DESCRIPTION
The LTC®1518/LTC1519 are high speed, precision delay
differential quad bus/line receivers that can operate at data
rates as high as 52Mbps. They are pin compatible with the
LTC488/LTC489 RS485 line receivers and operate over the
entire – 7V to 12V common mode range. A unique architecture provides very stable propagation delays and low skew
over wide input common mode, input overdrive and ambient temperature ranges. Propagation delay is 18.5ns
±3.5ns. Typical t
PLH/tPHL
500ps.
Each receiver translates differential input levels (VID ≥
300mV) into valid CMOS and TTL output levels. Its high
input resistance (≥22k) allows many receivers to be connected to the same driver. The receiver outputs go into a
high impedance state when disabled.
The receivers have a fail-safe feature that guarantees a high
output state when the inputs are shorted or left floating.
Other protection features include thermal shutdown and a
controlled maximum short-circuit current (50mA Max).
Input resistance remains ≥22k when the device is
unpowered or disabled, thus allowing hot swapping without loading the data lines.
The LTC1518/LTC1519 operate from a single 5V supply
and draw 12mA of supply current.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Theory of Operation
Unlike typical line receivers whose propagation delay can
vary by as much as 500% from package to package and
show significant temperature drift, the LTC1518/LTC1519
employ a novel architecture that produces a tightly controlled and temperature compensated propagation delay.
The differential timing skew is also minimized between
rising and falling output edges, and the propagation delays
of any two receivers within a package are very tightly
matched.
The precision timing features of the LTC1518/LTC1519
reduce overall system timing constraints by providing a
narrow ±3.5ns window during which valid data appears at
the receiver output. This output timing window applies to
all receivers in all packages over all operating temperatures, thereby making the LTC1518/LTC1519 well suited
for high speed data transmission.
In clocked data systems, the low skew minimizes duty
cycle distortion of the clock signal. The LTC1518/LTC1519
can propagate signals at frequencies of 26MHz (52Mbps)
with less than 5% duty cycle distortion. When a clock
signal is used to retime parallel data, the maximum recommended data transmission rate is 25Mbps to avoid timing
errors due to clock distortion.
Thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection prevent
latchup damage to the LTC1518/LTC1519 during fault
conditions.

Fail-Safe Features
The LTC1518/LTC1519 have a fail-safe feature that guarantees the output to be in a logic HIGH state when the
inputs are either shorted or left open (note that when
inputs are left open, any external large leakage current
might override the fail-safe). The fail-safe feature detects
shorted inputs over the entire common mode range. When
a fault is detected, the output will typically go high in 2µs.
When some of the receivers within a package are not
used, the open fail-safe feature will allow the user to let
the receiver inputs float and maintain a high logic state at
the output. Without the open fail-safe feature, any noise
at the input would cause unwanted glitches at the output.
When the inputs are left “open,” one must make sure that
there are no sources of leakage current connected to one
or both of the inputs. This can happen if the device is
being driven single-endedly and both the signal and the
DC bias are disconnected. If the capacitor used to bypass
the DC bias is left connected to the input of the device and
is leaky (>1µA), the output of the device might not be the
desired high logic state. Also keep in mind that the inputs
are high impedance (≥22kΩ). When left open, noisy
traces should be kept away from the receiver inputs to
minimize capacitive coupling of undesired signals. Even
with the open fail-safe feature, for maximum noise
immunity, grounding the negative input of unused receivers is recommended.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
When the inputs are accidentally shorted (by cutting
through a cable, for example), the short-circuit fail-safe
feature will guarantee a high output logic level. Note also
that if the line driver is removed and the termination
resistors are left in place, the receiver will see this as a
“short” and output a logic high.
Both of these fail-safe features will keep the receiver from
outputting false data pulses under fault conditions.
Single-Ended Applications
Over short distances, the LTC1518/LTC1519 can be configured to receive single-ended data by tying one input to
a fixed bias voltage and connecting the other input to the
driver output. In such applications, standard high speed
CMOS logic may be used as a driver for the LTC1518/
LTC1519. With a 22k minimum input resistance, the
receiver trip points may be easily adjusted to accommo-
date different driver output swings by changing the resistor divider at the fixed input. Figure 6a shows a singleended receiver configuration with the driver and receiver
connected via PC traces. Note that at very high speeds,
transmission line and driver ringing effects must be considered. Motorola’s
MECL System Design Handbook
serves
as an excellent reference for transmission line and termination effects. To mitigate transmission errors and duty
cycle distortion due to driver ringing, a small output filter
or a dampening resistor on the driver’s VDD may be needed
as shown in Figure 6b. With an open circuit voltage of 3.3V
at both inputs, the receivers can be used without an
external bias applied to the fixed inputs. The fixed input
should be bypassed with a 0.01µF ceramic capacitor. The
positive input should be driven with a 5V CMOS pat in
order to minimize the skew caused by the 3.3V threshold.
Figure 6c shows this configuration. Note that due to the

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 9 shows a trace with 100ft category 5 UTP between
an LTC1685 driver and an LTC1518 receiver. Notice that at
the far end of the cable, the signal to the LTC1518 input has
been reduced. Figure 10 shows a 52Mbps square wave.
Output Short-Circuit Protection
The LTC1518/LTC1519 employ voltage sensing shortcircuit protection at the output terminals. For a given input
differential, this circuitry determines what the correct

output level should be. For example, if the input differential
is ≥ 300mV, it expects the output to be a logic high. If the
output is subsequently shorted to a voltage below VDD/2,
this circuitry shuts off the output devices and turns on a
smaller device in its place. A timeout period of about 50ns
is used in order to maintain normal high frequency operation, even under heavy capacitive loads (>100mA transient current into the load).
