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.
