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 72
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.
