LTC1482
Low Power RS485 Transceiver
with Carrier Detect and
Receiver Fail-Safe
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
廬
1482 is a low power RS485 compatible trans-
ceiver that offers an active low carrier detect output. The
open-drain carrier detect pin allows several transceivers
to share the same carrier detect line and can be used to
detect the insertion or removal of a driven RS485/RS422
cable.
Enhanced ESD protection allows the LTC1482 to with-
stand
鹵15kV
(human body model), IEC-1000-4-2 level 4
(鹵8kV) contact and level 3 (鹵8kV) air discharge ESD
without latchup or damage.
The LTC1482 receiver stays alive at all times except in
shutdown. The supply current is a maximum of 700碌A(chǔ)
and 900碌A(chǔ) when the driver is disabled and enabled
respectively. In shutdown, the quiescent current of the
LTC1482 drops to a maximum of 20碌A(chǔ).
When the driver is disabled or the LTC1482 is in shut-
down, the driver outputs are three-stated and remain in
a high impedance state over the RS485 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 LTC1482 is fully specified over the commercial and
industrial temperature ranges and is available in 8-lead
MSOP, PDIP and SO packages.
