LTC1546
interface has a differential termination at the receiver end
that has a minimum value of 100Ω. The termination
resistor is optional in the V.11 specification, but for the
high speed clock and data lines, the termination is essen-
tial to prevent reflections from corrupting the data. The
receiver inputs must also be compliant with the imped-
ance curve shown in Figure 20.
In V.11 mode, all switches are off except S1 of the
LTC1546’s receivers which connects a 103Ω differential
termination impedance to the cable as shown in Figure
23

. The LTC1544 only handles control signals, so no
termination other than its V.11 receivers’ 30k input imped-
ance is necessary.
V.28 (RS232) Interface
A typical V.28 unbalanced interface is shown in Figure 24.
A V.28 single-ended generator with output A and ground
C is connected to a single-ended receiver with input A'

connected to A and ground C' connected via the signal
return to ground C.
In V.28 mode, S3 is closed inside the LTC1546/LTC1544
which connects a 6k (R8) impedance to ground in parallel
with 20k (R5) plus 10k (R6) for a combined impedance of
5k as shown in Figure 25. Proper termination is only pro-
vided when the B input of the receivers is floating, since S1
of the LTC1546’s R2 and R3 receivers remains on in V.28
mode

. The noninverting input is disconnected inside the
LTC1546/LTC1544 receiver and connected to a TTL level
reference voltage to give a 1.4V receiver trip point.

Actually, there is no switch S1 in receivers R2 and R3. However, for simplicity, all termination
networks on the LTC1546 can be treated identically if it is assumed that an S1 switch exists and is
always closed on the R2 and R3 receivers.
