DescripTion
The LT®1785/LT1791 are half-duplex and full-duplex differ-
ential bus transceivers for RS485 and RS422 applications
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.
rates to 250kbaud on networks of up to 128 nodes
Data
are supported. Controlled slew rates on the driver out
putscontrol EMI emissions and improve data transmission integrity on improperly terminated lines. Drivers are
specified to operate with inexpensive cables
as low as
72Ω 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 eliminates
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.

LT1785/LT1785A/
LT1791/LT1791A
RO: Receiver Output. TTL level logic output. If the receiver
is active (RE pin low), RO is high if receiver input A ≥ B
by 200mV. If A ≤ B by 200mV, then RO will be low. RO
RE
assumes a high impedance output state when
or the part is powered off. RO is protected from output
shorts from ground to 6V.
RE: Receiver Output Enable. TTL level logic input. A logic
low on RE enables normal operation of the receiver output
RO. A logic high level at RE places the receiver output pin
RO into a high impedance state. If receiver enable RE and
driver enable DE are both in the disable state, the circuit
goes to a low power shutdown state. Placing either RE or
DE into its active state brings the circuit out of shutdown.
Shutdown state is not entered until a 3µs delay after both
RE and DE are disabled, allowing for logic skews in tog
gling between transmit and receive modes of operation.
For CAN bus applications, RE
the circuit from entering shutdown.
DE: Driver Output Enable. TTL level logic input. A logic
high on DE enables normal operation of the driver out
puts (Y and Z on LT1791, A and B on LT1785). A logic
low level at DE places the driver output pins into a high
impedance state. If receiver enable
DE are both in the disable state, the circuit goes to a low
power shutdown state. Placing either RE or DE into its
active state brings the circuit out of shutdown. Shutdown
state is not entered until a 3µs delay after both RE and DE
are disabled, allowing for logic skews in toggling between
transmit and receive modes of operation. For CAN bus
operation the DE pin is used for signal input to place the
data bus in dominant or recessive states.
DI: Driver Input. TTL level logic input. A logic high at DI
causes driver output A or Y to a high state, and output B
or Z to a low state. Complementary output states occur for
DI low. For CAN bus applications DI should be tied low.
GND: Ground.

-
-
Y: Driver Output. The Y driver output is in phase with the
driver input DI. In the LT1785 driver output Y is internally
connected to receiver input A. The driver output assumes
a high impedance state when DE is low, power is off or
thermal shutdown is activated. The driver output is pro
tected from shorts between ±60V in both active and high
impedance modes. For CAN applications, output Y is the
CANL output node.
Z: Driver Output. The Z driver output is opposite in phase
to the driver input DI. In the LT1785 driver output Z is
internally connected to receiver input B. The driver output
assumes a high impedance state when DE is low, power
is off or thermal shutdown is activated. The driver output
is protected from shorts between ±60V in both active and
high impedance modes. For CAN applications, output Z is
the CANH output node.
A: Receiver Input. The A receiver input forces a high receiver
output when V(A) ≥ [V(B) + 200mV]. V(A) ≤ [V(B)– 200mV]
forces a receiver output low. Receiver inputs A and B are
protected against voltage faults between ±60V. The high
input impedance allows up to 128 LT1785 or LT1791
transceivers on one RS485 data bus.
The LT1785A/LT1791A have guaranteed receiver input
thresholds –200mV < V
guaranteed to be in a high state for 0V inputs.
B: Receiver Input. The B receiver input forces a high
receiver output when V(A) ≥ [V(B) + 200mV]. When
V(A) ≤ [V(B) – 200mV], the B receiver forces a receiver
output low. Receiver inputs A and B are protected against
voltage faults between ±60V
allows up to 128 LT1785 or LT1791 transceivers on one
RS485 data bus.
The LT1785A/LT1791A have guaranteed receiver input
thresholds –200mV < VTH < 0. Receiver outputs are
guaranteed to be in a high state for 0V inputs.

