The LTC®1483 is an ultra-low power differential line transceiver designed for data transmission standard RS485
applications with extended common-mode range (– 7V to
12V). It will also meet the requirements of RS422. The
LTC1483 features output drivers with controlled slew rate,
decreasing the EMI radiated from the RS485 lines, and
improving signal fidelity with misterminated lines. The
CMOS design offers significant power savings over its
bipolar counterparts without sacrificing ruggedness against
overload or ESD damage. Typical quiescent current is only
80µA while operating and less than 1µA in shutdown.
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. I/O pins are protected against multiple
ESD strikes of over ±10kV.
The LTC1483 is fully specified over the commercial and
extended industrial temperature range and is available in
8-pin DIP and SO packages.

PIN FUNCTIONS
RO (Pin 1): Receiver Output. If the receiver output is
enabled (RE low), then if A > B by 200mV, RO will be high.
If A < B by 200mV, then RO will be low.
RE (Pin 2): Receiver Output Enable. A low enables the
receiver output, RO. A high input forces the receiver
output into a high impedance state.
DE (Pin 3): Driver Outputs Enable. A high on DE enables
the driver output. A, B and the chip will function as a line
driver. A low input will force the driver outputs into a high
impedance state and the chip will function as a line
receiver. If RE is high and DE is low, the part will enter a low
power (1µA) shutdown state.
DI (Pin 4): Driver Input. If the driver outputs are enabled
(DE high) then a low on DI forces the outputs A low and B
high. A high on DI with the driver outputs enabled will force
A high and B low.
GND (Pin 5): Ground.
A (Pin 6): Driver Output/Receiver Input.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Basic Theory of Operation
Traditionally RS485 transceivers have been designed using bipolar technology because the common-mode range
of the device must extend beyond the supplies and the
device must be immune to ESD damage and latch-up.
Unfortunately, most bipolar devices draw a large amount
of supply current, which is unacceptable for the numerous
applications that require low power consumption. The
LTC1483 is a CMOS RS485/RS422 transceiver which
features ultra-low power consumption without sacrificing
ESD and latch-up immunity.
The LTC1483 uses a proprietary driver output stage,
which allows a common-mode range that extends beyond
the power supplies while virtually eliminating latch-up and
providing excellent ESD protection. Figure 9 shows the
LTC1483 output stage while Figure 10 shows a conventional CMOS output stage.
When the conventional CMOS output stage of Figure 10
enters a high impedance state, both the P-channel (P1)
and the N-channel (N1) are turned off. If the output is then
driven above VCC or below ground, the P+/N-well diode
6
(D1) or the N+/P-substrate diode (D2) respectively will
turn on and clamp the output to the supply. Thus, the
output stage is no longer in a high impedance state and is
not able to meet the RS485 common-mode range requirement. In addition, the large amount of current flowing
through either diode will induce the well-known CMOS
latch-up condition, which could destroy the device.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The LTC1483 output stage will maintain a high impedance
state until the breakdown of the N-channel or P-channel is
reached when going positive or negative respectively. The
output will be clamped to either VCC or ground by a Zener
voltage plus a Schottky diode drop, but this voltage is well
beyond the RS485 operating range. An ESD cell protects
output against multiple ±10kV human body model ESD
strikes. Because the ESD injected current in the N-well or
substrate consists of majority carriers, latch-up is prevented by careful layout techniques.
Slew Rate
The LTC1483 is designed for systems that are sensitive to
electromagnetic radiation. The part features a slew rate
limited driver that reduces high frequency electromagnetic emissions, while improving signal fidelity by reducing reflections due to misterminated cables. Figures 11
and 12 show the spectrum of the signal at the driver output
for a standard slew rate RS485 driver and the slew rate
limited LTC1483. The LTC1483 shows significant reduction of the high frequency harmonics. Because the driver
is slew rate limited, the maximum operating frequency is
limited to 250kbits/s.
Low Power Operation
The LTC1483 is designed to operate with a quiescent
current of 120µA max. With the driver in three-state ICC will

LOG MAGNITUDE (dBVRMS)
The LTC1483 output stage of Figure 9 eliminates these
problems by adding two Schottky diodes, SD3 and SD4.
The Schottky diodes are fabricated by a proprietary modification to the standard N-well CMOS process. When the
output stage is operating normally, the Schottky diodes
are forward biased and have a small voltage drop across
them. When the output is in the high impedance state and
is driven above VCC or below ground, the parasitic diode
D1 or D2 still turns on, but SD3 or SD4 will reverse bias and
prevent current from flowing into the N-well or the substrate. Thus the high impedance state is maintained even
with the output voltage beyond the supplies. With no
minority carrier current flowing into the N-well or substrate, latch-up is virtually eliminated under power-up or
power-down conditions.

be additional current drawn by the internal 12k resistor.
Under normal operating conditions this additional current
is overshadowed by the current drawn by the external bus
impedance.

Shutdown Mode
Both the receiver output (RO) and the driver outputs (A, B)
can be placed in three-state mode by bringing RE high and
DE low respectively. In addition, the LTC1483 will enter
shutdown mode when RE is high and DE is low.
In shutdown the LTC1483 typically draws only 1µA of
supply current. In order to guarantee that the part goes
into shutdown, RE must be high and DE must be low for
at least 600ns simultaneously. If this time duration is less
U
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION
than 50ns the part will not enter shutdown mode. Toggling
either RE or DE will wake the LTC1483 back up within
3.5µs.
If the slow slew rate driver was active immediately prior to
shutdown, the supply current will not drop to 1µA until the
driver outputs have reached a steady state; this can take as
long as 2.6µs under worst case conditions. If the driver
was disabled prior to shutdown the supply current will
drop to 1µA immediately.
