INTRODUCTION
In the 1993 Data Transmission Circuits Data Book, the Linear Products Division of Texas instruments
presents technical information on various products for electronic media and electronic devices.
The Texas Instruments data transmission circuits represent technologies from classic bipolar through
Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS), IMPACTTM, LinBiCMOS™, CMOS, and BiMOS processes. The ALS
and IMPACT oxide-isolated technologies provide the data transmission family with improved speed-power
characteristics. LinBiCMOS technology features a step-function improvement in impedance, speed, power
dissipation, and threshold stability.
This data book provides information on the following types of products:
•

Data line drivers

•

Data line receivers

•

Data line transceivers

• Asynchronous communication elements (UARTs)
The data transmission line drivers, receivers, and transceivers, which support many popular data
transmission standards, can connect electronic devices and systems at high data rates over significant cable
lengths. The UARTs can control the sending and receipt of data through serial asynchronous data links.
Among new products offered by TI in the 1993 Data Transmission Circuits Data Book are numerous
LinBiCMOS circuits for EIA RS-485, EIA-232, and IEEE 802.3 10BaseTdata transmission standardS. New
packaging includes the shrink sman-outline package (SSOP and DB) as well as surface-mount packages for
popular mature products.
The data book is organized for quick location of a data sheet. The sequence is alphanumeric except for the
SN prefixed parts; these data sheets are in base part number order, i.e., SN75ALS176 is located next to the
SN75176B. The alphanumeric index provides a quick method of locating the data sheet for a known part
number and indicates new products in this edition. The selection guide is grouped by industry standard and
includes key features and the standard device footprint of the products in each category. The cross-reference
guide lists other manufacturers' devices with the suggested TI replacement. Ordering information and
mechanical data are in the last section of the data book.

An applications section has been added in this edition of the data book. This section is a reprint of material
developed for the popular Linear Applications seminar series presented around the world. In this section are
answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding data line circuits and applications.
While this data book offers design and speCification data only for data transmission products, complete
technical data for any TI semiconductor product is available from your nearest TI Field Sales Office, local
authorized TI distributor, or by writing directly to:

The AM26C31C and AM26C311 are quadruple
complementary-output line drivers designed to
H =high level
meet the requirements of EIA Standard RS-422-A
L= low level
and CCITT V.11. The 3-state outputs have highcurrent capability for driving balanced lines such as twisted-pair or parallel-wire transmission lines, and they
provide a high-impedance state in the power-off condition. The enable function is common to all four drivers and
offers the choice of an active-high or active-low enable input. BiCMOS circuitry reduces power consumption
without sacrificing speed.
The AM26C31C is characterized for operation from O·C to 70·C, and the AM26C31I is characterized for
operation from -40·C to 8S·C.

description
The AM26C32C and AM26C321 are quadruple differential line receivers for balanced and unbalanced digital
data transmission. The enable function is common to all four receivers and offers a choice of active-high or
active-low input. Three-state outputs permit connection directly to a bus-organized system. Fail-safe design
ensures that if the inputs are open, the outputs will always be high.
The AM26C32 is manufactured using a BiCMOS process, which is a combination of bipolar and CMOS
transistors. This process provides the high voltage and current of bipolar with the low power of CMOS to reduce
the power consumption to about one-fifth that of the standard AM26LS32 while still maintaining ac and dc
performance.
The AM26C32C is characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C, and the AM26C321 is characterized from
.

-40 °C to 85°C.

description
The AM26LS31 C is a quad complementaryoutput line driver designed to meet the
requirements of EIA Standard RS-422-A Federal
Standard 1020. The 3-state outputs have
high-current capability for driving balanced lines
such as twisted-pair or parallel-wire transmission
lines, and they provide a high-impedance state in
the power-off condition. The enable function is
common to all four drivers and offers the choice of
an active-high or active-low enable input.
Low-power Schottky circuitry reduces power
consumption without sacrificing speed.

description

Compared to the AM26LS32 and the AM26LS33,
the AM26LS32A and AM26LS33A incorporate an
additional stage of amplilfication to improve
sensitivity. The input impedance has been
increased resulting in less loading of the bus line.
The additional stage has increased propagation
delay; however, this will not affect interchangeability in most applications.

3 2

1Y

The AM26LS32A and AM26LS33A are quad line
receivers for balanced and unbalanced digital
data transmission. The enable function is
common to all four receivers and offers a choice
of active-high or active-low input. The 3-state
outputs permit connection direct to a busorganized system. Fail-safe design ensures that if
the inputs are open, the outputs will always be
high.

description
The AM26S10C and AM26S11 C are quadruple bus transceivers utilizing Schottky-diode-clamped transistors
for high speed. The drivers feature open-collector outputs capable of sinking 100 rnA at 0.8 V maximum. The
driver and strobe inputs use pnp transistors to reduce the input loading.
The driver of the AM26S10C is inverting; the driver of the AM26S11 C is non inverting. Each device has two
ground connections for improved ground current-handling capability. For proper operation, the ground pins
should be tied together.
The AM26S1 OC and AM26S11 C are characterized for operation over the temperature range of O·C to 70·C.

description
The LT1 030C is an EIA-232 line driver that
operates over a ±5-V to ± 15-V supply voltage
range on low supply current. The device can be
shut down to zero supply current. Current limiting
fully protects the outputs from externally-applied
voltages of ±30 V. Since the output swings to
within 200 mV of the positive supply and to within
1 V of the negative supply, supply voltage
requirements are minimized.

A major advantage of the LT1030C is the
high-impedance output state when the device is
off or powered down. This feature allows several
different drivers on the same bus.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

forward biasing the substrate

Mwith other bipolar integrated circuits. forward biasing the substrate diode can cause problems. The LT1 030C
will draw high current from VCC+ to GND if VCC- is open circuited or pulled above ground. If this is possible.
connecting a diode from VCC- to GND will prevent the high-currentstate. Any low-cost diode can be used (see
Figure 11).

outputs are fully protected against an overload or short to ground. A major advantage of the LT1039 is
high-impedance output states when the device is off or powered down. This feature allows several different
devices to be connected together on the same bus.
The bias pin provides a receiver to be kept alive when the LT1039 is shutdown (ON/OFF = lOw).
The LT1039 is characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C.

SLLS05OA- 03121, SEPTEMBER 1989 - REVISED FEBRUARY 1991

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The driver output stage of the LT1080 offers significantly improved protection over older bipolar and CMOS designs
(see Figures 13 and 14). In addition to limiting current, the driver output can be externally forced to:3O V without
damage, excessive current flow, or supply disruption. Some drivers have diodes connected between the outputs and
the supplies, allowing externally applied voltages to cause excessive supply voltage to deVelop.

,and CMOS Drivers

Placing the LT1080 in the shutdown mode (pin 18 low) puts both the driver and receiver outputs in a high-impedance
state. This allows for bus operation and transceiver applications (see Figures 15-17). The shutdown mode also drops
input supply current (Vee> to near zero for power-conscious systems.

Figure 17. Transceiver
To protect against receiver input overloads in excess of :1:30 V, a voltage clamp can be placed on the data line and
still maintain EIA-232 compatibility (see Figure 18).
When driving CMOS logic from a receiver that will be used in the shutdown mode and when there is no other active
receiver on the line, a 51-kQ resistor can be placed from the logic input to Vee to force a definite logic level when the
receiver output is in a high-impedance state (see Figure 19).
The generated driver supplies (Vs+ and Vs-) may be used to power external circuitry such as other EIA-232 drivers
or operational amplifiers (see Figure 20). They should be loaded with care, since excessive loading can cause the
generated supply voltages to drop, causing the EIA-232 driver output voltages to fall below EIA-232 requirements.
See Figure 5 for a comparison of generated supply voltage versus supply current.

description
The MAX232 is a dual driver/receiver that
includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply
EIA-232 voltage levels from a single 5-V supply.
Each receiver converts EIA-232 inputs to 5-V
TTLJCMOS levels. These receivers have a typical
threshold of 1.3 V and a typical hysteresis of
0.5 V, and can accept ±30-V inputs. Each driver
converts TTLJCMOS input levels into EIA-232
levels. The driver, receiver, and voltage-generator
functions are available as cells in the Texas
Instruments LinASICTM library.

The MC3450, MC3550, MC3452, and MC3552
are quad differential line receivers designed for
use in balanced and unbalanced digital data
transmission. The MC34/3550 and MC34/3552
are the same except that the MC3450 and
MC3550 have 3-state outputs whereas the
MC3452 and MC3552 have open-collector
outputs, which permit the wire-AND function with
similar output devices. The 3-state and opencollector outputs permit connection directly to a

description
The MC3453 and MC3553 feature four line drivers
with a common-enable input. When the ENABLE
input is high, a constant output current is switched
between each pair of output terminals in response
to the logic level at that channel input. When the
ENABLE is low, all channel outputs are
nonconductive (transistors biased to cutoff). This
minimizes loading in party-line systems where a
large number of drivers share the same line.

The driver outputs have a common-mode voltage
range of -3 V to 10 V, allowing common-mode
voltages on the line without affecting driver
performance.

FUNCTION TABLE

All outputs should be maintained within the
recommended common-mode output voltage
range to ensure that the channels do not interact
with each other. To minimize power dissipation, all
unused outputs should be grounded.

All inputs are diode clamped and are designed to satisfy TTL-system requirements. The inputs are tested at 2 V
for high-logic-level input conditions and 0.8 V for low-logic-level input conditions. These tests ensure 400 mV
of noise margin when interfaced with Series 54f74 TTL.
The MC3453 is characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C. The MC3553 is characterized for operation over
the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

The SN75ALS053 is a four-channel, monolithic,
high-speed, advanced low-power Schottky device
v v wlw 0
OII:I-II:Z
designed for two-way data communication in a
~
densely populated backplane. The SN75ALS053
~
has independent driver input (On) and receiver
CD
output (Rn) pins and separate driver and receiver
disables. This transceiver is designed for use in high-speed bus systems and is similar to the SN75ALS057
transceiver except that the trapezoidal feature has been eliminated to speed up the propagation delays.
These transceivers feature open-collector driver outputs, each with a series Schottky diode to reduce capacitive
loading to the bus. By using a 2-V pullup on the bus, the output signal swing will be approximately 1 V, which
reduces the power necessary to drive the bus load capacitance. The driver outputs are capable of driving an
equivalent dc load of as low as 10 g.
The receivers have a precision threshold set by an internal bandgap reference to give accurate input thresholds
over VCC and temperature variations.
These transceivers are compatible with Backplane Transceiver Logic (BTLTM) technology at significantly
reduced power dissipation per channel.
The SN75ALS053 is characterized for operation from O· to 70·C.

BTL is a trademark of National Semiconductor Corporation.

tThls condition is valid during the time period set by DRDLAJ following a rising transition on DRI. Following this, if no
subsequent positive transition occurs on DRI, the outputs will go to the high-Impedance state.
:I: This condition is valid if it occurs within the enable time set by DRDLAJ after a rising transition on DRI. Otherwise, the
outputs will be In the high-impedance state.
§ Pins 9 and 10 are tied together.

description
The SN75061 is a single-channel driver/receiver pair designed for use in IEEE 802.3, 1BASE5 applications as
well as other general data communications circuits. The SN75061 offers the system designer both a driver and
a receiver that are easily configured for use with a variety of controllers and data encoder/decoders.
The receiver features a full analog squelch circuit with an adjustable threshold and a programmable squelch
delay. Internal nodes of the squelch circuitry are brought out to external connections to allow for the insertion
of noise filtering circuitry of the designer'S choice.
As with the receiver, the driver offers a variety of implementation options. Driver enabling may be controlled
directly by an external logic input or by use of an on-Chip one-shot that is retriggered as long as data is being
sent to the driver. The driver will then automatically go to the high-impedance state when end-of-packet occurs.
The driver features internal slew-rate control for optimal matching of rise and tall times allowing for reduction
of driver-induced jitter.

receiver
The SN75061 receiver implements full analog squelch functions by integrating both a separate, parallel squelch
receiver with an externally programmable threshold, and a programmable one-shot. The output of the squelch
receiver and the input to the high-level dc-triggered one-shot are brought out to external connections. These
pins can be shorted for direct implementation or used for the insertion of noise-filtering circuitry of the
implementer's design. The receiver one-shot can be effectively bypassed by applying a high logic level to
SQDU. The squelch threshold may be set externally by applying an external voltage setto a levelthat is-2 times
the desired threshold voltage. If SQTHAJ is left open, the squelch receiver will default to its internal preset value
of -600 mV. The receiver also outputs a high logic squelch signal when there is no active data present at the
receiver inputs. When no data is present on the transmission line, the receiver output assumes a high level. The
unsquelch duration is set externally with an R-C cOmbination at SQDLAJ.
driver
The driver offers a variety of implementation options. Driver enabling may be controlled directly by an active-low
external logic input on DATEN or by use of another on-Chip one-shot that retriggers with positive-going
transitions on the driver input line. If no positive transition occurs within the pulse duration set by an external
R-C combination, the one-shot times out and the driver is automatically put into a high-impedance state. When
operating in the delay-enable mode, the 2-bit-time high-level start-of-idle pulse prescribed by IEEE 802.3
1BASES causes the one-shot to time out and automatically place the driver outputs in the high-impedance state.
This delay time is also adjustable for use in other applications. The driver implements an output slew-rate control
that is internally set for nominally 40 mV/ns. (This is roughly a 100-ns peak-to-peak differential transition time.)
The driver outputs are capable of driving a 50-0 differential load with a minimum output level of 2 V. Short-circuit
output current is greater than 100 rnA.

DESCRIPTION

NAME

NO.

DATEN

15

Driver data enable. When low, driver outputs are In an active state. When high, the driver outputs are In a high-impedance
state if i5[Ejij Is also high.

OLEN

13

Driver delay enable. When this signal is low and DATEN is high, the driver outputs are active for a period of time set by
OROLAJ after a posHlve-going transition on ORI. Ifthere is no active data on ORI, the outputs are in a high-Impedance state.

Driver delay adjust is a connection for the external R-C combination that determines the duration of the driver output active
state after a positive transition on ORI when OLEN is low and DATEN is high.

The SN65076B and SN75076B combine a differential line driver and a differential input line receiver, both of
which operate from a single 5-V power supply. The receiver has an active-low enable. The driver differential
outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected internally to form differential input/output (110) bus
ports that are designed to offer minimum loading to the bus whenever the driver is disabled or
Vee = O. These ports feature wide positive and negative common-mode voltage ranges making the device

description
The SN75ALS085 is a monolithic, high-speed, advanced low-power Schottky, dual-channel driver/receiver
device designed for use in the AUI of ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3-1988. The two drivers on the device drive a 78-0
balanced, terminated twisted-pair transmission line up to a maximum length of 50 meters. In the off (idle) state,
the drivers maintain minimal differential output voltage on the twisted-pair line and, at the same time, remain
within the required output common-mode range.
With the driver enable (TXEN) high, upon receiving the first falling edge into the driver input, the differential
outputs will rise to full-amplitude output levels within 25 ns. The output amplitude is maintained for the remainder
of the packet. After the last positive packet edge is transmitted into the driver, the driver will maintain a minimum
of 70% full differential output for a minimum of 200 ns, then decay down to a minimum level for the reset (idle)
condition within 8 lIS. Disabling the driver by taking the driver enable low will also force the output into the idle
condition after the normalS-lIS timeout. While operating, the driver is able to withstand a set of fault conditions
and not suffer damage due to the faults being applied. The drivers power up in the idle state to ensure that no
activity is placed on the twisted-pair cable that could be interpreted as network traffic.
The line receiver squelch function interfaces to a differential twisted-pair line terminated external to the device.
The receiver squelch circuit allows differential receive signals to pass through as long as the input amplitude
and pulse duration are greater than the minimum squelch threshold. This ensures a good signal-to-noise ratio
while the data path is active and prevents system noise from causing false data transitions during line shutdown
and line-idle conditions. The AXO outputs default to a high level and the RXEN outputs default to a low level
while the squelch function is blocking the data path through the receiver (idle). The line receiver squelch will
become active within 50 ns when the input squelch threshold is exceeded. RXEN will be driven high when the
squelch circuit is allowing data to pass through the receiver. The receiver squelch circuit can also withstand a
set of fault conditions while operating without causing permanent damage to the device.

description (continued)
The purpose of the loop functio.ns is to provide a means bywhich system data path verification can be done to
isolate faulty interfaces and assist in network diagnosis. The LOOP pins are TTL compatible and must beheld
high for normal operation. When LOOP1 is taken low, the output of driver 1 (TX01) immediately goes into the
idle state. Also, the input to receiver 1 is ignored and a path from TXI1 toRX01 is established. When LOOP1
is taken back high, driver 1 and receiver 1 revert back to their normal operation. When LOOP2 is taken low, a
similar data path is established between TXI1 and RX02. TXEN1 must be high for the loop functions to operate.
and TXEN1 can be used to gate the loop function if desired. During loop operation, the respective receiver
enable output (RXEN) will reflect the status of TXEN1.

description
The SN75LBC086 is a single-channel differential driver/receiver interface device for the medium attachment
unit (MAU) used in 10-MHz twisted-pair Ethernet applications. The device uses a 5-V supply and is designed
to interface with two pairs of telephone-grade twisted-pair cables coupled through isolation transformers. The
functional components of the device include a differential receiver and driver, receiver squelch with noise filter,
jabber controls, collision detection, data link monitor, and signal quality error (SOE) testing. The LinBiCMOS™
process technology is used in the device design to ensure analog precision, low power, and high-speed
operation.
The device contains an elaborate receiver-squelch circuitt that provides an improved level of noise rejection
by qualifying the incoming Signal stream with three different criteria. First, the signal is compared to a set
threshold voltage level. Then, the pulse duration is compared to a set time window. Last, the signal must follow
a set pattern of positive and negative pulses before the circuit finally opens the receiver channel to the incoming
data packet.
The jabber control is designed to prevent a defective controller from locking up the network by limiting the data
packet transmission time to 20 to 30 ms. When a packet length exceeds 20 to 30 ms, the driver is turned off for
about 600 ms. The driver-enable input must be made inactive by the controller during this period before the
jabber control will release the driver. The JABB output is active (high) when a jabber condition exists.
Collision detection is used to arbitrate access to the multiuser network. This detection is done logically by
monitoring the receive line for a valid signal during a driver transmission. When a collision is detected, this device
informs the controller with an active-high CTL output. After a valid packet transm ission, the device also performs
a signal quality error test causing the CTL output to go active (high). This test is disabled when the SOEEN input
goes inactive (high).
The device tests data-link integrity during the idle state by periodically driving the driver line with a unipolar pulse
called a link-test pulse. The receiver looks for this link-test pulse on the receive line. A failed line link is indicated
by a high-impedance state at the LINK output. This output drives an LED for monitoring if needed.

