■
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.

Typical Application
typically 20kΩ to GND, or 0.6 unit RS-485 load, so in
practice 50 to 60 transceivers can be connected to the
same wires. The optional shields around the twisted pair
help reduce unwanted noise, and are connected to GND at
one end.
A typical connection of the LTC491 is shown in Figure 9.
Two twisted pair wires connect up to 32 driver/receiver
pairs for full 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 input impedance of a receiver is
The LTC491 can also be used as a line repeater as shown
in Figure 10. If the cable length is longer than 4000 feet, the
LTC491 is inserted in the middle of the cable with the
receiver output connected back to the driver input.

Thermal Shutdown
The LTC491 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 LTC491
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.
Cables and Data Rate
less flexible, more bulky, and more costly than twisted
pairs. Many cable manufacturers offer a broad range of
120Ω cables designed for RS485 applications.
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,
leading to relatively low over all loss (Figure 11).
When using low loss cables, Figure 12 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.
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

Cable Termination
The proper termination of the cable is very important.
If the cable is not terminated with it’s characteristic
impedance, 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 13).
PROBE HERE
If the cable is lightly loaded (470Ω), 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
feet 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, causing
33mA of DC current to flow in the cable when no data is
being sent. This DC current is about 60 times greater than
the supply current of the LTC491. One way to eliminate the
unwanted current is by AC coupling the termination resistors as shown in Figure 14.

LTC491 • TA14
Figure 13. Termination Effects
If the cable is loaded excessively (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/foot).
The coupling capacitor must allow high-frequency energy
to flow to the termination, but block DC and low frequencies. The dividing line between high and low frequency
depends on the length of the cable. The coupling capacitor
must pass frequencies above the point where the line
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, and 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).

Receiver Open-Circuit Fail-Safe
Fault Protection
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. The receiver of the LTC491
has 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. Because the receiver
has about 70mV of hysteresis, the receiver output will
maintain the last data bit received.
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 more
protection. The best protection method is to connect a
bidirectional TransZorb from each line side pin to ground
(Figure 16).

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 solution is to
use an AC termination with a pull-up resistor. Simply swap
the receiver inputs for data protocols ending in logic 1.

Figure 16. ESD Protection with TransZorbs
A TransZorb is a silicon transient voltage suppressor that
has exceptional surge handling capabilities, fast response
time, and low series resistance. They are available from
General Semiconductor Industries and come in a variety of
breakdown voltages and prices. Be sure to pick a breakdown voltage higher than the common mode voltage
required for your application (typically 12V). Also, don’t
forget to check how much the added parasitic capacitance
will load down the bus.
