The LTC487
®
is a low power differential bus/line driver
designed for multipoint data transmission standard RS485
applications with extended common-mode range (– 7V to
12V). It also meets RS422 requirements.
The CMOS design offers significant power savings over its
bipolar counterpart without sacrificing ruggedness against
overload or ESD damage.
The driver features three-state outputs, with the driver
outputs maintaining high impedance over the entire com-
mon-mode range. Excessive power dissipation caused by
bus contention or faults is prevented by a thermal shut-
down circuit which forces the driver outputs into a high
impedance state.
Both AC and DC specifications are guaranteed from 0°C to
70°C (Commercial), – 40°C to 85°C (Industrial) and over
the 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage range.

Typical Application
A typical connection of the LTC487 is shown in Figure 6.
A twisted pair of wires connect up to 32 drivers and
receivers 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 optional shields around
the twisted pair help reduce unwanted noise, and are
connected to GND at one end.
Thermal Shutdown
The LTC487 has a thermal shutdown feature which pro-
tects the part from excessive power dissipation. If the
outputs of the driver are accidently shorted to a power
supply or low impedance source, up to 250mA can flow

through the part. The thermal shutdown circuit disables
the driver outputs when the internal temperature reaches
150°C and turns them back on when the temperature
cools to 130°C. If the outputs of two or more LTC487
drivers are shorted directly, the driver outputs can not
supply enough current to activate the thermal shutdown.
Thus, the thermal shutdown circuit will not prevent con-
tention faults when two drivers are active on the bus at the
same time.
Cable and Data Rate
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.
