applications.

Figure 7. Attenuation vs Frequency for Belden 9841
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
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.
Cable Termination
The proper termination of the cable is very important. If the
cable is not terminated with its characteristic impedance,

10k
CABLE LENGTH (FT)
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, with
relatively low overall loss (Figure 7).
distorted waveforms will result. In severe cases, distorted
(false) data and nulls will occur. 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 (e.g., 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/ft). If the cable is lightly loaded (e.g., 470Ω),

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, 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).

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 ft. 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. When no data is
being sent 33mA of DC current flows in the cable . This DC
current is about 220 times greater than the supply current
of the LTC486. One way to eliminate the unwanted current
is by AC coupling the termination resistors as shown in
Figure 10.
Some data encoding schemes require that the output of
the receiver maintains a known state (usually a logic 1)
when the data is finished transmitting and all drivers on
the line are forced into three-state. All LTC RS485
receivers have a fail-safe feature which guarantees the
output to be in a logic 1 state when the receiver inputs
are left floating (open-circuit). However, when the cable
is terminated with 120Ω, the differential inputs to the
receiver are shorted together, not left floating.
If the receiver output must be forced to a known state,
the circuits of Figure 11 can be used.
The termination resistors are used to generate a DC bias
which forces the receiver output to a known state, in this
case a logic 0. The first method consumes about
208mW and the second about 8mW. The lowest power

forget to check how much the added parasitic capacitance
will load down the bus.
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 greater
protection. The best protection method is to connect a
bidirectional TransZorb® from each line side pin to ground
