Low Power RS485 Transceiver
with Carrier Detect and
Receiver Fail-Safe
U
DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LTC®1482 is a low power RS485 compatible trans-
ceiver that offers an active low carrier detect output. The
open-drain carrier detect pin allows several transceivers
to share the same carrier detect line and can be used to
detect the insertion or removal of a driven RS485/RS422
cable.

Enhanced ESD protection allows the LTC1482 to with-
stand ±15kV (human body model), IEC-1000-4-2 level 4
(±8kV) contact and level 3 (±8kV) air discharge ESD
without latchup or damage.

Low Power: ICC = 700µA Max with Driver Disabled
ICC = 900µA Max in Driver Mode Without Load
20µA Max Quiescent Current in Shutdown Mode
Single 5V Supply
–7V to 12V Common Mode Range Permits ±7V
Ground Difference Between Devices on the Data Line
Maximum Data Rate of 4Mbps
The LTC1482 receiver stays alive at all times except in
shutdown. The supply current is a maximum of 700µA
and 900µA when the driver is disabled and enabled
respectively. In shutdown, the quiescent current of the
LTC1482 drops to a maximum of 20µA.

Power Up/Down Glitch-Free Driver Outputs
Up to 32 Transceivers on the Bus
Available in 8-Lead MSOP, PDIP and SO Packages
When the driver is disabled or the LTC1482 is in shut-
down, the driver outputs are three-stated and remain in
a high impedance state over the RS485 common mode
range.
U
APPLICATIO S
Excessivepowerdissipationcausedbybuscontentionor
faults is prevented by a thermal shutdown circuit, which
forces the driver outputs into a high impedance state.