Full-duplex mode. When active (low), the device is placed in the full-duplex operating mode for simple
point-to-point communication applications. In the full-duplex mode, the receiver and driver are both
active with collision detection disabled. After LOOP and FULLD go active Qow), In that order, a device
reset is initiated and while both are active Qow), test select data Is clocked into the test register using
a l00-ns clock at the XI Input. This terminal Is held Inactive (high) due to an Internal pullup resistor.
Logic grounds. These terminals provide a ground return for the CMOS core logic.
Power ground. This provides a ground return for the input and output buffers, driver (transmitter), and
receiver circuits.
Jabber control. When a jabber condition exists during normal mode operation, this signal goes active
(high) to report jabber-control status to the controller. In the test mode, this provides a multiplexed signal
for internal timer and counter functions.
Link status. This 3-state output indicates the status of the receiver and interface link. When driving an
LED (with anode to resistor to VCC) , a high-impedance level indicates a failed link and the LED Is off.
A momentary high level indicates the device is receiving valid data and the LED is blinking on and off.
A continuous low level indicates the device is receiving valid link pulses but no data, and the LED Is on.
Loop-back mode. When the device is in the normal operating mode (not test mode) and LOOP is active
(low), the driver (transmit) data is directed to the receive data path to put the device In the loop-back
modeand the driver Is turned off. After LOOP and FULLD go active Qow), in that order, a device reset
is initiated and while both are active (low), test select data Is clocked into the test register using a 100-ns
clock at the XI input. This terminal is held inactive (high) due to an internal pullup resistor.
Differential receiver inputs
Receiver squelch status. This provides squelch status information to the controller. When active (high),
this signal indicates that the data path is valid or open from the receive channel through the device. An
inactive Qow) indicates that the receive channel is squelched or closed. This signal is capable ofdrlvlng
an LED monitor.

Transmitter (driver) enable. When TXEN is active (high), serial data at the TXDATA inputs starts and
stops the driver. When TXEN is inactive (low), the driver begins transmitting an idle signal Independent
of the TXDATA inputs.

These circuits are TTL-compatible high-speed
line receivers. Each is a monolithic dual circuit
featuring two independent channels. They are
designed for general use as well as such specific
applications as data comparators and balanced,
unbalanced, and party-line transmission systems.
These devices are unilaterally interchangeable
with and are replacements for the SN551 07.
SN551 08, SN751 07. and SN751 08. but offer
diode-clamped strobe inputs to simplify circuit
design.

THE SN75108B IS NOT
RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN

The essential difference between the A and B
versions can be seen in the schematics. Inputprotection diodes are in series with the collectors of the differential-input transistors of the B versions. These
diodes are useful in certain party-line systems that may have multiple VCC+ power supplies and may be operated
with some ofthe VCC + supplies turned off. In such a system, if a supply is turned off and allowed to go to ground,
the equivalent input circuit connected to that supply would be as follows:

This would be a problem in specific systems that might possibly have the transmission lines biased to some
potential greater than 1.4 V.
The SN55107A, SN55107B, SN55108A, and SN55108B are characterized for operation over the full military
temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN75107A, SN75107B. SN75108A, and SN75108B are
characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

basic balanced-line transmission system
The '107A, '1078, '108A, and '1088 dual line circuits are designed specifically for use in high-speed data
transmission systems that utilize balanced, terminated transmission lines such as twisted-pair lines. The system
operates in the balanced mode, so noise induced on one line is also induced on the other. The noise appears
common mode atthe receiver inputterminals where it is rejected. The ground connection between the line driver
and receiver is not part of the signal circuit so that system performance is not affected by circulating ground
currents.
The unique driver-output circuit allows terminated transmission lines to be driven at normal line impedances.
High-speed system operation is ensured since line reflections are virtually eliminated when terminated lines are
used. Crosstalk is minimized by low signal amplitudes and low line impedances.
The typical data delay in a system is approximately 30 + 1.3 L ns, where L is the distance in feet separating the
driver and receiver. This delay includes one gate delay in bOth the driver and receiver.
Data is impressed on the balanced-line system by unbalancing the line voltages with the driver output current.
The driven line is selected by appropriate driver-input logic levels. The voltage difference is approximately:
VDIFF -1/2I O(on) • Rr

High series line resistance will cause degradation of the signal. The receivers, however, will detect signals as
low as 25 mV (or less). For normal line resistances, data may be recovered from lines of several thousand feet
in length.
Line-termination resistors (Rr) are required only at the extreme ends of the line. For short lines, termination
resistors at the receiver only may prove adequate. The signal amplitude will then be approximately:
VDIFF - 10(on) • Rr

data-bus or party-line system
The strobe feature of the receivers and the inhibit feature of the drivers allow these dual line circuits to be used
in data-bus or party-line systems. In these applications, several drivers and receivers may share a common
transmission line. An enabled driver transmits data to all enabled receivers on the line while other drivers and
receivers are disabled. Data is thus time multiplexed on the transmission line. The device specifications allow
widely varying thermal and electrical environments at the various driver and receiver locations. The data-bus
system offers maximum performance at minimum cost.

unbalanced or single-line systems
These dual-line circuits may also be used in unbalanced or single-line systems. Although these systems do not
offer the same performance as balanced systems for long lines, they are adequate for very short lines where
environmental noise is not severe.
The receiver threshold level is established by applying a dc reference voltage to one receiver input terminal.
The signal from the transmission line is applied to the remaining input. The reference voltage should be
optimized so that signal swing is symmetrical about it for maximum noise margin. The reference voltage should
be in the range of -3 V to 3 V. It can be provided by a voltage supply or by a voltage divider from an available
supply voltage.
A single-ended output from a driver may be used in single-line systems. Coaxial or shielded line is preferred
for minimum noise and crosstalk problems. For large signal swings, the high output current (typically 27 mAl
of the SN75112 is recommended. Drivers may be paralleled for higher current. When using only one channel
of the line drivers, the other channel should be inhibited and/or have its outputs grounded.

increasing common-mode input voltage range
of receiver
The common-mode voltage range or CMVR is
Figure 13. Dot-AND Connection
defined as -the range of voltage applied
simultaneously to both input terminals that if exceeded does not allow normal operation of the receiver.
The recommended operating CMVR is ±3 V, making it useful in all but the noisiest environments. In extremely
noisy environments, common-mode voltage can easily reach ± 10 V tO:t 15 V if some precautions are not taken
to reduce ground and power supply noise, as well as crosstalk problems. When the receiver must operate in
such conditions, input attenuators should be used to decrease the system common-mode noise to a tolerable
level at the receiver inputs. Differential noise is also reduced by the same ratio. These attenuators have been
intentionally omitted from the receiver inputterminals sothe designermayselect resistors that will be compatible
with his particular application or environment. Furthermore, the use of attenuators adversely affects the input
sensitivity, the propagation delay time, the power dissipation, and in some cases (depending on the selected
resistor values) the input impedance, therefore reducing the versatility of the receiver.
The ability of the receiver to operate with
approximately ± 15 V common-mode voltage at
the inputs has been checked using the circuit
shown in Figure 14. The resistors R1 and R2
provide a voltage divider network. Dividers with
three different values presenting a 5-to-1
attenuation were used so as to operate the
differential inputs at approximately ± 3 V commonmode voltage. Careful matching of the two
attenuators is needed so as to balance the
overdrive at the input stage. The resistors used
are shown in Table 1.

furnace control using the SN7510BA
The furnace control circuit in Figure 17 is an example ofthe possible use ofthe SN551 07A Series in areas other
than what would normally be considered electronic systems. Basically, the operation ofthis control is as follows.
When the room temperature is below the desired level, the resistance of the room temperature sensor is high
and channel 1 non inverting input is below (less positive than) the reference level set on the input differential
amplifier. This situation causes a low output, operating the heat on relay and turning on the heat. The channel 2
non inverting input is below the reference level when the bonnet temperature of the furnace reaches the desired
level. This causes a low output thus operating the blower relay. Normally the furnace is shut down when the room
temperature reaches the desired level and the channel 1 output goes high, turning the heat off. The blower
remains on as long as the bonnet temperature is high, even after the heat on relay is off, There is also a safety
switch in the bonnet that shuts the furnace down if the temperature there exceeds desired limitations, The types
of temperature-sensing devices and bias-resistor values used are determined by the particular operating
conditions encountered.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

repeaters for long lines
In some cases, the driven line may be so long that the noise level on the line reaches the common-mode limits
or the attenuation becomes too large and results in poor reception. In such a case, a simple application of a
receiver and a driver as repeaters [shown in Figure 18(a)] restores the signal level and allows an adequate signal
level atthe receiving end. If multichannel operation is desired, then proper gating for each channel must be sent
through the repeater station using another repeater set as in Figure 18(b).

receiver as dual differential comparator
There are many applications for differential comparators, such as voltage comparison, threshold detection,
controlled Schmitt triggering, and pulse-width control.
As a differential comparator, a '107A or '108A may,be connected so as to compare the noninverting input
terminal with the inverting input as shown in Figure 19. Thus the output will be high or low resulting from the A
input being greater or less than the reference. The strobe inputs allow additional control over the circuit so that
either output or both may be inhibited.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

temperature controller with zero-voltage switching
The circuit in Figure 21 switches an electric-resistive heater on or off by providing negative-going pulses to the
gate of a triac during the time interval when the line voltage is passing through zero. The pulse generator is the
2N5447 and four diodes. This portion of the circuit provides negative-going pulses during the short time
(approximately 100 fAS) when the line voltage Is near zero. These pulses are fed to the inverting input of one
channel ofthe '1 08A. Ifthe room temperature is below the desired level, the resistance ofthe thermistor is high
and the noninverting input of channel 2 is above the reference level determined by the thermostat setting. This
provides a high-level output from channel 2. This output is ANDed with the positive-going pulses from the output
of channel 1, which are reinverted in the 2N5449.

SN75109A,
SN75110A, and SN75112 dual line drivers have
improved output current regulation with supply
voltage and temperature variations. In addition,
the higher current of the SN75112 (27 rnA) allows
data to be transmitted over longer lines. These
drivers offer optimum performance when used
with the SN55107A, SN55108A, SN75107A, and
SN75108A line receivers.

These drivers feature independent channels with
common voltage supply and ground terminals.
THE SN75109A IS NOT
The significant difference between the three
RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN
drivers is in the output current specification. The
driver circuits feature a constant output current that is switched to either of two output terminals by the
appropriate logic levels at the input terminals. The output current can be switched off (inhibited) by low logic
levels on the enable inputs. The output current is nominally 6 rnA for the '1 09A, 12 rnA for the '11 OA, and 27 rnA
for the SN75112.
The enable/inhibit feature is provided so the circuits can be used in party-line or data-bus applications. A strobe
or inhibitor (enable D), common to both drivers, is included for increased driver-logic versatility. The output
current in the inhibited mode, IO(o!f)' is specified so that minimum line loading is induced when the driver is used
in a party-line system with other drivers. The output impedance of the driver in the inhibited mode is very high.
The output impedance of a transistor is biased to cutoff.

The driver outputs have a common-mode voltage range of -3 V to 10 V, allowing common-mode voltage on
the line without affecting driver performance.
All inputs are diode clamped and are designed to satisfy TTL-system requirements. The inputs are tested at
2 V for high-logic-level input conditions and 0.8 V for low-logic-level input conditions. These tests ensure
400-mV noise margin when interfaced with TTL Series 54f74.
The SN551 09A and SN5511 OA are characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of- 55°C
to 125°C. The SN751 09A, SN7511 OA, and SN75112 are characterized for operation from QOC to 70°C.

The SN55113 and SN75113 dual differential line
15 2YP
drivers with 3-state outputs are designed to

1B
9 10 11 12 13
provide all the features of the SN55114 and
SN75114 line drivers with the added feature of
00000
driver output controls. Individual controls are
~zzOC\l
(!)
provided for each output pair, as well as a common
control for both output pairs. If any output is low,
NC - No internal connection
the associated output is in a high-impedance state
and the output can neither drive nor load the bus.
This permits many devices to be connected together on the same transmission line for party-line applications.
The output stages are similar to TIL totem-pole outputs, but with the sink outputs, YS and ZS, and the
corresponding active pullup terminals, YP and ZP, available on adjacent package pins.
The SN55113 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The
SN75113 is characterized for operation over the temperature range of O°C to 70°C.

The SN55114 and SN75114 dual differential line
drivers are designed to provide differential output
Signals with the high-current capability for driving
balanced lines, such as twisted pair, at normal line
impedances without high power dissipation. The
output stages are similar to TTL totem-pole
outputs, but with the sink outputs, YS and ZS, and
the corresponding active pullup terminals, YP and
ZP, available on adjacent package pins. Since the
output stages provide, TTL-compatible output
levels, these devices may also be used as TTL
expanders or phase splitters.

• Designed for Use With SN55113, SN75113,

The SN55115 and SN75115 dual differential line
receivers are designed to sense small differential
signals in the presence of large common-mode
noise. These devices give TTL-compatible output
signals as a function of the differential input
voltage. The open-collector output configuration
permits the wire-ANDing of similar TTL outputs
(such as SN5401/SN7401) or other SN55115/
SN75115 line receivers. This permits a level of
logic to be implemented without extra delay. The
output stages are similar to TTL totem-pole
outputs, but with sink outputs, 1YS and 2YS, and
the corresponding active pullup terminals, 1YP
and 2YP, available on adjacent package pins. The
frequency response and noise immunity may be
provided by a single external capacitor. A strobe
input is provided for each channel. With the strobe
in the low level, the receiver is disabled and the
outputs are forced to a high level.

The SN55121 and SN75121 dual line drivers are
designed for digital data transmission over lines
having impedances from 50 to 500 O. They are
also compatible with standard TTL logic and
supply voltage levels.

The low-impedance emitter-follower outputs of
the SN55121 and SN75121 will drive terminated
lines such as coaxial cable or twisted pairs.
Having the outputs uncommitted allows wired-OR
logic to be performed in party-line applications.
Output short-circuit protection is provided by an
internal clamping network that turns on when the
output voltage drops below approximately
1.5 V. All of the inputs are in conventional TTL
configuration and the gating can be used during
power-up and power-down sequences to ensure
that no noise is introduced to the line.
The SN55121 is characterized for operation over
the full military temperature range of -55°C to
125°C. The SN75121 is characterized for
operation from O°C to 70°C.

