The LTC
®
1480 is an ultralow power differential line trans-
ceiver which provides full RS485 compatibility while oper-
ating from a single 3.3V supply. It is designed for data
transmission standard RS485 applications with extended
common mode range (12V to –7V). It also meets the
requirements of RS422 and features high speed operation
up to 2.5Mb/s. The CMOS design offers significant power
savings without sacrificing ruggedness against overload
or ESD damage. Typical quiescent current is only 300µA
while operating and 1µA in shutdown.
The driver and receiver feature three-state outputs, with
the driver outputs maintaining high impedance over the
entire 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 receiver has a fail-safe
feature which guarantees a high output state when the
inputs are left open.
The LTC1480 is fully specified over the commercial and
extended industrial temperature range. The LTC1480 is
available in 8-pin SO and DIP packages.

RO (Pin 1):
Receiver Output. If the receiver output is
enabled (RE LOW) and A > B by 200mV, then RO will be
HIGH. If A < B by 200mV, then RO will be LOW.
RE (Pin 2):
Receiver Output Enable. A LOW enables the
receiver output, RO. A HIGH input forces the receiver
output into a high impedance state.
DE (Pin 3):
Driver Outputs Enable. A HIGH on DE enables
the driver output. A, B and the chip will function as a line
driver. A low input will force the driver outputs into a high
impedance state and the chip will function as a line
receiver. If RE is high and DE is LOW, the part will enter a
low power (1µA) shutdown state. If RE is low and DE is
high, the driver outputs will be fed back to the receiver and
the receive output will correspond to the driver input.
DI (Pin 4):
Driver Input. If the driver outputs are enabled
(DE HIGH) then a low on DI forces the outputs A LOW and
B HIGH. A HIGH on DI with the driver outputs enabled will
force A HIGH and B LOW.
