DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The LTC®1685 is a high speed, precision delay RS485
transceiverthatcanoperateatdataratesashighas52Mbps.
The device also meets the requirements of RS422.
■
Precision Propagation Delay Over Temperature:
Receiver/Driver: 18.5ns
High Data Rate: 52Mbps
Low tPLH/tPHL Skew:
±3.5ns
■
■
A unique architecture provides very stable propagation
delays and low skew over a wide common mode and
ambient temperature range.
Receiver/Driver: 500ps Typ

■
–7V to 12V RS485 Input Common Mode Range
Guaranteed Fail-Safe Receiver Operation Over the
Entire Common Mode Range
High Receiver Input Resistance: ≥22k, Even When
Unpowered
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.

Single 5V Supply
The receiver has a fail-safe feature that guarantees a high
output state when the inputs are shorted or are left floating.
The LTC1685 RS485 transceiver guarantees receiver fail-
safe operation over the entire common mode range (–7V
to 12V). Input resistance will remain ≥22k when the device
is unpowered or disabled.
