The LTC
®
1483 is an ultra-low power differential line trans-
ceiver 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.
B (Pin 7):
Driver Output/Receiver Input.

(Pin 8):
Positive Supply. 4.75V < V
