LTC1686/LTC1687 52Mbps Precision Delay RS485 Fail-Safe Transceivers
FEATURES
s s s
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®1686/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.
