Ground Difference Between Devices on the Data Line
Power-Up/Down Glitch-Free Driver Outputs Permit
Live Insertion or Removal of Transceiver
Driver Maintains High Impedance with the Power Off
Up to 32 Transceivers on the Bus
Pin Compatible with the SN75179 and LTC490
Available in SO, MSOP and PDIP Packages
The LTC®1690 is a low power receiver/driver pair that is
compatible with the requirements of RS485 and RS422.
The receiver offers a fail-safe feature that guarantees a
high receiver output state when the inputs are left open,
shorted together or terminated with no signal present. No
external components are required to ensure the high
receiver output state.
Separate driver output and receiver input pins allow full
duplex operation. 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 LTC1690 is fully specified over the commercial and
industrial temperature ranges. The LTC1690 is available in
8-Pin SO, MSOP and PDIP packages.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
A typical application is shown in Figure 6. Two twisted pair
wires connect two driver/receiver pairs for full duplex data
transmission. Note that the driver and receiver outputs are
always enabled. If the outputs must be disabled, use the
LTC491. There are no restrictions on where the chips are
connected, and it isn’t necessary to have the chips connected to the ends of the wire. However, the wires must be
terminated at the ends with a resistor equal to their
characteristic impedance, typically 120Ω. Because only
one driver can be connected on the bus, the cable need
only be terminated at the receiving end. The optional
shields around the twisted pair are connected to GND at
one end and help reduce unwanted noise.
logic 1 state when the receiver inputs are left floating or
shorted together. This is achieved without external components by designing the trip-point of the LTC1690 to be
within – 200mV to –10mV. If the receiver output must be
a logic 0 instead of a logic 1, external components are
required.
The LTC1690 can be used as a line repeater as shown in
Figure 7. If the cable is longer that 4000 feet, the LTC1690
is inserted in the middle of the cable with the receiver
output connected back to the driver input.
The driver outputs generate fast rise and fall times. If the
LTC1690 receiver inputs are not terminated and floating,
switching noise from the LTC1690 driver can couple into
the receiver inputs and cause the receiver output to glitch.
This can be prevented by ensuring that the receiver inputs
are terminated with a 100Ω or 120Ω resistor, depending
on the type of cable used. A cable capacitance that is
greater than 10pF (≈1ft of cable) also prevents glitches if
no termination is present. The receiver inputs should not
be driven typically above 8MHz to prevent glitches.
Receiver Fail-Safe
Some encoding schemes require that the output of the
receiver maintains a known state (usually a logic 1) when
data transmission ends and all drivers on the line are
forced into three-state. The receiver of the LTC1690 has a
fail-safe feature which guarantees the output to be in a
The LTC1690 fail-safe receiver is designed to reject fast
–7V to 12V common mode steps at its inputs. The slew
rate that the receiver will reject is typically 400V/µs, but
–7V to 12V steps in 10ns can be tolerated if the frequency
of the common mode step is moderate (<600kHz).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Fault Protection
When shorted to –7V or 10V at room temperature, the
short-circuit current in the driver outputs is limited by
internal resistance or protection circuitry to 250mA maximum. Over the industrial temperature range, the absolute
maximum positive voltage at any driver output should be
limited to 10V to avoid damage to the driver outputs. At
higher ambient temperatures, the rise in die temperature
due to the short-circuit current may trip the thermal
shutdown circuit.
The receiver inputs can withstand the entire –7V to 12V
RS485 common mode range without damage.
The LTC1690 includes a thermal shutdown circuit that
protects the part against prolonged shorts at the driver
outputs. If a driver output is shorted to another output or
to VCC, the current will be limited to a maximum of 250mA.
If the die temperature rises above 150°C, the thermal
shutdown circuit three-states the driver outputs to open
the current path. When the die cools down to about 130°C,
the driver outputs are taken out of three-state. If the short
persists, the part will heat again and the cycle will repeat.
This thermal oscillation occurs at about 10Hz and protects
the part from excessive power dissipation. The average
fault current drops as the driver cycles between active and
three-state. When the short is removed, the part will return
to normal operation.
If the outputs of two or more LTC1690 drivers are shorted
directly, the driver outputs cannot 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.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Cables and Data Rate
ESD PROTECTION
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.
The ESD performance of the LTC1690 driver outputs (Z, Y)
and the receiver inputs (A, B) is as follows:
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 Belden 9841, the conductor losses and dielectric
losses are of the same order of magnitude, leading to
relatively low overall loss (Figure 8).
c) Meets IEC1000-4-2 Level 3 (±8kV) air discharge specifications.
When using low loss cable, Figure 9 can be used as a
guideline for choosing the maximum 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 (>100kbits/s), reducing
the maximum cable length. At low data rates, they are
acceptable and are more economical. The LTC1690 is
tested and guaranteed to drive CAT 5 cable and terminations as well as common low cost residential telephone
wire.
a) Meets ±15kV Human Body Model (100pF, 1.5kΩ).
b) Meets IEC1000-4-2 Level 4 (±8kV) contact mode specifications.
This level of ESD performance means that external voltage
suppressors are not required in many applications, when
compared with parts that are only protected to ±2kV. The
LTC1690 driver input (D) and receiver output are protected to ±2kV per the Human Body Model.
When powered up, the LTC1690 does not latch up or
sustain damage when the Z, Y, A or B pins are subjected
to any of the conditions listed above. The data during the
ESD event may be corrupted, but after the event the
LTC1690 continues to operate normally.
The additional ESD protection at the LTC1690 Z, Y, A and
B pins is important in applications where these pins are
exposed to the external world via socket connections.
