DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
■
Ultrahigh Speed: 100Mbps
The LTC®1688/LTC1689 are ultrahigh speed, differential
bus/line drivers that can operate at data rates up to
100Mbps. Propagation delay is guaranteed at 8ns ±4ns
over the full operating temperature range. These devices
operate over the full RS485 common mode range (–7V
to 12V), and also meet RS422 requirements.

The driver outputs are Hot Swap capable, maintaining
backplane data integrity during board insertion and
removal. The drivers feature three-state outputs, maintain-
ing high impedance over the entire common mode range
(–7V to 12V). Outputs also remain high impedance during
power-up and with the power off. A short-circuit feature
detects bus contention and substantially reduces driver
output current. Thermal shutdown circuitry protects the
parts from excessive power dissipation.
