The LTC®488 and LTC489 are low power differential bus/
line receivers designed for multipoint data transmission
standard RS485 applications with extended common mode
range (12V to – 7V). They also meet the requirements of
RS422.
The CMOS design offers significant power savings over its
bipolar counterpart without sacrificing ruggedness against
overload or ESD damage.
The receiver features three-state outputs, with the receiver
output maintaining high impedance over the entire common mode range.
The receiver has a fail-safe feature which guarantees a
high output state when the inputs are left open.

Typical Application
Cables and Data Rate
A typical connection of the LTC488/LTC489 is shown in
Figure 5. Two twisted-pair wires connect up to 32 driver/
receiver pairs 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 input impedance of a
receiver is typically 20k to GND, or 0.5 unit RS485 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.
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 twistedpairs. Many cable manufacturers offer a broad range of
120Ω cables designed for RS485 applications.
6
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 cable
such as the Belden 9841, the conductor losses and dielectric losses are of the same order of magnitude, leading to
relatively low overall loss (Figure 6).

When using low loss cables, Figure 7 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 (> 100kbps), 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,
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
7
LTC488/LTC489
U
W
U

S I FOR ATIO
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 8).
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).
If the cable is lightly loaded (470Ω), the signal reflects in
phase and increases the amplitude at the drive 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, 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 LTC488/LTC489. One way to
eliminate the unwanted current is by AC coupling the
termination resistors as shown in Figure 9.
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
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 in three-state. The receiver of the LTC488/
LTC489 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). When the input is terminated with
120Ω and the receiver output must be forced to a known
state, the circuits of Figure 10 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 solution is
to use an AC termination with a pullup resistor. Simply
swap the receiver inputs for data protocols ending in
logic 1.
Fault Protection
All of LTC’s RS485 products are protected against ESD
transients up to 2kV using the human body model (100pF,
1.5k). However, some applications need more protection.
The best protection method is to connect a bidirectional
TransZorb® from each line side pin to ground (Figure 11).
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 instruments, GSI, 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.
