The LTC®1344 features six software-selectable
multiprotocol cable terminators. Each terminator can be
configured as an RS422 (V.11) 100Ω minimum differen-
tial load, V.35 T-network load or an open circuit for use
with RS232 (V.28) or RS423 (V.10) transceivers that
provide their own termination. When combined with the
LTC1343, the LTC1344 forms a complete software-selectable multiprotocol serial port. A data bus latch feature
allows sharing of the select lines between multiple interface ports.
The LTC1344 is available in a 24-lead SSOP.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Multiprotocol Cable Termination
One of the most difficult problems facing the designer of
a multiprotocol serial interface is how to allow the transmitters and receivers for different electrical standards to
share connector pins. In some cases the transmitters and
receivers for each interface standard can be simply tied
together and the appropriate circuitry enabled. But the
biggest problem still remains: how to switch the various
cable terminations required by the different standards.
Traditional implementations have included switching resistors with expensive relays or requiring the user to
change termination modules every time the interface
standard has changed. Custom cables have been used
with the termination in the cable head or separate terminations are built on the board, and a custom cable routes the
signals to the appropriate termination. Switching the
terminations using FETs is difficult because the FETs must
remain off even though the signal voltage is beyond the
supply voltage for the FET drivers or the power is off.
The LTC1344 solves the cable termination switching problem via software control. The LTC1344 provides termination for the V.10 (RS423), V.11 (RS422), V.28 (RS232)
and V.35 electrical protocols.
V.10 (RS423) Termination
A typical V.10 unbalanced interface is shown in Figure 4.
A V.10 single-ended generator output A with ground C is
connected to a differential receiver with inputs A' connected to A and input B' connected to the signal return
ground C. The receiver’s ground C' is separate from the
signal return. Usually no cable termination is required for
V.10 interfaces but the receiver inputs must be compliant
with the impedance curve shown in Figure 5.
In V.10 mode, both switches S1 and S2 are turned off so
the only cable termination is the input impedance of the
V.10 receiver.

V.11 (RS422) Termination
A typical V.11 balanced interface is shown in Figure 6. A
V.11 differential generator with outputs A and B with
ground C is connected to a differential receiver with
ground C', inputs A' connected to A, B' connected to B. The
V.11 interface requires a different termination at the re-
ceiver end that has a minimum value of 100Ω. The receiver
inputs must also be compliant with the impedance curve
shown in Figure 7.
In V.11 mode, switch S1 is turned on and S2 is turned off
so the cable is terminated with a 103Ω impedance.

V.28 (RS232) Termination
A typical V.28 unbalanced interface is shown in Figure 8.
A V.28 single-ended generator output A with ground C is
connected to a single-ended receiver with inputs A' connected to A, ground C' connected via the signal return
ground to C. The V.28 standard requires a 5k terminating
resistor to ground which is included in almost all compliant receivers as shown in Figure 9. Because the termination is included in the receiver, both switches S1 and S2 in
the LTC1344 are turned off.
V.35 Termination
A typical V.35 balanced interface is shown in Figure 10. A
V.35 differential generator with outputs A and B with
ground C is connected to a differential receiver with
ground C', inputs A' connected to A, B' connected to B. The
V.35 interface requires a T-network termination at the
receiver end and the generator end. In V.35 mode both
switches S1 and S2 in the LTC1344 are turned on as
shown in Figure 11.
The differential impedance measured at the connector
must be 100Ω ±10Ω and the impedance between shorted
terminals A' and B' to ground C' must be 150Ω ±15Ω. The
input impedance of the V.35 receiver is connected in
parallel with the T-network inside the LTC1344, which can
cause the overall impedance to fail the specification on the

Figure 12. V.35 Driver Using the LTC1344
and B to ground C must be 150Ω ±15Ω. For the generator
termination, switches S1 and S2 are both on and the top
side of the center resistor is brought out to a pin so it can
be bypassed with an external capacitor to reduce common
mode noise as shown in Figure 12.
Any mismatch in the driver rise and fall times or skew in
the driver propagation delays will force current through
the center termination resistor to ground causing a high
frequency common mode spike on the A and B terminals.
The common mode spike can cause EMI problems that are
reduced by capacitor C1 which shunts much of the common mode energy to ground rather than down the cable.
The LATCH Pin

low side. However, all of Linear Technology’s V.35 receivers meet the RS485 input impedance specification as
shown in Figure 11, which insures compliance with the
V.35 specification when used with the LTC1344.
The generator differential impedance must be 50Ω to
150Ω and the impedance between shorted terminals A

The LATCH pin (21) allows the select lines (M0, M1, M2
and DCE/DTE) to be shared with multiple LTC1344s, each
with its own LATCH signal. When the LATCH pin is held
low the select line input buffers are transparent. When the
LATCH pin is pulled high, the select line input buffers latch
the state of the Select pins so that changes on the select
lines are ignored until LATCH is pulled low again. If the
latch feature is not used, the LATCH pin should be tied to
ground.
