DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
1685 is a high speed, precision delay RS485
transceiver that can operate at data rates as high as 52Mbps.
The device also meets the requirements of RS422.
A unique architecture provides very stable propagation
delays and low skew over a wide common mode and
ambient temperature range.
The driver and receiver feature three-state outputs, with
disabled driver outputs maintaining high impedance over
the entire common mode range. A short circuit feature
detects shorted outputs and substantially reduces driver
output current. A similar feature also protects the receiver
output from short circuits. Thermal shutdown circuitry
protects from excessive power dissipation.
The receiver has a fail-safe feature that guarantees a high
output state when the inputs are shorted or are left floating.
The LTC1685 RS485 transceiver guarantees receiver fail-
safe operation over the
entire
common mode range (– 7V
to 12V). Input resistance will remain
≥
22k when the device
is unpowered or disabled.
The LTC1685 operates from a single 5V supply and draws
only 7mA of supply current.

Note 4:
Guaranteed by design, but not tested.
Note 5:
Short-circuit current does not represent output drive capability.
When the output detects a short-circuit condition, output drive current is
significantly reduced (from hundreds of mA to 20mA max) until the short
is removed.

PIN FUNCTIONS
RO (Pin 1):
Receiver Output. If A
≥
B by 300mV, then RO
will be high. If A
≤
B by 300mV, then RO will be low.
RE (Pin 2):
Receiver Enable. RE = Low enables the
receiver. RE = High forces receiver output into high
impedance state. Do not float.
DE (Pin 3):
Driver Enable. DE = High enables the driver.
DE = Low will force the driver output into a high impedance
state and the device will function as a line receiver if RE is
also low. Do not float.
DI (Pin 4):
Driver Input. Controls the states of the A and
B outputs only if DE = High. If DE = Low, DI will have no
effect on A and B pins. Do not float.
GND (Pin 5):
Ground.
A (Pin 6):
Noninverting Receiver Input/Driver Output.
B (Pin 7):
Inverting Receiver Input/Driver Output.
V
DD
(Pin 8):
Positive Supply, 5V to