THE N8T14 AND SN75122 ARE NOT
RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN

The N8T14, SN55122, and SN75122 have receiver inputs with built-in hysteresis to provide increased noise
margin for single-ended systems. The high impedance of this input presents a minimum load to the driver and
allows termination of the transmission line in its characteristic impedance to minimize line reflection. An open
line will affect the receiver input as would a low-Iavel voltage. The receiver can withstand a level of -0.15 V with
power on or off. The other inputs are in TTL configuration. The S input must be high to enable the receiver input.
Two of the line receivers have A and B inputs ~hat, if both are high, will hold the output low. The third receiver
has only an A input that, if high, will hold the output low.
The SN55122 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125·C. The
N8T14 and SN75122 are characterized for operation from O·C to 70·C.

description
The N8T13. N8T23. and SN75123 are dual line
drivers specifically
designed to meet the
input/output interface specifications for IBM
System 360. It is also compatible with standard
TTL logic and supply voltage levels.
The low-impedance emitter-follower outputs of
the N8T13, N8T23, and SN75123 will drive
terminated lines such as coaxial cable or twisted
pair. Having the outputs uncommitted allows
wired-OR logic to be performed in party-line
applications. Output short-circuit protection is
provided by an internal clamping network that
turns on when the output voltage drops belOW
approximately 1.5 V. All the inputs are in
conventional TTL configuration and the gating can
be used during power-up and power-down
sequences to ensure that no noise is introduced to
the line.

The SN75ALS123 dual line driver is specifically
designed to meet the input interface specifications
for the IBM System 360. It is compatible with
standard TTL logic and supply voltage levels. The
low-impedance, emitter-follower outputs drive
terminated lines such as coaxial cable, strip line,
or twisted pair. The uncommitted output allows
wired-OR logic to be performed in party-line
applications. Output short-circuit protection is
provided by an internal clamping network that
turns on when the output voltage drops below
approximately 1.5 V. All inputs are in conventional
TTL configuration. Gating can be used during
power-up and power-down sequences to ensure
that no noise is introduced on the line.
The SN75ALS123 employs the IMPACTTM
process to achieve fast switching speeds, low
power dissipation, and reduced input current
requirements.
The SN75ALS123 is characterized for operation
from O'C to 70·C.

description
The SN75124 triple line receiver is specifically designed to meet the input/output interface specifications for IBM
System 360. It is also compatible with standard TTL logic and supply voltage levels.
The SN75124 has receiver inputs with built-in hysteresis to provide increased noise margin for single-ended
systems. An open line will affect the receiver input as would a low-level input voltage and the receiver input can
withstand a level of -0.15 V with power on or off. The other inputs are in TTL configuration. The S input must
be high to enable the receiver input. Two ofthe .line receivers have A and B inputs that. if both are high. will hold
the output low. The third receiver has only an A input that. if high. will hold the output low.
The SN75124 is characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C.

description

The SN75126 quadruple line driver is designed to
meet the IBM 360/370 I/O specification
=
A22-6974-3. The output voltage is 3.11 V
minimum (at IOH = -59.3 mA) over the recommended ranges of supply voltage (4.5 V to 5.95 V) and
temperature. Driver outputs use a fault-detection current-limit circuit to allow high drive current but still minimize
power dissipation when the output is shorted to ground. The SN75126 is compatible with standard TTL logic
and supply voltages.
Fault-flag circuitry is designed to sense and signai a line short on any Y line. Upon detecting an output fault
condition, the fault-flag circuit forces the driver output into a low state and signals a fault condition by causing
the fault-flag output to go low.
The SN75126 can drive a 50-Q load as required in the IBM GA22-6974-3 specification or a 90-Q load as used
in many I/O systems. Optimum performance can be achieved when the device is used with either the SN75125,
.
SN75127, SN75128, or SN75129 line receivers.
The SN75126 is characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C.

The SN75130 quadruple line driver is designed to
meet the IBM 360/370 I/O specification
H =high level, L =low level, X =irrelevant,
S =shorted to ground
GA22-6974-3. The output voltage is 3.11 V
t GandF are common to the four drivers. If any of the
minimum (at IOH = -59.3 mAl over the
four Y outputs is shorted, the fauH flag will respond.
recommended ranges of supply voltage (4.5 V to
5.5 V) and temperature (O·C to 70·C). Driver
outputs use a fault-detection current-limit circuit to allow high drive current but still minimize power dissipation
when the output is shorted to ground. The SN75130 is compatible with standard TTL logic and supply voltages.

Fault-flag circuitry is designed to sense and Signal a line short on any Y line. Upon detecting an output fault
condition, the fault-flag circuit forces the driver output into the off (low) state and signals a fault condition by
causing the fault-flag output to go low.
The SN75130 can drive a 50-0 load as required in the IBM GA22-6974-3 specification or a 90-0 load as used
in many I/O systems. Optimum performance can be achieved when the device is used with either the SN75125,
SN75127, SN75128, or SN75129 line receivers.
The SN75130 is characterized for operation from O·C to 70·C.

INPUTS

The SN75ALS130 quadruple line driver is
designed to meet the IBM 360/370 I/O
specification GA22-6974-3. The output voltage is
3.11 V minimum (at IOH = - 59.3 mA) over the
recommended ranges of supply voltage (4.5 V to
5.95 V) and temperature. Driver outputs use a
fault-detection current-limit circuit to allow high
drive current but still minimize power dissipation
when the output is shorted to ground. The
SN75ALS130 is compatible with standard TTL
logic and supply voltages.

H high level, L low level,
X = irrelevant, S = shorted to ground
t G and F are common to the four
drivers. If any of the four Y outputs is
shorted, the fault flag will respond.

The SN75ALS130 employs the IMPACT'" process to achieve fast switching speeds and low power dissipation.
Fault-flag c;;ircuitry is designed to sense and signal a line short on any Y line. Upon detecting an output fault
condition, the fault-flag circuit forces the driver output into a low state and signals a fault condition by causing
the fault-flag output to go low.
The SN75ALS130 can drive a 50-Q load as required in the IBM GA22-6974-3 specification or a 90-Q load as
used in many I/O systems. Optimum performance can be achieved when the devices are used with either the
SN75125, SN75127, SN75128, or SN75129 line receivers.
The SN75ALS130 is characterized for operation from O·C to 70·C.

description
Each of these devices consists of a dual
single-ended line receiver with TTL-compatible
strobes and outputs. The reference voltage
(switching threshold) is applied externally and can
be adjusted from 1.5 V to 3.5 V, making it possible
to optimize noise immunity for a given system
design. Due to their low input current (less than
100 !lA), they are ideally suited for party-line
(bus-organized) systems.

*

This symbol is in accordance wRhANSl/lEEE Std 91·1984
and lEe Publication 617-12.

logic diagram (positive logic)

The SN75140 has a common reference voltage
pin and a common strobe. The SN75141 is the
same as the SN75140 except that the input stage
is diode protected.
The SN75140 and SN75141 are characterized for
operation from O'C to 70'C.

NOTE: Using this arrangement, as many as 100 transceivers can be connected to a single data bus. The adjustable reference voltage feature
allows the noise margin to be optimized for a given system. The complete dual bus transceiver, (SN75453B driver and SN75140 receiver)
can be assembled in approximately the same space required by a single 16-pin package and only one power supply is required (ll V).
Data In and Data Out terminals are TTL compatible.

description

This symbol is in accordance wilh ANSI/IEEE Sid 91-1984
and IEC Publication 617-12.

The SN75150 is a monolithic dual line driver
designed to satisfy the requirements of the
standard interface be\Ween data terminal
equipment and data communication equipment as
defined by EIA Standard RS-232·C. A rate of
20000 bits per second can be transmitted with a
full 2500-pF load. Other applications are in
data-transmission systems using relatively short
single lines, in level translators, and for driving
MOS devices. The logic input is compatible with
most TTL families. Operation is from 12·V and
-12-V power supplies.

description
The SN75154 is a monolithic low-power Schottky line receiver designed to satisfy the requirements of the
standard interface between data terminal equipment and data communication equipment as defined by EIA
Standard RS-232-C. Other applications are for relatively short, single-line, point-to-point data transmission and
for level translators. Operation is normally from a single 5-V supply; however, a built-in option allows operation
from a 12-V supply without the use of additional components. The output is compatible with most TTL circuits
when either supply voltage is used.
In normal operation, the threshold-control terminals are connected to the VCC1 terminal, even if power is being
supplied via the alternate VCC2 terminal. This provides a wide hysteresis loop, which is the difference between
the positive-going and negative-going threshold voltages. See typical characteristics. In this mode of operation,
if the input voltage goes to zero, the output voltage will remain at the low or high level as determined by the
previous input.
For fail-safe operation, the threshold-control terminals are open. This reduces the hysteresis loop by causing
the negative-going threshold voltage to be above zero. The positive-going threshold voltage remains above zero
as it is unaffected by the disposition of the threshold terminals. In the fail-safe mode, if the input voltage goes
to zero or an open-circuit condition, the output will go to the high level regardless of the previous input condition.
The SN75154 is characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C.

The SN75155 is a monolithic line driver and
receiver that is designed to satisfy the
requirements of the standard interface between
data terminal equipment and data communication
equipment as defined by EIA standard RS-232-C.
A response control input is provided for the
receiver. A resistor or a resistor and a bias voltage
can be connected between the response control
input and ground to provide noise filtering. The
driver used is similartothe SN75188. The receiver
used is similar to the SN75189A.

The SN75158 is a dual differential line driver designed to satisfy the requirements set by the EIA Standard
RS-422-A interface specifications. The outputs provide complementary signals with high-current capability for
driving balanced lines, such as twisted pair, at normal line impedance without high power dissipation. The output
stages are TTL totem-pole outputs providing a high-impedance state in the power-off condition.
The SN75158 is characterized for operation from Q·C to 7Q·C.

description
The SN75159 dual differential line driver with 3-state outputs is designed to provide all the features of the
SN75158 line driver with the added feature of driver output controls. There is an individual control for each driver.
When the output control is low, the associated outputs are in a high-im pedance state and the outputs can neither
drive nor load the bus. This permits many devices to be connected together on the same transmission line for
party-line applications.
The SN75159 is characterized for operation from O·C to 70·C.

description
The SN75160B 8-channel general-purpose interface bus transceiver is a monolithic, high-speed, low-power
Schottky device designed for two-way data communications over single-ended transmission lines. It is designed
to meet the requirements of IEEE Standard 488-1978. The transceiver features driver outputs that can be
operated in either the passive-pullup or 3-state mode. If talk enable (TE) is high, these ports have the
characteristics of passive-pullup outputs when pullup enable (PE) is low, and of 3-state outputs when PE is high.
Taking TE low places these ports in the high-impedance state. The driver outputs are designed to handle loads
up to 48 mA of sink current.
Output glitches during power up and power down are eliminated by an internal circuit that disables both the bus
and receiver outputs. The outputs do not load the bus when Vee = O. When combined with the SN75161 B or
SN75162B management bus transceivers, the pair provides the complete 16-wire interface for the IEEE-488
bus.
The SN75160B is characterized for operation from QOG to 7QoG.

description
The SN55ALS160 and SN75ALS160 eightchannel
general-purpose
interface
bus
transceivers
are
monolithic,
high-speed,
advanced low-power Schottky devices designed
for two-way data communications over
single-ended transmission lines. They are
designed to meet the requirements of IEEE
Standard 488-1978. The transceivers feature
driver outputs that can be operated in either the
passive-pullup or 3-state mode. If talk enable (TE)
is high, these ports have the characteristics of
passive-pullup outputs when pullup enable (PE) is
low, and of 3-state outputs when PE is high. Taking
TE low places these ports in the high-impedance
state. The driver outputs are designed to handle
loads up to 48 mA of sink current.

into the bus-terminating resistors so that the
device exhibits a high impedance to the bus when
Vee =O. When combined with the SN55ALS161 , SN75ALS161, or SN75ALS162 management bus transceiver,
the pair provides the complete 16-wire interface for the IEEE-488 bus.

The SN55ALS 160 is characterized for operation from -55°C to 125°C.The SN75ALS160 is characterized for
operation from O°C to 70°C.

t The transceivers are suitable for IEEE Standard 896 applications to the extent of the operating conditions and characteristics specified in this
data sheet. Certain IimHs contained in the IEEE specification are not met or cannot be tested over the entire military temperature range.

description
The SN75161 Band SN75162B eight-channel,
general-purpose interface bus transceivers are
monolithic, high-speed, low-power Schottky
devices designed to meet the requirements of
IEEE Standard 488-1978. Each transceiver is
designed to provide the bus-management and
data-transfer signals between operating units of
a single- or multiple-controller instrumentation
system. When combined with the SN75160B octal
bus transceiver, the SN75161 B or SN75162B
provides the complete 16-wire interface for the
IEEE-488 bus.
The SN75161 Band SN75162B each features
eight driver-receiver pairs connected in a
front-to-back configuration to form input/output
(I/O) ports at both the bus and terminal sides. A
power-up/down disable circuit is included on all
bus and receiver outputs. This provides glitch-free
operation during VCC power up and power down.
The direction of data through these driver-receiver
pairs is determined by the DC, TE, and SC (on
SN75162B) enable signals. The SC input on the
SN75162B allows the REN and IFC transceivers
to be controlled independently.

description (continued)
The driver outputs (GPIB I/O ports) feature active bus-terminating resistor circuits designed to provide a high
impedance to the bus when supply voltage Vee is O. The drivers are designed to handle loads up to 48 rnA of
sink current. Each receiver features pnp transistor inputs for high input impedance and hysteresis of 400 mV
for increased noise immunity. All receivers have 3-state outputs to present a high impedance to the terminal
when disabled.
The SN75161 Band SN75162B are characterized for operation from O·C to 70·C.

The SN55ALS161 and SN75ALS161 eightchannel
general-purpose
interface
bus
monolithic,
high-speed,
transceivers
are
advanced low-power Schottky process devices
deSigned to provide the bus-management and
data-transfer signals between operating units of a
single controller instrumentation system. When
SN55ALS160
and
combined
with
the
SN75ALS160 octal bus transceivers, the'ALS161
provides the complete 16-wire interface for the
IEEE 488 bus.

The SN55ALS161 and SN75ALS161 feature
Data
eight driver-receiver pairs connected in a front-toTransfer
back configuration to form input/output (I/O) ports
at both the bus and terminal sides. The direction
of data through these driver-receiver pairs is determined by the DC and TE enable signals.
The driver outputs (GPIB I/O ports) feature active bus-terminating resistor circuits designed to provide a high
impedance to the bus when VCC =O. The drivers are designed to handle loads up to 48 rnA of sink current. Each
receiver features pnp transistor inputs for high input impedance and hysteresis of 400 mV on the commercial
part, 250 mV on the military part minimum for increased noise immunity. All receivers have 3-state outputs to
present a high impedance to the terminal when disabled.
t The transceivers are sunable for I EEE Standard 488 applications to the extent of the operating condnions and characteristics specified in this
data sheet. Certain limns contained in the IEEE specification are not met or cannot be tested over the entire military temperature range.

Direction of data transmission is from the terminal side to the bus side, and the direction of data receiving is from the bus side to the terminal side.
Data transfer is noninverting in both directions.
t ATN is a normal transceiver channel that functions additionally as an internal direction control or talk enable for EOI whenever the DC and TE
inputs are in the same state. When DC and TE are in opposHe states, the ATN channel functions as an independent transceiver only.

description
The SN75ALS162 eight-channel generalpurpose interface bus transceiver is a monolithic,
high-speed, advanced low-power Schottky
process device designed to provide the busmanagement and data-transfer signals between
multiple-controller
operating
units of a
instrumentation system. When combined with the
SN75ALS160 octal bus transceiver, the
SN75ALS162 provides the complete 16-wire
interface for the IEEE 488 bus.

Terminal

The SN75ALS162 features eight driver-receiver
NC-No internal connection
pairs connected in a front-to-back configuration to
form input/output (I/O) ports at both the bus and terminal sides. The direction of data through these
driver-receiver pairs is determined by the DC, TE, and SC enable signals. The SC input allows the REN and
IFC transceivers to be controlled independently.
The driver outputs (GPIB 110 ports) feature active bus-terminating resistor circuits designed to provide a high
impedance to the bus when VCC = O. The drivers are designed to handle loads up to 48 mA of sink current. Each
receiver features pnp transistor inputs for high input impedance and hysteresis of 400 mV minimum for
increased noise immunity. All receivers have 3-state outputs to present a high impedance to the terminal when
disabled.
The SN75ALS162 is characterized for operation from O·C to 70·C.

Direction of data transmission Is from the terminal side to the bus side, and the direction of data receiving is from the bus side to the terminal side.
Data transfer is noninverting in both directions.
t ATN is a normal transceiver channel that functions addHionaily as an internal direction control or talk enable for EOI whenever the DC and TE
inputs are in the same state. When DC and TE are in opposHe states, the ATN channel functions as an independent transceiver only.

description
The SN75163B octal general-purpose interface
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN
bus transceiver is a monolithic, high-speed, lowpower Schottky device. It is designed for two-way
data communications over single-ended transmission lines. The transceiver features driver outputs that can be
operated in either the open-collector or 3-state modes. If talk enable (TE) is high, these outputs have the
characteristics of open-collector outputs when pullup enable (PE) is low and of 3-state outputs when PE is high.
Taking TE low places the outputs in the high-impedance state. The driver outputs are designed to handle loads
of up to 48 mA of sink current. Each receiver features pnp transistor inputs for high input impedance and 400 mV
of hysteresis for increased noise immunity.
Output glitches during power up and power down are eliminated by an internal circuit that disables both the bus
and receiver outputs. The outputs do not load the bus when Vee =O.
The SN751638 is characterized for operation from O'C to 70'C.

