LTC1687 52Mbps Precision Delay RS485 Fail-Safe Transceivers

Product Details

The LTC1686/LTC1687 are high speed, precision delay, full-duplex RS485 transceivers that can operate at data rates as high as 52Mbps. The devices also meet the requirements of RS422.

A unique architecture provides very stable propagation delays and low skew over a wide common mode and ambient temperature range.

The driver and receiver feature three-state outputs, with disabled driver outputs maintaining high impedance over the entire common mode range. A short-circuit feature detects shorted outputs and substantially reduces driver output current. A similar feature also protects the receiver output from short circuits. Thermal shutdown circuitry protects from excessive power dissipation.

The receiver has a fail-safe feature that guarantees a high output state when the inputs are shorted or are left floating. The LTC1686/LTC1687 RS485 transceivers guarantee receiver fail-safe operation over the entire common mode range (–7V to 12V). Receiver input resistance remains ≥22k when the device is unpowered or disabled.

The LTC1686/LTC1687 operate from a single 5V supply and draw only 7mA of supply current.
