external (DE = 0) driver. A weak internal pull-up removes
the need for an external pull-up resistor if fast rise times
are not important. Several LTC1482s can share the same
CD line. CD = 1 forces RO to the high fail-safe state. In
shutdown, CD is three-stated. This pin can be pulled above
V
CC
but should not be taken above 8V to avoid damage.
DE (Pin 3): Driver Enable Input. DE = 0 disables or three-
states the driver outputs. DE = 1 enables the driver outputs
with the high/low state of the outputs set by DI/SHDN.
DI/SHDN (Pin 4): Driver Input and Shutdown Input. It is
used together with the DE pin to put the part in shutdown
PIN FUNCTIONS
UUU
RO (Pin 1): Receiver Output. If a carrier is present (CD low)
and the part is not in shutdown, RO is high if the receiver
input differential voltage (A – B) ≥ V
THRO(MAX)
and low if
(A – B) ≤ V
THRO(MIN)
. RO is forced to high (fail-safe state)
if a carrier is not present (CD = 1). In shutdown, RO is
three-stated. If the driver is enabled, RO follows the logic
level at the driver input.
CD (Pin 2): Open-Drain Carrier Detect Output. Provided
that the part is not in shutdown, the CD output is low if
V
THCD(MIN)
≥ (A – B) ≥ V
THCD(MAX)
and high if V
THCD(MIN)
< (A – B) < V
THCD(MAX)
. This is true regardless of whether
the A and B pins are driven by the internal (DE = 1) or an