CHANNEL IDENTIFICATION TABLE

The SN75164B eight-channel general-purpose
interface bus transceiver is a monolithic,
high-speed, low-power Schottky device designed
to meet the requirements of IEEE Standard
488-1978. Each transceiver is designed to provide
the bus-management and data-transfer signals
between operating units of a multiple-controller
instrumentation system. When combined with the
SN75160B octal bus transceiver, the SN75164B
provides the complete 16-wire interface for the
IEEE-488 bus.

The SN75164B features eight driver-receiver
pairs connected in a front-to-back configuration to
form input/output (I/O) ports at both the bus and terminal sides. All outputs are disabled (at a high-impedance
state) during VCC power-up and power-down transitions for glitch-free operation. The direction of data flow
through these driver-receiver pairs is determined by the DC, TE, and SC enable signals. The SN75164B is
identical to the SN75162B with the addition of an OR gate to help simplify board layouts in several popular
applications. The ATN and EOI signals are ORed to pin 21, which is a standard totem-pole output.

description (continued)
The driver outputs (GPIB I/O ports) feature active bus-terminating resistor circuits designed to provide a high
impedance to the bus when supply voltage Vee is D. The drivers are designed to handle loads up to 48 mA of
sink current. Each receiver features pnp transistor inputs for high input impedance and an ensured hysteresis
of 400 mV for increased noise immunity. All receivers have 3-state outputs to present a high impedance to the
terminal when disabled.
The SN75164B is characterized for operation from D·C to 7D·C.

description
The SN75ALS164 eight-channel generalpurpose interface bus transceiver is a monolithic,
high-speed, advanced low-power Schottky device
designed to meet the requirements of IEEE
Standard 488-1978. Each transceiver is designed
to provide the bus-management and data-transfer
signals between operating units of a multiplecontroller
instrumentation system.
When
combined with the SN75ALS160 octal bus
transceiver, the SN75ALS164 provides the
complete 16-wire interface for the IEEE 488 bus.

The SN75ALS164 features eight driver-receiver
pairs connected in a front-to-back configuration to
form input/output (I/O) ports at both the bus and
terminal sides. All outputs are disabled (at a
high-impedance state) during VCC power-up and
power-down transitions for glitch-free operation.
The direction of data flow through these
driver-receiver pairs is determined by the DC, TE,
and SC enable signals. The SN75ALS164 is
identical to the SN75ALS162 with the addition of
an OR gate to help simplify board layouts in
several popular applications. The ATN and EOI
signals are ORed to provide the ATN + EOI output,
which is a standard totem-pole output.

description (continued)
The driver outputs (GPIB I/O ports) feature active bus-terminating resistor circuits designed to provide a high
impedance to the bus when supply voltage Vee is O. The drivers are designed to handle loads up to 48 mA of
sink current. Each receiver features pnp transistor inputs for high input impedance and hysteresis of 400 mV
minimum for increased noise immunity. All receivers have 3-state outputs to present a high impedance to the
terminal when disabled.
The SN75ALS164 is characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C.

description

The SN75ALS165 eight-channel generalpurpose interface bus transceiver is a monolithic,
high-speed, advanced low-power Schottky device
x
designed for two-way data communications over
single-ended transmission lines. It is designed to
meet tlie requirements of IEEE Standard
488-1978. The transceiver features driver outputs
that can be operated ineither the passive-pullup
or 3-state mode. If talk enable (TE) is high, these
ports have the characteristics of passive-pullup outputs when pullup enable (PE) is low and of 3-state outputs
when PE is high. Taking TE low places these ports in the high-impedance state. Taking TE and PE low places
both the drivers and receivers in the high-impedance state. The driver outputs are designed to handle loads up
to 48 mA of sink current.
An active turn-off feature is incorporated into the bus-terminating resistors so that the device exhibits a high
impedance to the bus when Vee =O. When combined with the SN75ALS161 or SN75ALS162 management bus
transceiver, the pair provides the complete 16-wire interface for the IEEE 488 bus.
The SN75ALS165 is manufactured in a 20-pin package and is characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C.

description (continued)
The SN75ALS170 operates from a single SN power supply. The drivers and receivers have active-high and
active-low enables, respectively, which are internally connected together to function as a direction control. The
driver differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected internally to form differential
input/output (I/O) bus ports that are designed to offer minimum loading to the bus when the driver is disabled
or Vee = O. These ports feature wide positive and negative common-mode voltage ranges making the device
suitable for party-line applications.
The SN7SALS170 is characterized for operation from O'C to 70·C.

t The power-off measurement In EIA Standard RS-422-A applies to disabled outputs only and is not applied to combined Inputs and outputs.
All typical values are at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C.
§ A IVOD I and A IVoc I are the changes in magnitude ofVOD and VOC respectively, that occur when the input is changed from a high level to a
low level.
11 Duration of the short-circuit current should not exceed one second.
#The minimum VOD2 with a 100-0 load is either 1/2 VOD1 or 2 V, whichever is greater.
NOTE 3: This applies for both power on and off; refer to EIA Standard RS-485 for exact conditions. The RS-422-A limit does not apply for a
combined driver and receiver terminal.

description
The SN75ALS171 triple differential bus transceiver is a monolithic integrated circuit designed for bidirectional
data communication on multipoint bus transmission lines. It is designed for balanced transmission lines, and
the driver meets EIA Standards RS-422-A and RS-485 and CCITT recommendations V.11 and X.27 and ANSI
Standard X3.131-1986.
The SN75ALS171 operates from a single 5-V power supply. The drivers and receivers have individual
active-high and active-low enables, respectively, which can be externally connected together to function as a
direction control. The driver differential output and the receiver differential input pairs are connected internally
to form differential input/output (I/O) bus ports that are designed to offer minimum loading to the bus when the
driver is disabled or Vee is at QV. These ports feature wide positive and negative common-mode voltage ranges
making the device suitable for party-line applications.
The SN75ALS171 is characterized for operation from Q·C to 7Q·C.

The power-off measurement In EIA Standard RS-422-A applies to disabled outputs only and IS not applied to combined Inputs and outputs.
All typical values are at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C.
§ A IVODI and I!J.IVoc I are the changes in magnitude ofVOD and VOC respectively, that occur when the input is changed from a high level to a low
level.
'II Duration of the short-Circuit current should not exceed one second.
# The minimum VOD2 with 1OO-W load is either 1/2 VOD2 or 2 V, whichever is greater.
NOTE 3: This applies for both power on and off; refer to EIA Standard RS-485 for exact conditions. The RS-422-A limit does not apply for a
combined driver and receiver terminal.

description
The SN75172 is a monolithic quad differential line
driver with 3-state outputs. It is designed to meet
the requirements of EIA Standards RS-422-A and
RS-485 and CCITT Recommendations V.11 and
X.27. The device is optimized for balanced
multipoint bus transmission at rates of up to
4 megabaud. Eaeh driver features wide positive
and negative common-mode output voltage
ranges making it suitable for party-line
applications in noisy environments.

The SN75172 provides positive- and negative-current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection from line
fault conditions on the transmission bus line. Shutdown occurs at a junction temperature of approximately
150'C. This device offers optimum performance when used with the SN75173 or SN75175 quadruple
differential line receivers.
The SN75172 is characterized for operation from O'C to 70'C.

description
2Y

The SN65ALS172A and SN75ALS172A are quad
line drivers with 3-state differential outputs. They
are designed to meet the requirements of EIA
Standards RS-422-A and RS-485 and CCITT
Recommendations V.11 and X.27. These devices
are optimized for balanced multipoint bus
transmission at rates of up to 20-Mbaud. Each
driver features wide positive and negative
common-mode output voltage ranges making
them suitable for party-line applications in noisy
environments.
The SN65ALS172A and SN75ALS172A provide
positive- and negative-current limiting and thermal
shutdown for protection from line fault conditions
on the transmission bus line. Shutdown occurs at
a junction temperature of approximately 150'C.

description
The SN75ALS173 is a monolithic quad differential
line receiver with 3-state outputs. It is designed to
meet the requirements of EIA Standards
RS-422-A, RS-423-A, and RS-485 and several
CCITT recommendations. Advanced low-power
Schottky technology provides high speed without
the usual power penalty. The four receivers have
an ORed pair of enables in common. Either G
being high or G being low enables all of the
receivers. The device features high input
impedance, input hystereSiS for increased noise
immunity, and input sensitivity of ±2DD mV over
a common-mode input voltage range of -12 V
to 12V.

The SN75ALS175 is a monolithic quadruple
differential line receiver with 3-state outputs. It is
designed to meet the requirements of EIA
Standards RS-422-A, RS-423-A, and RS-485 and
several celn recommendations. Advanced
low-power Schottky technology provides high
speed without the usual power penalty. Each of
the two pairs of receivers has a common
active-high enable. The device features high input
impedance, input hysteresis for increased noise
immunity, and input sensitivity of :t:200 mVover a
common-mode input voltage range of -12 V to
12V.
The SN75ALS175 is characterized for operation
from ooe to 70·e.

The SN75176A differential bus transceiver is a
monolithic integrated circuit designed for
bidirectional data communication on multipoint
bus transmission lines. It is designed for balanced
transmission lines and meet EIA Standard

The SN75176A com bines a 3-state differential line driver and a differential input line receiver, both of which
operate from a single 5-V power supply. The driver and receiver have active-high and active-low enables,
respectively, that can be externally connected together to function as a direction control. The driver differential
outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected internally to form differential input/output (I/O) bus
ports that are designed to offer minimum loading to the bus whenever the driver is disabled or Vee = O. These
ports feature wide positive and negative com mon-mode voltage ranges making the device suitable for party-line
applications.

The SN65176B and SN75176B differential bus
transceivers are monolithic integrated circuits
designed for bidirectional data communication on
multipoint bus transmission lines. They are
designed for balanced transmission lines and
meet EIA Standard RS-422-A and RS-485 and

Bu.

The SN65176B and SN75176B combine a 3-state differential line driver and a differential input line receiver,
both of which operate from a single 5-V power supply. The driver and receiver have active-high and active-low
enables, respectively, that can be externally connected together to function as a direction control. The driver
differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected internally to form differential input/output
(I/O) bus ports that are designed to offer minimum loading to the bus whenever the driver is disabled or
Vee = O. These ports feature wide positive and negative common-mode voltage ranges making the device
suitable for party-line applicetions.

description (continued)
The driver is designed to handle loads up to 60 mA of sink or source current. The driver features positive- and
negative-current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection from line fault conditions, Thermal shutdown is
designed to occur at B junction temperature of approximately 150·C. The receiver features a minimum input
impedance of 12 kg, an Input sensitivity of :t200 mY, and a typical input hysteresis of 50 mY.
The SN65176B and SN75176B can be used in transmission line applications employing the SN75172 and
SN75174 quadruple differential line drivers and SN75173 and SN75175 quadruple differential line receivers.

The SN65176B characterized for operation from -40·C to 105·C and the SN75176B is characterized for

description
The SN95176B differential bus transceiver is a
monolithic integrated Circuit designed for bidirectional data communication on multipoint bus
transmission lines. The transceiver is suitable for
most RS-422-A and RS-485 applications to the
extent of the specified data sheet characteristics
and operating conditions.

The SN95176B combines a 3-state differential
line driver and a differential input line receiver,
00000
both of which operate from a single 5-V power
z
zzz
(!)
supply. The driver and receiver have active-high
NC - No internal connection
and active-low enables, respectively, that can be
externally connected together to function as a
direction control. The driver differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected internally to
form differential input/output (I/O) bus port!? that are designed to offer minimum loading to the bus whenever the
driver is disabled or VCC =O. These ports feature wide positive and negative common-mode voltage ranges
making the device suitable for party-line applications.
'
14

The driver is designed to handle loads up to 60 rnA of sink or source current. The driver features positive- and
negative-current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection from line fault conditions. Thermal shutdown is
designed to occur at a junction temperature of approximately 150°C. The receiver features a minimum input
impedance of 12 kQ, an input sensitivity of ±200 mV, and a typical input hysteresis of 50 mY.
The SN95176B is characterized for operation from -40°C to 110°C.

description
The SN65ALS176 and SN75ALS176 series
differential bus transceivers are monolithic
integrated circuits designed for bidirectional data
communication on multipoint bus transmission
lines. They are designed for balanced transmission lines and meet EIA Standards RS-422-A
and RS-485 and CCITT recommendations V.11
and X.27.

The SN65ALS176 and SN75ALS176 series
difference between the maximum and minimum specified values
combine a 3-state differential line driver and a
of tpHL (or tdoLl. This is the maximum range that the driver or
differential input line receiver, both of which
receiver delay time will vary over temperature, Vee, and device to
operate from a Single 5-V power supply. The driver
device.
and receiver have active-high and active-low enables, respectively, which can be externally connected together
to function as a direction control. The driver differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected
internally to form a differential input/output (I/O bus port that is designed to offer minimum loading to the bus
whenever the driver is disabled or Vee =O. This port features wide positive and negative com mon-mode voltage
ranges making the device suitable for party-line applications.
The SN65ALS176 is characterized for operation from -40·C to 85·C, and the SN75ALS176 series is
characterized for operation from O·C to 70·C.

description
The SN65179B and SN75179B differential driver
and receiver pair are monolithic integrated
devices designed for balanced transmission line
applications and meet EIA Standards RS-422-A
and RS-485 and eelTT Recommendations V.11
and X.27. They are designed to improve the
performance of full·duplex data communications
over long bus lines.
The SN65179B and SN75179B driver outputs
provide limiting for both positive and negative
currents. The receiver features high input
impedance, input hysteresis for increased noise
immunity, and input sensitivity of ±200 mVover a
common-mode input voltage range of -7 V to
12 V. The driver provides thermal shutdown for
protection from line fault conditions. Thermal
shutdown is designed to occur at a junction
temperature of approximately 150·e. The
SN65179B and SN75179B are designed to drive
current loads of up to 60 mA maximum.

easily controlled by a single external capacitor to
provide immunity to differential noise spikes. The
output goes to a high level when the inputs are open circuited. A strobe input is provided which, when in
the low level, disables the receiver and forces the output to a high level.
The receiver is of monolithic single-chip construction, and both halves of the dual circuits use common power
supply and ground terminals.
The SN55182 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125·C. The
DS8820A and SN75182 are characterized for operation from O°C to 70·C.

description
The DS8830, SN55183, and SN75183 dual
differential line drivers are designed to provide
differential output signals with high-current
capability for driving balanced lines, such as
twisted-pair, at normal line impedances without
high power dissipation. These devices may be
used as TTL expander/phase splitters, as the
output stages are similar to TTL totem-pole
outputs.

The SN65C185 and SN75C185 are low-power
BI-MOS devices containing three independent
drivers and five receivers that are used to interface
data terminal equipment (DTE) with data
circuit-terminating equipment (DeE). The
SN65C185 and SN75C185 will typically replace
one SN75188 and two SN75189 devices. These
devices have been designed to conform to
Standards
ANSI/EIA-232-D-1986,
which
supersedes RS-232-C. The three drivers and five
receivers of the SN65C185 and SN75C185 are
sim liar to those ofthe SN75C188 quad drivers and
SN75C189A quad receivers, respectively. The
drivers have a controlled output slew rate that is
limited to a maximum of 30 V/JAS and the receivers
have filters that reject input noise pulses that are
shorter than 1 flS. Both these features eliminate
the need for external components.
The SN65C185 and SN75C185 have been
designed using low-power techniques in a
BI-MOS technology. In most applications, the
receivers contained in these devices will interface
to single inputs of peripheral devices such as
ACEs, UARTS, or microprocessors. By using
sampling, such peripheral devices are usually
insensitive to the transition times of the input
signals. If this is not the case, or for other uses, it
is recommended that the SN65C185 and
SN75C185 receiver outputs be buffered by single
Schmitt input gates or single gates ofthe HCMOS,
ALS, or 74F logic families.

t All typical values are at TA = 25°C.
* The algebraic convention, where the more positive (less negative) limit is designated as maximum, is used In this data sheet for logic levelS only.
§ This is the most positive level that the driver output will rise to when the device Is in the loopback mode and the driver input is at a low level.
'II The loopback mode should be entered only when the driver output is in the low (marking) state.
# Unused driver inputs should be tied to 0 V or VCC2; unused loopback inputs should be tied to VCC2.
NOTES: 3. Minimum lOS (H) and IOS(L) are specified at ~O = 0, as this more accurately describes the output current needed to dynamically drive
capacitive lines. A minimum ohl0 rnA is sufficlenllo drive 2500 pF in parallel with 3 kg at a slew rate of 4 VltJ.s (In accordance with
EIA-232-D and V.28).
4. Test conditions are those specified by EIA-232-D.
5. Without a load and VI = 0, the worst-case conditions, VCC2 sources a small current originating from VCCl giving ICC2 supply current
a negative sign. When a receiver has an output load, VCC2 Sinks static and dynamic supply currents to meet load requirements.

description

1 CONT

The SN65C189, SN65C189A, SN75C189, and
SN75C189A are low-power bipolar quad line
receivers that are used to interface data terminal
equipment (DTE) with data circuit-terminating
equipment (DCE). These devices have been
designed to conform with Standard ANSI!
EIA-232-D-1986, which supersedes RS-232"C.
The SN65C189 and SN75C189 have a 0.33 V
typical hysteresis compared with 0.97 V for the
SN65C189A and SN75C189A. Each receiver has
provision for adjustment of the overall input
threshold levels. This is achieved by choosing
external series resistors and voltages to provide
bias levels for the response control pins. The
output is in the high logic state if the input is left
open circuited or shorted to ground.