Overvoltage Protection
The LT1785/LT1791 RS485/RS422 transceivers answer an
applications need for overvoltage fault tolerance on data
networks. Industrial installations may encounter common
mode voltages between nodes far greater than the –7V to
12V range specified for compliance to RS485 standards.
CMOS RS485 transceivers can be damaged by voltages
above their absolute maximum ratings of typically –8V
to 12.5V. Replacement of standard RS485 transceiver
components with the LT1785 or LT1791 devices eliminates
field failures due to overvoltage faults or the use of costly
external protection devices. The limited overvoltage toler
ance of CMOS RS485 transceivers makes implementation
of effective external protection networks difficult without
interfering with proper data network performance within
the –7V to 12V region of RS485 operation.
The high overvoltage rating of the LT1785/LT1791 facili
tates easy extension to almost any level. Simple discrete
component
driver output voltages to less than ±60V can be added
to the device to extend protection to any desired level.
Figure 11 shows a protection network against faults to
the120VAC line voltage.
The LT1785/LT1791 protection is achieved by using a high
voltage bipolar integrated circuit process for the transceiv
ers. The naturally high breakdown voltages of the bipolar
process provides protection in powered-off and high
impedance
current limit design to protect against overvoltage faults
while still allowing high current output drive.
ESD Protection
The LT1785/LT1791 I/O pins have on-chip ESD protection
circuitry to eliminate field failures caused by discharges to
exposed ports and cables in application environments. The

The driver outputs use a foldback

LT1785 pins A and B and the LT1791 driver output pins Y
and Z are protected to IEC-1000-4-2 level 2. These pins will
survive multiple ESD strikes of ±15kV air discharge or ±4kV
contact discharge. Due to their very high input impedance,
the LT1791 receiver pins are protected to IEC-1000-4-2
level 2, or ±15kV air and ±4kV contact discharges. This
level of ESD protection will guarantee immunity from field
failures in all but the most severe ESD environments. The
LT1791 receiver input ESD tolerance may be increased to
IEC level 4 compliance by adding 2.2k resistors in series
with these pins.
Low Power Shutdown
The LT1785/LT1791 have RE and DE logic inputs to control
the receive and transmit modes of the transceivers. The
RE input allows normal data reception when in the low
state. The receiver output goes to a high impedance state
when RE is high, allowing multiplexing the RO data line.
The DE logic input performs a similar function on the driver
outputs. A high state on DE activates the differential driver
outputs, a low state places both driver outputs in to high
impedance. Tying the RE and DE logic inputs together may
be done to allow one logic signal to toggle the transceiver
from receive to transmit modes. The DE input is used as
the data input in CAN bus applications.
Disabling both the driver and receiver places the device
into a low supply current shutdown mode. An internal
time delay of 3µs minimum prevents entering shutdown
due to small logic skews when a toggle between receive
and transmit is desired. The recovery time from shutdown
mode is typically 12µs. The user must be careful to allow
for this wake-up delay from shutdown mode. To allow full
250kbaud data rate transmission in CAN applications, the
RE pin should be tied low to prevent entering shutdown
mode.

Slew Limiting for EMI Emissions Control
The LT1785/LT1791 feature controlled driver output slew
rates to control high frequency EMI emissions from equip
-
ment and data cables. The slew limiting limits data rate
operation to 250kbaud. Slew limiting also mitigates the
adverse affects of imperfect transmission line termina
-
tion caused by stubs or mismatched cable. In some low
speed, short distance networks, cable termination may
be eliminated completely with no adverse effect on data
transmission.

Data Network Cable Selection and Termination
Long distance data networks operating at high data trans
mission rates should use high quality, low attenuation
cable with well-matched cable terminations. Short distance
networks at low data rates may use much less expensive
P
VC cable. These cables have characteristic impedances
as low as 72Ω. The LT1785/LT1791 output drivers are
guaranteed to drive cables as low as 72Ω.
