The LT
®
1785/LT1791 are half-duplex and full-duplex dif-
ferential bus transceivers for RS485 and RS422 applica-
tions which feature on-chip protection from overvoltage
faults on the data transmission lines. Receiver input and
driver output pins can withstand voltage faults up to
±60V
with respect to ground with no damage to the device.
Faults may occur while the transceiver is active, shut down
or powered off.
Data rates to 250kbaud on networks of up to 128 nodes are
supported. Controlled slew rates on the driver outputs
control EMI emissions and improve data transmission
integrity on improperly terminated lines. Drivers are speci-
fied to operate with inexpensive cables as low as 72Ω
characteristic impedance.
The LT1785A/LT1791A devices have “fail-safe” receiver
inputs to guarantee a receiver output high for shorted,
open or inactive data lines. On-chip ESD protection elimi-
nates need for external protection devices.
The LT1785/LT1785A are available in 8-lead DIP and SO
packages and the LT1791/LT1791A in 14-lead DIP and SO
packages.

PIN FUNCTIONS
RO:
Receiver Output. TTL level logic output. If the receiver
is active (RE pin low), RO is high if receiver input A
≥
B by
200mV. If A
≤
B by 200mV, then RO will be low. RO
assumes a high impedance output state when RE is high
or the part is powered off. RO is protected from output
shorts from ground to 6V.
RE:
Receiver Output Enable. TTL level logic input. A logic
low on RE enables normal operation of the receiver output
RO. A logic high level at RE places the receiver output pin
RO into a high impedance state. If receiver enable RE and
driver enable DE are both in the disable state, the circuit
goes to a low power shutdown state. Placing either RE or
DE into its active state brings the circuit out of shutdown.
Shutdown state is not entered until a 3µs delay after both
RE and DE are disabled, allowing for logic skews in
toggling between transmit and receive modes of opera-
tion. For CAN bus applications, RE should be tied low to
prevent the circuit from entering shutdown.
DE:
Driver Output Enable. TTL level logic input. A logic
high on DE enables normal operation of the driver outputs
(Y and Z on LT1791, A and B on LT1785). A logic low level
at DE places the driver output pins into a high impedance