These devices have an on-chip filter that rejects input pulses of shorter than 1-1lS minimum duration. An external
capaCitor may be connected from the control pins to ground to provide further input noise filtering for each
receiver.
The SN65C189, SN75C189, SN65C189A, and SN75C189A have been designed using low-power techniques
in a bipolar technology. In most applications, these receivers will interface to single inputs of peripheral devices
such as UARTs, ACEs, or microprocessors. By using sampling, such peripheral devices are usually insensitive
to the transition times of the input signals. If this is not the case or for other uses, it is recommended that the
SN65C189, SN75C189, SN65C189A, and SN75C189A outputs be buffered by single Schmitt input gates or
single gates of the HCMOS, ALS, or 74F logic families.
The SN65C189 and SN65C189A are characterized for operation from-40·C to 85·C. The SN75C189 and
SN75C189A are characterized for operation from O·C to 70·C.

GND

These quad differential line drivers are designed
for data transmission over. twisted-pair or
parallel-wire transmission lines. They meet the
requirements of EIA Standard RS-422-A and are
compatible with 3-state TTL circuits. Advanced
low-power Schottky technology provides high
speed without the usual power penalties. Standby
supply current is typically only 26 mA, while typical
propagation delay time is less than 10 ns.

High-impedance inputs maintain input currents
low, less than 1 fAA for a high level and less than
100 fAA for a low level. Complementary enable
inputs, G and G, allow these devices to be enabled
at either a high input level or low input level. The
SN75ALS192 is capable of data rates in excess of
20 megabits per second and is designed to
operate with the SN75ALS193 quad line receiver.
The SN55ALS192 is also capable of data rates in
excess of 20 megabits per second and designed
to operate with the SN55ALS193; however, it may
be limited to a lower bit rate based on the
temperature. Reference should be made to the
Dissipation Rating Table and Figure 15.

description
The SN75ALS193 is a monolithic quad line receiver with 3-state outputs designed using advanced low-power
Schottky technology. This technology provides combined improvements in bar design, tooling production, and
wafer fabrication. This, in turn, provides significantly less power requirements and permits much higher data
throughput than other designs. These devices meet the specifications of EIA Standards RS-422-A and
RS-423-A. It features 3-state outputs that permit direct connection to a bus-organized system with a fail-safe
design that ensures the outputs will always be high if the inputs are open.
The device is optimized for balanced multipoint bus transmission at rates up to 20 megabits per second. The
input features high Input impedance, input hysteresis for increased noise immunity, and an input sensitivity of
± 200 mV over a common-mode input voltage range of - 7 to 7 V. It also features active-high and active-low
enable functions that are common to the four channels. The SN75ALS193 is designed for optimum performance
when used with the ALS192 quad differential line driver.
The SN75ALS193 is characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C.

description

SN55ALS194 ••• FK PACKAGE
(TOP VIEW)

These quad differential line drivers are designed
for data transmission over twisted-pair or
parallel-wire transmission lines. They meet the
requirements of EIA Standard RS-422-A and are
compatible with 3-state TTL circuits. Advanced
low-power Schottky technology provides high
speed without the usual power penalty. Standby
supply current is typically only 26 mA, while typical
propagation delay time is less than 10 ns and
enable/disable times are typically less than 16 ns.
High-impedance inputs keep input currents low,
less than 1 J.tA for a high level and less than
100 J.tA for a low level. The driver circuits can be
enabled in pairs by separate active-high enable
inputs. The SN55ALS194 and SN75ALS194 are
capable of data rates in excess of 10 megabits per
second and are designed to operate with the
SN55ALS195 and SN75ALS195 quadruple line
receivers.

description
The SN55ALS195 and SN75ALS195 are
monolithic quad line receivers with 3-state
outputs designed using advanced low-power
Schottky technology. This technology provides
combined improvements in die design, tooling
production, and wafer fabrication, which in turn,
provide lower power consumption and permit
much higher data throughput than other
designs. The devices meet the specifications of
EIA Standards RS-422-A and RS-423-A. The
3-state outputs permit direct connection to a
bus-organized system with a fail-safe design
that ensures the outputs will always be high if
the inputs are open.

The devices are optimized for balanced multipoint bus transmission at rates up to 20 megabits per second. The
input features high input impedance, input hysteresis for increased noise immunity, and an input sensitivity of
± 200 mV over a common-mode input voltage range of ± 7 V. The devices also feature an active-high enable
function for each of two receiver pairs. The SN55ALS195 and SN75ALS195 are designed for optimum
performance when used with the SN55ALS194 and SN75ALS194 quad differential line drivers.
The SN55ALS195 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of - 55°C to 125°C. The
SN75ALS195 is characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C.

description
The SN75ALSI97 is a monolithic quad line
receiver with 3-state outputs designed using
advanced low-power Schottky technology. This
technology provides combined improvements in
bar design, tooling production, and wafer
fabrication. This, in turn, provides significantly less
power requirements and permits much higher
data throughput than other designs. The device
meets
the
specifications
of
CCITT
Recommendations V.1 0, V.11, X.26, and X.27. It
features 3-state outputs that permit direct
connection to a bus-organized system with a
fail-safe design that ensures the outputs will
always be high if the inputs are open.

logic diagram (positive logic)

The device is optimized for balanced multipoint
bus transmission at rates up to 10 megabits per
second. The input features high input impedance,
input hysteresis for increased noise immunity, and
an input sensitivity of ±300 mV over a
common-mode input voltage range of -7 V to 7 V.
It also features active-high and active-low enable
functions that are common to the four channels.
The SN75ALS197 is designed for optimum
performance when used with the SN75ALS192
quad differential line driver.

description

2B

The SN65C198 and SN75C198 are monolithic
low-power· BI-MOS quad low-power line drivers
designed to interface data terminal equipment
(DTE) with data circuit-terminating equipment
(DCE) in conformance with the specifications of
ANSI/EIA-232-D-1986.
The sleep-mode input, SM, can be used to switch
the outputs to high impedance, which avoids the
transmission of corrupted data during power up
and allows significant system power savings
during data-off periods.

The SN75ALS199 features 3-state outputs that
permit direct connection to a bus-organized
system with a fail-safe design that ensures the
ouptuts will always be high if the inputs are open.
The device is optimized for balanced multipoint
bus transmission at rates up to 10 megabits per
second. The input features high input impedance,
input hysteresis for increased noise immunity, and
an input sensitivity of :t300 mVover a commonmode input voltage range of :t 7 V. It also features
an active-high enable function for each of two
receiver pairs. The SN75ALS199 is designed for
optimum performance when used with the
SN75ALS194 quadruple differential line driver.
The SN75ALS199 is characterized for operation
from O'C to 70·C.

The SN75ALS199 is a monolithic quad line
receiver with 3-state outputs designed using
advanced low-power Schottky technology. This
technology provides combined improvements in
bar design, tooling production, and wafer
fabrication, providing significantly less power
consumption and permitting much higher data
throughput than other designs. The device meets
the specification of CCITT Recommendation
V.10, V.11, X.26 and X.27.

description
The SN75207 and SN752078 are pin-for-pin replacements for the SN751 07A and SN751 078, respectively. The
improved input sensitivity makes them more suitable for MOS memory sense amplifiers and can result in faster
memory cycles. Improved sensitivity also makes them more useful in line receiver applications by allowing use
of longer transmission line lengths. The '207 and '2078 each features a TTL-compatible active-pullup output.
The essential difference between the SN75207 and SN752078 can be seen in the schematics. Input protection
diodes are in series with the collectors of the differential-input transistors of the SN752078. These diodes are
useful in certain party-line systems that may have multiple Vcc+ power supplies and may be operated with
some ofthe VCC+ supplies turned off. In such a system, if a supply is turned off and allowed to go to ground,
the equivalent input circuit connected to that supply would be as follows:
Input

~I

Input

SN75207

SN75207B

This would be a problem in specific systems that might have the transmission lines biased to some potential
greater than 1.4 V.
These devices are characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C.

PRECAUTIONS: When only one receiver in a package is being used, at least one of the differential inputs of the
unused receiver should be terminated at some voltage between -3 V and 3 V, preferably at GND. Failure to do so
will cause improper operation of the unit being used because of common bias circuitry for the current sources ofthe
two receivers. Strobe G of the unused channel should be grounded.

description
The SN75LBC241 t is a low-power LinBiCMOS™ line interface device containing four independent drivers and
five receivers. It is designed to provide a plug-in replacement for the Maxim MAX241 with improved ESD
protection and other key performance specifications. The SN75LBC241 provides a capacitive Charge-pump
voltage generator to produce EINTIA-232 voltage levels from a 5-V supply. The charge-pump oscillator
frequency is 20 kHz. Each receiver converts EIAITIA-232 inputs to 5-VTTL/CMOS levels. The receivers have
a typical threshold of 1.2 V and a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V, and can accept ±30-V inputs. Each driver converts
TIL/CMOS input levels into EIA/TIA-232 levels.

"-

The SN75LBC241 includes a receiver 3-state control line and a low-power shutdown control line. Whenever,
the EN line is high, the receiver outputs are placed in a high-impedance state. When EN is low, normal operation
is enabled.
The shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 51lW typical. In this mode, receiver outputs are high
impedance, driver outputs are turned off, and the charge-pump circuit is turned off. When the SHUTDOWN line
is high, the shutdown mode is enabled. When the SHUTDOWN line is low, normal operation is enabled.
This device has been designed to conform to standard EIA/TIA-232-E, 1991 and CCITI V.28 specifications.
The SN75LBC241 has been designed using LinBiCMOS™ technology and cells contained in the Texas
Instruments LinASIC™ library. Use of LinBiCMOS™ circuitry increases latch-up immunity in this device over an
all-CMOS design. The SN75LBC241 is characterized for operation from O°C to 70°C.

description
The SN75LBC976 is a nine-channel differential
transceiver based on the 75LBC176 UnASIC™
cell. Use of Texas Instruments' UnBiCMOS ... t
process technology allows the power reduction
necessary to
integrate nine differential
transceivers. On-Chip enabling logic makes this
device applicable for the data path (eight data bits
plus parity) and the control path (nine bits) for
both the Small Computer Systems Interface
(SCSI) and the Intelligent Peripheral Interface
(IPI-2) standard data interfaces. This part is ESO
Class 1 (A) and Class 2 (B) per MIL-STO-883,
Method 3015.

Pins 13 through 17 and 40 through 44
are connected together to the package
lead frame and signal ground.

The SN75LBC976 is packaged in a shrink small-outline package (OL) with improved thermal characteristics
using heat sink pins. This package is ideal for low-profile, space-restricted applications such as hard disk drives.
The switching speed and testing of the SN75LBC976 is sufficient to transfer data over the data bus at 10m iIIion
transfers per second. Each of the nine channels conforms to the requirements of the EIA-RS-485 and ISO
8482:1987(E) standards referenced by ANSI X3.129-1986 (I PI), ANSI X3.131-1986 (SCSI-1), and the proposed
SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 standards.
The SN75LBC976 is characterized for operation from O·C to 70·C.

The SN75LBC978 is a nine-channel differential
transceiver based on the 75LBC176 LinASIC™
cell. Use of the Texas Instruments LinBiCMOS™
process technology allows the power reduction
necessary to integrate nine differential balanced
transceiverst . On-chip enabling logic makes this
device applicable for the data path (eight data bits
plus parity) and the control path (nine bits) for the
Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI)
standard. The WRAP function allows in-circuit
testing and wired-OR channels for the BSY, RST,
and SEL signals of the SCSI bus.

Pins 13 through 17 and 40 through 44 are
connected together to the package lead
frame and signal ground.

The SN75LBC978 is packaged in a shrink small-outline package (OL) with improved thermal characteristics
using heat sink pins. This package is ideal for low-profile, space-restricted applications such as hard disk drives.
The switching speed of the SN75LBC978 is sufficient to transfer data over the data bus at 10 million transfers
per second. Each of the nine identical channels conforms to the requirements of the EIA-RS-485 and
ISO 8482:1987(E) standards referenced by ANSI X3.131-1986 (SCSI-1) and the proposed SCSI-2 standards.
This device conforms to ESO Class 1 (A) and Class 2 (B) per MIL-STO-883, Method 3015.
The SN75LBC978 is characterized for operation from C·C to 70·C.

• Meets Standard EIA-232-D (Revision of
RS-232-C)
• Very Low Power Consumption
5mWTyp
• Wide Driver Supply Voltage ... :1:4.5 V

• Driver Output Slew Rate Limited to 30 V/fJS

• Receiver Input Hysteresis .•• 1000 mV Typ
• Push-Pull Receiver Outputs
• On-Chip Receiver 1-!JS Noise Filter
description
The SN65C1154 and SN75C1154 are low-power
BI-MOS devices containing four independent
drivers and receivers that are used to interface
data terminal equipment (DTE) with data circuitterminating equipment (DCE). This device has
been designed to conform to Standards ANSII
EIA-232-D-1986 (which supersedes RS-232-C).
The drivers and receivers of the SN65C1154 and
SN75C1154 are similar to those of the SN75C188
quadruple driver and SN75C189A quadruple
receiver, respectively. The drivers have a
controlled output slew rate that is limited to a
maxim urn of 30 V/fJS and the receivers have filters
that reject input noise pulses of shorter than 1 fJS.
Both these features eliminate the need for
external components.

description
The SN751177 and SN751178 dual differential
drivers and receivers are monolithic integrated
circuits that are designed for balanced multipoint
bus transmission at rates up to 10 Mbits per
second. They are designed to improve the
performance of full-duplex data communications
over long bus lines and meet EIA standards
RS-422-A, RS-485 and several CCITT
recommendations.
The SN751177 and SN751178 driver outputs
provide limiting for both positive and negative
currents and thermal shutdown protection from
line fault conditions on the transmission bus line.

The receiver features high input impedance of
12 kQ, an input sensitivity of ±200 mV over a
common-mode input voltage range of -12 V to
12 V and typical input hysteresis of 50 mY.
Fail-safe design ensures that if the receiver inputs
are open, the receiver outputs will always be high.
The SN751177 and SN751178 are characterized
for operation from -20·C to 85·C.

MC145406

The SN65C1406 and SN75C1406 are low-power
BI-MOS devices containing three independent
drivers and receivers that are used to interface
data terminal equipment (DTE) with data
circuit-terminating equipment (DCE). This device
is designed to conform to Standards ANSII
EIA-232-D-1986 (which supersedes RS-232-C).
The drivers and receivers of the SN65C1406 and
SN75C1406 are similar to those of the SN75C188
quadruple driver and SN75C189A quadruple
receiver, respectively. The drivers have a
controlled output slew rate that is limited to a
maximum of 30 VlIJ$ and the receivers have filters
that reject input noise pulses of shorter than 1 IJ$.
Both these features eliminate the need for
external components.

INPUTS

The SN751730 triple line driver/receiver is
specifically deSigned to meet the input/output
interface specifications for IBM System 360/370.
It is also compatible with standard TTL logiC and
supply voltage levels.

01

All the driver inputs and receiver outputs are in
conventional TTL configuration and the gating can
be used during power-up and power-down
sequences to ensure that no noise is introduced to
the line, by pulling either DE1 or DE2 to a low level.

EACH RECEIVER

The low-impedance emitter-follower driver
outputs of the SN751730 will drive terminated
lines such as coaxial cable or twisted pair. Having
the outputs uncommitted allows wired-OR logiC to
be performed in party-line applications. Output
short-circuit protection is provided by an internal
clamping network that turns on when the output
voltage drops below approximately 2.5 V.
An open line will affect the receiver input as would
a low-level input voltage.

description
The SN75LV4735t is a low-power 3.3·V multichannel RS232 line driver/receiver. It includes three independent
RS232 drivers and five independent RS232 receivers. It is designed to operate off of a single 3.3-V supply and
has an internal switched-capacitor voltage converter to generate the RS232 output levels. The SN75LV4735
provides a single integrated circuit and single 3.3-V supply interface between the asynchronous
communications element (ACE or UARl) and the serial port connector of the data terminal equipment (DTE).
This device has been designed to conform to standard ANSI/EIA-232-D-1986.
The switched-capacitor voltage converter of the SN75LV4735 uses four small external capacitors to generate
the positive and negative voltages required by EIA-232 line drivers from a single 3.3-V input. The drivers feature
output slew-rate limiting to eliminate the need for external filter capacitors. The receivers can accept ±30 V
without damage.
The device also features a reduced power or standby mode that cuts the quiescent power to the integrated
circuits when not transmitting data between the CPU and peripheral equipment. The STBY input is driven high
for standby (reduced power) mode and driven low for normal operating mode. When in the standby mode, all
driver outputs (DIN1-3) and receiver outputs (ROUT1-3) are in a high-impedance state. If the standby feature
is not used in an application, STBY should be tied to GND.
The SN75LV4735 has been designed using LinBiCMOS™ technology and cells contained in the Texas
Instruments LinASIC™ library. The SN75LV4735 is characterized for operation from Q·C to 70·C.

description
The uA9636AC is a dual single-ended line driver
designed to meet EIA Standards RS-423-A and
RS-232-C and Federal Standard 1030. The slew
rates of both amplifiers are controlled by a single
external resistor, Rws, connected between the
wave-shape-control (W-S) terminal and GND.
Output current limiting is provided. Inputs are
compatible with TTL and CMOS and are diode
protected against negative transients. This device
operates from ± 12 V and is supplied in an 8-pin
package.

t This symbol is in accordance with ANSI/IEEE SId 91-1984 and
IEC Publication 617-12.

The TL16C450 is a CMOS version of an asynchronous communications element (ACE). It typically functions
in a microcomputer system as a serial input/output interface.
The TL16C450 performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data received from a peripheral device or modem and
parallel-to-serial conversion on data received from its CPU. The CPU can read and report on the status of the

description (continued)
ACE at any point in the ACE's operation. Reported status information includes: the type of transfer operation
in progress, the status of the operation, and any erro~ conditions encountered.
The TL16C450 ACE includes a programmable, on-board, baud rate generator. This generator is capable of
dividing a reference clock input by divisors from 1 to (216 -1) and producing a 16 X clock for driving the internal
transmitter logic. Provisions are also included to use this 16 X clock to drive the receiver logic. Also included
in the ACE is a complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system that may be software
tailored to the user's requirements to minimize the computing required to handle the communications link.

DESCRIPTION

I

Register select. Three inputs used during read and write operations to select the ACE register to read from
or write to. Refer to Table 1 for register addresses. also refer to the address strobe (ADS) signal description.
Address strobe. When ADS Is active (low). the register select signals (AO, AI, and A2) and chip select
signals (OSO, CS I, CS2) drive the internal select logic directly; when high, the register select and chip select
signals are held in the state they were In when the low-to-high transition of ADS occurred.
Baud out. 16 X clock signal for the transmitter section of the ACE. The clock rate is established by the
reference oscillator frequency divided by a divisor specified by the baud generator divisor latches.
BAUDOUT may also be used for the receiver section by tying this output to the RCLK input.

Une printer autofeed. This open-drain line provides the line printer with a low signal when
continuous-form paper is to be autofed to the printer. An internal pullup is provided.
Bus buffer output. This output Is active (high) when the CPU is reading data. When active. this output
can be used to disable an external transceiver.
Une printer busy. This is an input line from the line printer that goes high when the line printer is not ready
to accept data.
External clock. Connects the ACE to the main timing reference.
Chip selects. Each chip select enables read and write operations to Its respective channel. CSO and
CS1 select serial channels 0 and 1. respectively. and CS2 selects the parallel port.

Clear to send. CTS is an active-low modem status signal whose state can be checked by reading bit
4 (CTS) of the modem status register. Bit 0 (DCTS) of the modem status register indicates that this signal
has changed state since the last read from ·the modem status register. If the modem status interrupt is
enabled when CTS changes state. an interrupt is generated.

I/O

Data bus. Eight 3-state data lines provide a bidirectional path for data, control. and status Information
between the TL16C451{TL16C452 and the CPU. DBO is the least significant bit (LSB).

I

Data set ready. DSR is an active-low modem status signal whose state can be checked by reading
bit 5 (DSR) ofthe modem status register. Bit 1 (DDSR) of the modem status register Indicates that this
Signal has changed state since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status
Interrupt is enabled when the DSR changes state. an interrupt Is generated.

Data terminal ready. When active Oow), DTR Informs a modem or data set that the ACE is ready to
establish communication. DTR is placed in the active state by setting the DTR bit of the modem control
register to a high level. DTR is placed in the Inactive state either as a result of a reset or during loop mode
operation or resetting bit 0 (DTA) of the modem control register.

Une printer error. This is an input line from the line printer. The line printer reports an error by holding
this line low during the error condition.
Une printer initialize. This open-drain line provides the line printer with a signal that allows the line printer
initialization routine to be started. An internal pullup is provided.
Interrupt. INTn is an active-high 3-state output that is enabled by bit 3 of the MCR. When active. INTn
Informs the CPU that the ACE has an Interrupt to. be serviced. Four conditions that cause an Interrupt
to be issued are: a receiver error, received data Is available. the transmitter holding register is empty,
and an enabled modem status interrupt. The INTn output is reset Oow) either when the Interrupt Is
serviced or as a result of a reset.
Printer port interrupt. This signal is an active-high 3-state output generated by the positive transition of
ACK. It Is enabled by bit 4 of the write control register.

Parallel data output enable. When low, this signal enables the write data register to the PDD-PD7Iines.
A high puts the PDO-PD7Iines in the high-impedance state allowing them to be used as inputs. LPTOE

Parallel data bits (0-7). These eight lines provide a byte-wide input or output port to the system. The
eight lines are held in a high-impedance state when LPTOE is high.
Line printer paper empty. This is an input line from the line printer that goes high when the printer runs
out of paper.
Reset. When active 60w), RESET clears most ACE registers and sets the state of various output
signals. Refer to Table 2.
Ring indicator. RI is an active-low modem status signal whose state can be checked by reading bit 6
(RI) of the modem status register. Bit 2 (TERI) of the modem status register indicates that the RI input
has transftioned from a low to a high state since the last read from the modem status register. If the
modem status interrupt is enabled when this transition occurs, an interrupt is generated.
Receive line signal detect. RLSDO is an active-low modem status signal whose state can be checked
by reading bit 7 ofthe modem status register. Bit 3 (DRLSD) ofthe modem status register indicates that
this signal has changed state since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status
interrupt is enabled when RLSDO changes state, an interrupt is generated. This bit is low when a data
carrier is detected.
Request to send. When active (low), this signal informs the modem or data set that the ACE is ready
to transmit data. RTS is set to Its active state by setting the RTS modem control register bit and is set
to its inactive (high) state either as a result of a reset or during loop mode operations or by resetting bit
1 (RTS) of the modem control register.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
receiver buffer register (RBR)
The ACE receiver section consists of a receiver shift register and a receiver buffer register. Timing is supplied
by the 16 X receiver clock (RCLK). Receiver section cohtrol is a function of the ACE line control register.
The ACE receiver shift register receives serial data from the serial input (SIN) pin. The receiver shift register
then converts the data to a parallel form and loads it into the receiver buffer register. When a character is placed
in the receiver buffer register and the received data available interrupt is enabled, an interrupt is generated. This
interrupt is cleared when the data is read out of the receiver buffer register.

transmitter holding register (THR)
The ACE transmitter section consists of a transmitter holding register and a transmitter shift register. Timing is
supplied by the baud out (BAUOQUT) clock Signal. Transmitter section control is a function of the ACE line
control register.
.
The ACE transmitter holding register receives data off the internal data bus and, when the shift register is idle,
moves it into the transmitter shift register. The transmitter shift register serializes the data and outputs it at the
serial output (SOUl). If the transmitter holding register is empty and the transmitter holding register empty
(THRI:) interrupt is enabled, an interrupt is generated. This interrupt is cleared when a character is loaded into
the register.

interrupt enable register (IER)
The interrupt enable register enables each ofthe four types of interrupts (refer to Table 4) and the INTRPT output
signal in response to an interrupt generation. The interrupt enable register can also be used to disable the
interrupt system by setting bits 0 through 3 to logic O. The contents of this register are summarized in Table 3
and are described below.
Bit O. This bit, when set to logic 1, enables the received data available interrupt.
Bit 1. This bit, when set to logic 1, enables the transmitter holding register empty interrupt.
Bit 2. This bit, when set to logic 1, enables the receiver line status interrupt.
Bit 3. This bit, when set to logic 1, enables the modem status interrupt.
Bits 4 thru 7. Bits 4 through 7 in the interrupt enable register are not used and are always set to logic O.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

interrupt identification register (IIR)
The ACE has an on-Chip interrupt generation and prioritization capability that permits a flexible interface with
most microprocessors.
The ACE provides four prioritized levels of interrupts:
Priority 1 Priority 2 Priority 3 Priority 4 -

Receiver line status (highest priority)
Receiver data ready
Transmitter holding register empty
Modem status (lowest priority)

When an interrupt is generated, the interrupt identification register indicates that an interrupt is pending and the
type of that interrupt in its three least significant bits (bits 0, 1, and 2). The contents of this register are
summarized in Table 3 and described in Table 4.
Bit O. This bit can be used either in a hardwire prioritized or polled interrupt system. If this bit is a logic 0, an
interrupt is pending. When bit 0 is a logic 1, no interrupt is pending.
Bits 1 and 2. These two bits are used to identify the highest priority interrupt pending as indicated in Table 4.
Bits 3 thru 7. Bits 3 through 7 in the interrupt idendtification register are not used and are always set at logic O.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
line control register (LCR)
The system programmer controls the format of the asynchronous data communication exchange through the
line control register. In addition, the programmer is able to retrieve, inspect, and modify the contents ofthe line
control register; this eliminates the need for separate storage of the line characteristics in system memory. The
contents of this register are summarized in Table 3 and are described below.
Bits 0 and 1. These two bits specify the number of bits in each transmitted or received serial character. These
bits are encoded as follows:
Bit 1

Bit 0

Bit 2. This bit specifies either one, one and one-half, or two stop bits in each transmitted character. If bit 2 is a
logic 0, one stop bit is generated in the data. If bit 2 is a logic 1, the number of stop bits generated is dependent
on the word length selected with bits 0 and 1. The number of stop bits generated, in relation to word length and
bit 2, is as follows:

Bit 3. This bit is the parity enable bit. When bit 3 is a logic 1, a parity bit is generated in transmitted data between
the last data word bit and the firSt stop bit. In received data, if bit 3 is a logic 1, parity is checked. When bit 3 is
a logic 0, no parity is generated or checked.
Bit 4. Bit 4 is the even parity select bit. When parity is enabled by bit 3: a logic 1 in bit 4 produces even parity
(an even number of logic is in the data and parity bits) and a logic 0 in bit 4 produces odd parity (an'odd number
of logic 1s).
Bit 5. This is the stick parity bit. When bits 3, 4, and 5 are logic 1s, the parity bit is transmitted and checked as
a logic O. When bits 3 and 5 are logic 1s and bit 4 is a logic 0, the parity bit is transmitted and checked as a logic 1,
Bit 6. This bit is the break control bit. Bit 6 is set to a logic 1 to force a break condition, i.e, a condition where
the serial output (SOUT) pin is forced to the spacing (logic 0) state. When bit 6 is set to a logic 0, the break
condition is disabled. The break condition has no effect on the transmitter logic, it only effects the serial output.
Bit 7. This bit is the divisor latch access bit (OLAB). Bit 7 must be set to a logic 1 to access the divisor latches
of the baud generator during a read or write. Bit 7 must be set to a logic 0 during a read or write to access the
receiver buffer, the transmitter holding register, or the interrupt enable register.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
modem control register (MCR)
The modem control register is an 8-bit register that controls an interface with a modem, data set, or peripheral
device that is emulating a modem. The contents of this register are summarized in Table 3 and are described
below.
Bit O. Bit 0 (OTR) controls the data terminal ready (OTR) output. Setting this bitto a logic 1 forces the OTR output
to its active state (low). When bit 0 is set to a logic 0, OTR goes high.
Bit 1. Bit 1 (RTS) controls the request to send (RTS) output in a manner identical to Bit O's control over the OTR
output.
Bit 2. Bit 2 (OUT 1) is a reserved location used only in the loopback mode.
Bit 3. Bit 3 (OUT 2) controls the output enable for the interrupt signal. When set to a logic 1, the interrupt is
enabled. When bit 3 is set to a logic 0, the interrupt is disabled.
Bit 4. Bit 4 provides a localloopback feature for diagnostic testing of the ACE. When this bit is set to a logic high,
the following occurs:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

The transmitter serial output (SOUT) is set high.
The receiver serial input (SIN) is disconnected.
The output of the transmitter shift register is looped back into the receiver shift register input.
The four modem status inputs (CTS, OSR, RLSO, andAi') are disconnected.
The modem control register bits (OTR, RTS, OUT1, and OUT2) are connected to the modem status
register bits (OSR, CTS, RI, and RLSO), respectively.
6. The four modem control output pins are forced to their inactive states (high).

In the diagnostic mode, data that is transmitted is immediately received. This allows the processor to verify the
transmit- and receive-data paths to the ACE. The receiver and transmitter interrupts are fully operational. The
modem control interrupts are also operational but the modem control interrupt sources are now the lower four
bits of the modem control register instead of the four modem control inputs. All interrupts are still controlled by
the interrupt enable register.
Bit 5 through 7. These bits are set to logic O.

line status register (LSR)t
The line status register provides information to the CPU concerning the status of data transfers. The contents
of this register are summarized in Table 3 and are described below.
Bit O. Bit 0 is the data ready (DR) indicator for the receiver. This bit is set to a logic 1 condition whenever a
complete incoming character has been received and transferred into the receiver buffer register and is reset
to logic 0 by reading the receiver buffer register.
Bit 1*. Bit 1 is the overrun error (OE) indicator. When this bit is set to logic 1, it indicates that before the character
in the receiver buffer register was read, it was overwritten by the next character transferred into the register. The
OE indicator is reset every time the CPU reads the contents of the line status register.
Bit 2*. Bit 2 is the parity error (PE) indicator. When this bit is setto logic 1, it indicatesthatthe parity ofthe received
data character does not match the parity selected in the line control register (bit 4). The PE bit is reset every
time the CPU reads the contents of the line status register.
Bit 3*. Bit 3 is the framing error (FE) indicator. When this bit is set to logic 1, it indicates that the received character
did not have a valid (logic 1) Stop bit. The FE bit is reset every time the CPU reads the contents of the line status
register.
t The line status register is intended for read operations only; writing to this register is not recommended outside of a factory testing environment.

*Bns 1 through 4 are the error conditions that produce a receiver line status interrupt.

line status register {LSR)t (continued)
Bit 4*. Bit 4 is the break interrupt (BI) indicator. When this bit is set to logic 1, it indicates that the received data
input was held in the logic 0 state for longer than a full-word transmission time. A full-word transmission time
is defined as the total time of the start, data, parity, and stop bits. The BI bit is reset every time the CPU reads
the contents of the line status register.
Bit S. Bit S is the transmitter holding register empty (THRE) indicator. This bit is set to a logic 1 condition when
the transmitter holding register is empty, indicating that the ACE is ready to accept a new character. If the THRE
interrupt is enabled when the THRE bit is a logic 1, then an interrupt is generated. THRE is set to a logic 1 when
the contents of the transmitter holding register are transferred to the transmitted shift register. This bit is reset
to logic 0 concurrent with the loading of the transmitter holding register by the CPU.
Bit 6. Bit 6 is the transmitter empty (TEMl) indicator, This bit is set to a logic 1 when the transmitter holding
register and the transmitter shift register are both empty. When either the transmitter holding register or the
transmitter shift register contains a data character, the TEMT bit is reset to logic O.
Bit 7. This bit is always reset to logic O.
t The line status register is intended for read operations only; writing to this register is not recommended outside of a factory testing environment.

*

Bits 1 through 4 are the error conditions that produce a receiver line status interrupt.

modem status register (MSR)
The modem status register is an 8-bit register that provides information about the current state of the control
lines from the modem, data set, or peripheral device to the CPU. Additionally, four bits of this register provides
change information; when a control input from the modem changes state the appropriate bit is set to logic 1.
All four bits are reset to logic 0 when the CPU reads the modem status register. The contents of this register
are summarized in Table 3 and are described below.
Bit O. Bit 0 is the delta clear to send (DCTS) indicator. This bit indicates that the CTS input has changed state
since the last time it was read by the CPU. When this bit is a logiC 1 and the modem status Interrupt is enabled,
a modem status interrupt is generated.
Bit 1. Bit 1 is the delta data set ready (DDSR) indicator. This bit indicates that the DSR input has changed state
since the last time it was read by the CPU. When this bit is a logiC 1 and the modem status Interrupt is enabled,
a modem status interrupt is generated.
Bit 2. Bit 2 is the trailing edge of ring indicator (TERI) detector. This bit indicates that the RI input to the chip has
changed from a low to a high state. When this bit is a logiC 1 and the modem status Interrupt is enabled, a modem
status interrupt is generated.
Bit 3. Bit 3 is the delta receive line signal detect (DRLSD) indicator. This bit indicates that the RLSD input to the
chip has changed state since the last time it was read by the CPU. When this bit is a logic 1 and the modem
status interrupt is enabled, a modem status interrupt is generated.
Bit 4. Bit 4 is the complement of the clear to send (CTS) input, If Bit 4 (loop) of the modem control register is
set to a logic 1, this bit is equivalent to the modem control register bit 1 (RTS).
BitS. Bit S is the complement of the data set ready (DSR) input. If Bit 4 (loop) of the modem control register is
set to a logic 1, this bit is equivalent to the modem control register bit 0 (DTR).
Bit 6. Bit 6 is the complement of the ring indicator (RI) input. If Bit 4 (loop) of the modem control register is set
to a logic 1, this bit is equivalent to the modem control registers bit 2 (OUT 1).
Bit 7. Bit 7 is the complement of the receive line signal detect (RLSD) input. If Bit 4 (loop) of the modem control
register is set to a logic 1, this bit is equivalent to the modem control registers bit 3 (OUT 2).

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
scratch register (SCR)
The scratch register is an a-bit register that is intended for programmer use as a scratchpad, in the sense that
it will temporarily hold programmer data without affecting any other ACE operation.

programmable baud generator
The ACE contains a programmable baud generator that takes a clock input in the range between dc and 9 MHz
and divides it by a divisor in the range between 1 and 2 16-1. The output frequency of the baud generator is
sixteen times (16 X) the baud rate. The formula for the divisor is:
divisor #

=ClK frequency input + (desired baud rate X 16)

Two a-bit registers, called divisor latches, are used to store the divisor in a 16-bit binary format. These divisor
latches must be loaded during initialization of the ACE in order to ensure desired operation of the baud
generator. When either of the divisor latches is loaded, a 16-bit baud counter is also loaded to prevent long
counts on initial load. For baud rates of 38.4 kilobits per second and below, the error obtained is very small. The
accuracy of the selected baud rate is dependent on the selected crystal frequency.

interrupt control logic
The interrupt control logic is shown in Figure 10.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
receiver buffer register (RBR)
The ACEs receiver section consists of a receiver shift register (RSR) and a receiver buffer register (RBR), The
RBR is actually a 16-byte FIFO, liming is supplied by the 16 X Receiver Clock (RCLK). Receiver section control
is a function of the ACEs line control register.
The ACEs RSR receives serial data from the serial input (SIN) pin. The RSR then deserializes the data and
moves it into the RBR FIFO. In the TL16C450 mode, when a character is placed in the receiver buffer register
and the received data available interrupt is enabled, an interrupt is generated. This interrupt is cleared when
the data is read out of the receiver buffer register. in the FI FO mode, the interrupts are generated based on the
control setup in the FIFO control register.
.

transmitter holding register (THR)
The ACEs transmitter section consists of a transmitter holding register (THR) and a transmitter shift register
(TSR). The THR is actually a 16-byte FIFO. liming is suppled by the baud out (BAUDOUT) clock signal.
Transmitter section control is a function of the ACE's line control register.
The ACE THR receives data off the internal data bus and, when the shift register is idle, moves it into the TSR.
The TSR serializes the data and outputs it at the serial output (SOUT). In the TL16C450 mode, if the THR is
empty and the transmitter holding register empty (THRE) interrupt is enabled, an interrupt is generated. This
interrupt is cleared when a character is loaded into the register. In the FIFO mode, the interrupts are generated
based on the control setup in the FIFO control register.

interrupt enable register (IER)
The Interrupt enable register enables each ofthe five types of interrupts (refer to Table 4) and the I NTRPT output
signal in response to an interrupt generation. The interrupt enable register can also be used to disable the
interrupt system by setting bits 0 through 3 to logic O. The contents of this register are summarized in Table3
and are described below.
Bit O. This bit, when set to logic 1, enables the received data available interrupt.
Bit 1. This bit, when set to logic 1, enables the transmitter holding register empty interrupt.
Bit 2. This bit, when set to logic 1, enables the receiver line status interrupt.
Bit 3. This bit, when set to logic 1, enables the modem status interrupt.
Bits 4 thru 7. Bits 4 through 7 in the interrupt enable register are not used and are always set to logic O.

FIFO control register
The FIFO control register (FCR) is a write-only register at the same location as the !lR, which is a read-only
register. The FCR is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the receiver FIFO trigger level, and select
the type of DMA signalling.
Bit O. FCRO, when set to logic 1, enables the transmit and receive FIFOs. This bit must be a 1 when other FCR
bits are written to or they will not be programmed. Changing this bit clears the FIFOs.
Bit 1. FCR1, when set to logic 1, clears all bytes in the receiver FIFO and resets its counter logic to O. The shift
register is not cleared .. The 1 that is written to this bit position is self clearing.
Bit 2. FCR2, when setto logic 1, clears all bytes in the transmit FIFO and resets its counter to O. The shift register
is not cleared. The 1 that is written to this bit position is self clearing.
Bit 3. if FCRO is a 1, setting FCR3 to a i causes the RXRDY and T)(RDY to change from mode 0 to mode 1.

interrupt identification register (IIR)
The ACE has an on-chip interrupt generation and prioritization capability that permits a flexible interface with
most popular microprocessors.
The ACE provides four prioritized levels of interrupts:
Priority 1-Receiver line status (highest priority)
Priority 2-Receiver data ready or receiver character timeout
Priority 3-Transmitter holding register empty
Priority 4-Modem status (lowest priority)
When an interrupt is generated, the interrupt identification register indicates that an interrupt is pending and
the type of that interrupt in its three least significant bits (bits 0, 1, and 2). The contents of this register are
summarized in Table 3 and described in Table 4. Detail on each bit are as follows:
Bit O. This bit can be used either in a hardwire-prioritized, or polled interrupt system. If this bit is a logic 0, an
interrupt is pending. When bit 0 is a logic 1, no interrupt is pending.
Bits 1 and 2. These two bits are used to identify the highest priority interrupt pending, as indicated in Table 4.
Bit 3. This bit is always 0 in the TL16C450 mode. In FIFO mode, this bit is set with bit 2 to indicate that a timeout
interrupt is pending.
Bits 4 thru 5. These two bits are not used and are always set at logic

o.

Bits 6 and 7. These two bits are always 0 in the TL16C450 mode. They are set when bit 0 ofthe FIFO control
register is equal to 1.

control register; this eliminates the need for separate storage of the line characteristics in system memory. The
contents of this register are summarized in Table 3 and described below.

Bit 2. This bit specifies either one, one and one-half, or two stop bits in each transmitted character. If bit 2 is a
logic 0, one stop bit is generated in the data. If bit 2 is a logic 1, the number of stop bits generated is dependent
on the word length selected with bits 0 and 1. The receive clocks the first stop bit only, regardless of the number
of stop bits selected. The number of stop bits generated, in relation to word length and bit 2, is shown in the
following.

Bit 3. This bit is the parity enable bit. When bit 3 is a logic 1, a parity bit is generated in transmitted data between
the last data word bit and the first stop bit. In received data, if bit 3 is a logic 1, parity is checked. When bit 3 is
a logiC 0, no parity is generated or checked.
Bit 4. Bit 4 is the even parity select bit. When parity is enabled by bit 3: a logic 1 in bit 4 produces even parity
(an even number of logic 1's in the data and parity bits) and a logic 0 in bit 4 produces odd parity (an odd number
of logic 1's).
Bit 5. This is the stick parity bit. When bits 3, 4, and 5 are logic 1s, the parity bit is transmitted and checked as
a logic O. When bits 3 and 5 are logic 1's and bit 4 is a logic 0, the parity bit is transm itted and checked as a logic 1.
If bit 5 is a logiC 0, stick parity is disabled.
Bit 6. This bit is the break control bit. Bit 6 is set to a logic 1 to force a break condition, i.e., a condition where
the serial output (SOUT) pin is forced to the spacing (logic 0) state. When bit 6 is set to a logic 0, the break
condition is disabled. The break condition has no effect on the transmitter logic; it only effects the serial output.
Bit 7. This bit is the divisor latch access bit (OLAB). Bit 7 must be set to Ii logic 1 to access the divisor latches
of the baud generator during a read or write. Bit 7 must be set to a logic 0 during a read or write to access the
receiver buffer, the transmitter holding register, or the interrupt enable register.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
modem control register (MCR)
The modem control register is an a-bit register that controls an interface with a modem, data set, or peripheral
device that is emulating a modem. The contents of this register are summarized in Table 3 and are described
below.
Bit O. Bit 0 (DTR) controls the data terminal ready (DTR) output. Setting this bit to a logic 1 forces the DTR output
to its low state. When bit 0 is set to a logic 0, DTR goes high.
Bit 1. Bit 1 (RTS) controls the request to send (RTS) output in a manner identical to Bit O's control over the DTR
output.
Bit 2. Bit 2 (OUT 1) controls the output 1 (OUT 1) Signal, a user-designated output Signal, in a manner identical
to bit O's control over the DTR output.
Bit 3. Bit 3 (OUT 2) controls the uutput 2 (OUT 2) Signal, a user-designated output Signal, in a manner identical
to bit O's control over the DTR output.
Bit 4. Bit 4 provides a localloopback feature for diagnostic testing ofthe ACE. When this bit is set to a logic high,
the following occurs:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

The transmitter serial output (SOUT) is set high.
The receiver serial input (SIN) is disconnected.
The output of the transmitter shift register is looped back into the receiver shift register input.
The four modem control inputs (CTS, DSR, DCD, and RI) are disconnected.
The four modem control outputs (DTR, RTS, OUT 1, and OUT 2) are internally connected to the four
modem control inputs.
'
6. The four modem control output pins are forced to their inactive states (high).

In the diagnostic mode, data that is transmitted is immediately received. This allows the processor to verify the
transmit- and receive-data paths to the ACE. The receiver and transmitter interrupts are fully operational. The
modem control interrupts are also operational but the modem control interrupt's sources are now the lower four
bits of the modem control register instead of the four modem control inputs. All interrupts are still controlled by
the interrupt enable register.
Bit 5 through 7. These bits are permanently set to logic O.

line status register (LSR)t
The line status r~gister provides information to the CPU concerning the status of data transfers. The contents
of this register are described below and summarized in Table 3.
Bit O. Bit 0 is the data ready (DR) indicator for the receiver. This bit is set to a logic 1 condition whenever a
complete incoming character has been received and transferred into the receiver buffer register orthe FIFO and
is reset to logic 0 by reading all of the data in the receiver buffer register or the FIFO.
Bit 1:t. Bit 1 is the overrun error (OE) indicator. When this bit issetto logic 1, it indicates that before the character
in the receiver buffer register was read, it was overwritten by the next character transferred into the register. The
OE indicator is reset every time the CPU reads the contents of the line status register. If the FIFO mode data
continues to fill the FIFO beyond the trigger level, an overrun error will occur only after the FIFO is full and the
next character has been completely received in the shift register. OE is indicated to the CPU as soon as it
happens. The character in the shift register is overwritten but is not transferred to the FIFO.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
line status register (LSR) (continued)
Bit 2*·. Bit 2 is the parity error (PE) indicator. When this bit is set to logic 1, it indicates that the parity of the
received data character does not match the parity selected in the line control register (bit 4). The PE bit is reset
every time the CPU reads the contents of the line status register. In the FI FO mode, this error is associated with
the particular character in the FIFO to which it applies. This error is revealed to the CPU when its associated
character is at the top ofthe FIFO.
Bit 3*. Bit 3 is the framing error (FE) indicator. When this bit is set to logic 1, it indicates that the received character
did not have a valid (logic 1) stop bit. The FE bit is reset every time the CPU reads the contents ofthe line status
register. In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the particular character in the FIFO to which it applies.
This error is revealed to the CPU when its associated character is at the top of the FI FO. The ACE will try to
resynchronize after a framing error. To accomplish this, it is assumed that the framing error is due to the next
start bit. The ACE then samples this start bit twice and then accepts the input data.
\
Bit 4*. Bit 4 is the break interrupt (BI) indicator. When this bit is set to logic 1, it indicates that the received data
input was held in the logic 0 state for longer than a full-word transmission time. A full-word transmission time
is defined as the total time of the start, data, parity, and Stop bits. The B1 bit is reset every time the CPU reads
the contents of the line status register. In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the particular character
in the FIFO to which it applies. This error is revealed to the CPU when its associated character is at the top of
the FIFO. When break occurs, only on 0 character is loaded into the FIFO. The next character transfer is enabled
after SIN goes to the marking state and receives the next valid start bit.
Bit 5. Bit 5 is the transmitter holding register empty (THRE) indicator. This bit is set to logic 1 when the transmitter
holding register is empty, indicating that the ACE is ready to accept a new character. If the THRE interrupt is
enabled when the THRE bit is a logic 1, then an interrupt is generated. THRE is set to a logic 1 when the contents
of the transmitter holding register are transferred to the transmitted shift register. This bit is reset to logic 0
concurrent with the loading of the transmitter holding register by the CPU. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set when
the transmit FIFO is empty; it is cleared when at least 1 byte is written to the transmit FIFO.
Bit 6. Bit 6 is the transmitter empty (TEMT) indicator. This bit is set to a logic 1 when the transmitter holding
register and the transmitter shift register are both empty. When either the transmitter holding register or the
transmitter shift register contains a data character, the TEMT bit is reset to logic O. In the FIFO mode, this bit
is set to a 1 when the transmitter FIFO and shift register are both empty.
Bit 7. In the TL16C550A, this bit is always reset to logic O. In the TL16C450 mode, this bit is always a O. In the
FIFO mode, LSR7 is set when there is at least one parity, framing, or break error in the FIFO. It is cleared when
the microprocessor reads the LSR and there are no subsequent errors in the FIFO.

modem status register (MSR)
The modem status register is an 8-bit register that provides information about the current state of the control
lines from the modem, data set, or peripheral device to the CPU. Additionally, four bits of this register provides
change information; when a control input from the modem changes state, the appropriate bit is set to logic 1.
All four bits are reset to logic 0 when the CPU reads the modem status register. The contents of this register
are summarized in Table 3 and are described below.
Bit O. Bit 0 is the change in clear to send (DCTS) indicator. This bit indicates that the CTS input has changed
state since the last time it was read by the CPU. When this 'bit is a logic 1 and the modem status interrupt is
enabled, a modem status interrupt is generated.

; Bits 1 through 4 are the error condHions that produce a receiver line status interrupt.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
modem status register (MSR) (continued)
Bit 1. Bit 1 is the change in data set ready (DDSR) indicator. This bit indicates that the DSR input has changed
state since the last time it was read by the CPU. When this bit is a logic 1 and the modem status interrupt is
enabled, a modem status interrupt is generated.
Bit 2. Bit 2 is the trailing edge of ring indicator (TERI) detector. This bit indicates that the RI input to the chip has
changed from a low to a high state. When this bit is a logic 1 and the modem status interrupt is enabled, a modem
status interrupt is generated.
Bit 3. Bit 3 is the change in data carrier detect (DDCD) indicator. This bit indicates that the DCD input to the chip
has changed state since the last time it was read by the CPU. When this bit is a logic 1 and the modem status
interrupt is enabled, a modem status interrupt is generated.
Bit 4. Bit 4 is the compliment of the clear to send (CTS) input. If bit 4 (loop) of the modem control register is set
to a logic 1, this bit is equivalent to the modem control register bit 1 (RTS).
Bit 5. Bit 5 is the compliment of the data set ready (DSR) input. If bit 4 (loop) of the modem control register is
set to a logic 1, this bit is equivalent to the modem control register bit 1 (DTR).
Bit 6. Bit 6 is the com pliment of the ring indicator (RI) input. If bit 4 (loop) of the modem control register is set
to a logic 1, this bit is equivalent to the modem control registers bit 2 (OUT 1).
Bit 7. Bit 7 is the compliment of the data carrier detect (DCD) input. If bit 4 (loop) otthe modem control register
is set to a logic 1, this bit is equivalent to the modem control registers bit 3 (OUT 2).

scratch register (SCR)
The scratch register is an 8-bit register that is intended for the programmer's use as a scratch pad in the sense
that it will temporarily hold the programmer's data without affecting any other ACE operation.

programmable baud generator
The ACE contains a programmable baud generator that takes a clock input in the range between dc and 8 MHz
and divides it by a divisor in the range between 1 and 216-1. The output frequency of the baud generator is
sixteen times (16 X) the baud rate. The formula for the divisor is:
divisor # = XIN frequency input + (desired baud rate X 16)
Two 8-bit registers, called divisor latches, are used to store the divisor in a 16-bit binary format. These divisor
latches must be loaded during initialization of the ACE in order to ensure desired operation of the baud
generator. When either of the divisor latches is loaded, a 16-bit baud counter is also loaded to prevent long
counts on initial load.
Tables 5 and 6, which follow, illustrate the use ofthe baud generator with crystal frequencies of 1.8432 MHz and
3.072 MHz, respectively. For baud rates of 38.4 kilobits per second and below, the error obtained is very small.
The accuracy of the selected baud rate is dependent on the selected crystal frequency.
Refer to Figure 10 for examples of typical clock circuits.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
FIFO Interrupt-mode operation
When the receiver FIFO and receiver interrupts are enabled (FCRO = 1,IERO = 1) receiver interrupts will occur
as follows:
1. The receive data available interrupt will be issued to the microprocesspr when the FI FO has reached its
programmed trigger level. It will be cleared as soon as the FIFO drops below its programmed trigger
level.
2. The IIR receive data available indication also occurs when the FIFO trigger level is reached, and,likethe
interrupt, it is cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.
3. The receiver line status interrupt (IIR = 06), as before, has higher priority than the received data
available (IIR = 04) interrupt.
4. The data ready bit (LSRO) is set as soon as a character is transferred from the shift register to the
receiver FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty.
When the receiver FIFO and receiver interrupts are enabled, receiver FIFO timeout interrupts will occur as
follows:
1. FIFO timeout interrupt will occur if the following conditions exist:
a. At least one character is in the FIFO.
b. The most recent serial character received was longer than 4 continuous character times ago (if 2
stop bits are programmed, the second one is included in this time delay).
c. The most recent microprocessor read of the FIFO was longer than 4 continuous character times
ago. This will cause a maximum character received to interrupt issued delay of 160 ms at 300 baud
with 12-bit character.
2. Character times are calculated by using the RCLK input for a clock signal (this makes the delay
proportional to the baud rate).
3. When a timeout interrupt has occurred, it is cleared and the timer reset when the microprocessor reads
one character from the receiver FIFO.
4. When a timeout interrupt has not occurred, the timeout timer is reset after a new character is received or
after the microprocessor reads the receiver FIFO.
When the transmit FIFO and transmitter interrupts are enabled (FCRO =1, IER1 =1), transmit interrupts will
occur as follows:
1. The transmitter holding register interrupt (02) occurs when the transmit FIFO is empty. It is cleared as
soon as the transmitter holding register is written to (1 to 16 characters may be written to the transmit
FIFO while servicing this interrupt) or the IIR is read.
2. The transmit FIFO empty indications will be delayed 1 character time minus the last stop bit time when
the following occurs: THRE = 1 and there have not been at least two bytes at the same time in the
transmit FIFO since the last THRE = 1. The first transmitter interrupt after changing FCRO will be
immediate, if it is enabled.
Character timeout and receiver FIFO trigger level interrupts have the same priority as the current received data
available interrupt; transmit FIFO empty has the same priority as the current transmitter holding register empty
interrupt.

FIFO polled-mode operation
With FCRO =1, resetting IERO, IER1, IER2, IER3, or all four to 0 puts the ACE in the FIFO polled mode of
operation. Since the receiver and transmitter are controlled separately, either one or both can be in the polled
mode of operation.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
FIFO polled-mode operation (contin"ued)
In this mode, the user program will check receiver and transmitter status via the LSR. As stated previously:
1. LSRO will be set as long as there is one byte in the receiver FIFO.
2. LSR1 through LSR4 will specify which error(s) have occurred. Character error status is handled the
same way as when in the interrupt mode, the IIR is not affected since IER2 = O.
3. LSR5 will indicate when the transmit FIFO is empty.
4. LSR6 will indicate that both the transmit FIFO and shift registers are empty.
5. LSR7 will indicate whether there are any errors in the receiver FIFO.
There is no trigger level reached or timeout conditions indicated in the FI FO polled mode. However, the receiver
and transmit FIFO,s are still fully capable of holding characters.

description
The TL16C552 is an enhanced dual-channel version of the popular TL16C550 asynchronous communications
element (ACE). The device serves two serial inpuVoutput Interfaces simultaneously in microcomputer or
microprocessor-based systems. Each channel performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data characters
received from peripheral devices or modems and parallel-to-serial conversion on data characters transmitted
by the CPU. The complete status of each channel of the dual ACE can be read at any time during functional
operation by the CPU. The information obtained includes the type and condition of the transfer operations being
performed and the error conditions.

detailed description (continued)
Individual bits within the registers are referred to by the register mnemonic and the bit number in parenthesis.
As an example, LCR (7) refers to line control register bit 7.
The transmitter buffer register and receiver buffer register are data registers that hold from five to eight bits of
data. If less than eight data bits are transmitted, data is right justified to the LSB. Bit 0 of a data word is always
the first serial data bit received and transmitted. The ACE data registers are double buffered so that read and
write operations may be performed when the ACE is performing the parallel-to-serial or serial-to-parallel
conversion.

line-control register
The format of the data character is controlled by the line-control register. The LCR may be read. Its contents
are described below and shown in Figure 1.
LCR(O) and LCR(1) word length select bit 1:
The number of bits in each serial character is programmed as shown in Figure 1.
LCR(2) stop bit select bit 2:
LCR(2) specifies the number of stop bits in each transmitted character as shown in Figure 1. The receiver
always checks for one stop bit.
LCR(3) parity enable bit 3:
When LCR(3) is high, a parity bit between the last data word bit and stop bit is generated and checked.
LCR(4) even parity select bit 4:
When enabled, a logic one selects even parity.
LCR(5) stick parity bit 5:
When parity is enabled (LCR(3)=1). LCR(5)=1 causes the transmission and reception of a parity bit to be in
the opposite state from the value of LCR(4). This forces parity to a known state and allows the receiver to
check the parity bit in a known state.

sequence is used. no invalid characters will be transmitted because of the break:
Step 1 Load a zero byte in response to the transmitter holding register empty (THRE) status indication.
Step 2 Set the break in response to the next THRE status indication.
Step 3 Wait for the transmitter to be idle when transmitter empty status signal is set high (TEMT=1). Then
clear the break when the normal transmission has to be restored.
LCR(7) divisor latch access bit (DLAB) bit 7:
Bit 7 must be set high (logic 1) to access the divisor latches DLLand DLM ofthe baud rate generator during a

line status register
The line status register (LSR) is a single register that provides status indications. The line status register shown
in Table 2 is described below:
LSR(O) data ready (DR) bit 0:
Data ready is set high when an incoming character has been received and transferred into the receiver
buffer register or the FI FO. LSR(O) is reset low by a CPU read of the data in the receiver buffer register or the
FIFO.
LSR(1) overrun error (OE) bit 1:
Overrun error indicates that data in the receiver buffer register was not read by the CPU before the next
character was transferred into the receiver buffer register overwriting the previous character. The OE
indicator is reset whenever the CPU reads the contents ofthe line status register. An overrun error will occur
in the FIFO mode after the FIFO is full and the next character is completely received. The overrun error is
detected by the CPU on the first LSR read after it happens. The character in the shift register is not
transferred to the FIFO but it is overwritten.
LSR(2) parity error (PE) bit 2:
Parity error indicates thatthe received data character does not have the correct parity as selected by LCR(3)
and LCR(4). The PE bit is set high upon detection of a parity error and is reset low when the CPU reads the
contents ofthe LSR. In the FIFO mode, the parity error is associated with a particular character in the FIFO.
LSR(2) reflects the error when the character is at the top of the FIFO.
LSR(3) framing error (FE) bit 3:
Framing error indicates that the received character did not have a valid stop bit. LSR(3) is set high when the
stop bit following the last data bit or parity bit is detected as a zero bit (spacing level). The FE indicator is reset
low when the CPU reads the contents of the LSR.lnthe FIFO mode, the framing error is associated with a
particular character in the FIFO. LSR(3) reflects the error when the character is at the top of the FIFO.

LSR(4) break interrupt (BI) bit 4:
Break interrupt is set high when the received data input is held in the spacing (logic 0) state for longer than a
full word transmission time (start bit + data bits + parity + stop bits). The BI indicator is reset when the CPU
reads the contents ofthe line status register. In the FIFO mode, this is associated with a particular character
in the FI FO. LSR(2) reflects the BI when the break character is atthe top ofthe FI FO. The error is detected by
the CPU when its associated character is at the top of the FIFO during the first LSR read. Only one zero
character is loaded into the FIFO when BI occurs.
LSR(1) - LSR(4) are the error conditions that produce a receiver line status interrupt (priority 1 interrupt in
the interrupt identification register (IIR)) when any ofthe conditions are detected. This interrupt is enabled by
setting IER(2)=1 in the interrupt enable register.

line status register (continued)
LSR(5) transmitter holding register empty (THRE) bit 5:
THRE indicates that the ACE is ready to accept a new character for transmission. The THRE bit is set high
when a character is transferred from the transmitter holding register into the transmitter shift register. LSR(5)
is reset low by the loading ofthetransmitter holding register by the CPU. LSR(5) is not reset by a CPU read of
the LSR. In the FIFO mode when the XMIT FIFO is empty, this bit is set. It is cleared when one byte is written
to the XMIT FIFO. When the THRE interrupt is enabled by IER(1), THRE causes a priority 3 interrupt in the
IIR.lfTHRE is the interrupt source indicated in IIR, INTRPT is cleared by a read ofthe IIR.
LSR(6) transmitter empty (TEMT) bit 6:
TEMT is set high when the transmitter holding register (THR) and the transmitter shift register (TSR) are
both empty. LSR(6) is reset low when a character is loaded into the THR and remains low until the character
is transferred out of SOUT. TEMT is not reset low by a CPU read of the LSR.ln the FI FO mode, when both the
transmitter FIFO and shift register are empty, this bit is set to one.
LSR(7) RCVR FIFO error bit 7:
The LSR(7) bit is always 0 in the TL16C450 mode. In FIFO mode, it is set when at least one ofthe following
data errors is in the FIFO: parity error, framing error, or break interrupt indication. It is cleared when the CPU
reads the LSR if there are no subsequent errors in the FIFO.
NOTE: The line status register may be written. However, this function is intended only for factory test. It
should be considered as read only by applications software.

FIFO-control register
This write-only register is at the same location as the II R. It is used to enable and clear the FIFOs, set the trigger
level of the RCVR FIFO, and select the type of DMA signaling.
FCR(O) enables both the XMIT and RCVR FIFOs. All bytes in both FIFOs can be cleared by resetting FCR(O).
Data is cleared automatically from the FIFOs when changing from the FI FO mode to the TL16C450 mode and
vice versa. Programming of other FCR bits is enabled by setting FCR(O) =1.
FCR(1) =1 clears all bytes in the RCVR FIFO and resets the counter logic to O. This does not clear the shift
register.
FCR(2) =1 clears all bytes in the XMIT FI FO and resets the counter logic to O. This does not clear the shift
register.
FCR(3) =1 will change the RXRDYand TXRDY pins from mode 0 to mode 1 if FCR(O) =1.
FCR(4) - FCR(5): These two bits are reserved for future use.
FCR(6) - FCR(7): These two bits are used for setting the trigger level for the RCVR FIFO interrupt as follows:

modem-control register
The modem-control register (MCR) controls the interface with the modem or data set as described in Figure 2.
MCR can be written and read. The RTS and DTR outputs are directly controlled by their control bits in this
register. A high input asserts a low (true) at the output pins. MCR bits 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 are shown as follows:
MCR(O): When MCR(O) is set high, the DTR output is forced low. When MCR(O) is reset low, the DTR output
is forced high. The DTR output of the serial channel may be input into an inverting line driver in order to obtain
the proper polarity input at the modem or data set.
MCR(1): When MCR£) is set high, the RTS output is forced low. When MCR(1) is reset low, the RTS output
Is forced high. The RT output of the serial channel may be input into an inverting line driver to obtain the proper
polarity input at the modem or data set.
MCR(2): When MCR(2) is set high, OUT1 is forced low.
MCR(3): When MCR(3) is set high, the OUT2 output is forced low.
MCR(4): MCR(4) provides a localloopback feature for diagnostic testing ofthe channel. When MCR(4) is set
high, serial output (SOUT) is set to the marking (logiC 1) state, and the receiver data input serial input (SI N) is
disconnected. The output ofthe transmitter shift register is looped back into the receiver shift register input. The
four modem control inputs (CTS, DSR, DCD, and RI) are disconnected. The modem-control outputs (DTR, RTS,
OIUT1 , and OUT2) are internally connected to the four modem control inputs. The modem-control output pins
are forced to. their inactive state (high) on the TL16C552. In the diagnostic mode, data transmitted is immediately
received. This allows the processor to verify the transmit and receive data paths of the selected serial channel.
Interrupt control is fully operational. However, interrupts are generated by controlling the lower four MCR bits
internally. Interrupts are not generated by activity on the external pins represented by those four bits.
MCR(5) - MCR(7) are permanently set to logic O.

modem-status register
The MSR provides the CPU with status of the modem input lines from the modem or peripheral devices. The
MSR allows the CPU to read the serial channel modem signal inputs by accessing the data bus interface of the
ACE in addition to the current status of four bits of the MSR that indicate whether the modem inputs have
changed since the last reading of the MSR. The delta status bits are set high when a control input from the
modem changes state and reset low when the CPU reads the MSR.
The modem input lines are CTS, DSR, RI, and DCD. MSR(4) - MSR(7) are status indications of these lines.
A status bit = 1 indicates the input is a low. A status bit = 0 indicates the input is high. Ifthe modem-status interrupt
in the interrupt enable register is enabled (IER(3)), an interrupt is generated whenever MSR(O) - MSR(3) is set
to a one. The MSR is a priority 4 interrupt. The contents of the modem-status register are described in Table 3.
MSR(O) delta clear to send (DCTS) bit 0:
DCTS displays that the CTS input to the serial channel has changed state since it was last read by the CPU.
MSR(1) delta data set ready (DDSR) bit 1:
DDSR indicates that the DSR input to the serial channel has changed state since the last time it was read by
the CPU.
MSR(2) trailing edge of ring indicator (TERI) bit 2:
TERI indicates that the RI input to the serial channel has changed state from low to high since the last time it
was read by the CPU. High-to-Iow transitions on RI do not activate TERI.
MSR(3) delta data carrier detect (DDCD) bit 3:
DDCD indicates that the DCD input to the serial channel has changed state since the last time it was read by
the CPU.
MSR(4) clear to send (CTS) bit 4:
CTS is the complement of the CTS input from the modem indicating to the serial channel that the modem is
ready to receive data from the serial channel's transmitter output (SOUT). Ifthe serial channel is in the loop
mode ((MCR(4)=1), MSR(4) reflects the value of RTS in the MCR.
MSR(5) data set ready (DSR) bit 5:
DSR is the complement of the DSR input from the modem to the serial channel that indicates that the
modem is ready to provide received data to the serial channel receiver circuitry. Ifthe channel is in the loop
mode (MCR(4)=1), MSR(5) reflects the value of DTR in the MCR.

MSR(6) ring indicator (RI) bit 6:
RI is the complement of the RI input, If the channel is in the loop mode (MCR(4)=1), MSR(6) reflects the
value of rnJT1 in the MCR.
MSR(7) data carrier detect (DCD) bit 7:
Data carrier detect indicates the status of the data carrier detect (OeD) input. If the channel is in the loop
mode (MCR(4)=1), MSR(7) reflects the value of OUT2 in the MCR.
Reading the MSR register clears the delta modem status indications but has no effect on the other status
bits. For LSR and MSR, the setting of status bits is inhibited during status register read operations. If a status
condition is generated during a read lOR operation, the status bit is not set until the trailing edge ofthe read.
If a status bit is set during a read operation, and the same status condition occurs, that status bit will be
cleared at the trailing edge of the read instead of ,being set again. In the loop-back mode, when modem
status interrupts are enabled, the CTS, DSR, RI and DCD Input pins are ignored. However, a modem-status
Interrupt may still be generated by writing to MCR3-MCRO. Applications software should not write to the
modem-status register.

8 MHz) by any divisor from 1 to 216- 1 (see also BRG description). The output frequency ofthe baud generator
is 16X the data rate (divisor # = clock + (baud rate x 16» referred to in this document as RCLK. Two 8-bit divisor
latch registers store the divisor in a 16-bit binary format. These divisor latch registers must be loaded during
initialization. Upon loading either of the divisor latches, a 16-bit baud counter is immediately loaded. This
prevents long counts on initial load. The BRG can use any of three different popular frequencies to provide
standard baud rates. These frequencies are 1.8432 MHz, 3.072 MHz, and 8 MHz. With these frequencies,
standard bit rates from 50 to 512K bps are available. Tables 5, 6, and 7 illustrate the divisors needed to obtain
standard rates using these three frequencies.

scratch pad register
The scratch pad register is an 8-bit read/write register that has no effect on either channel in the ACE. It is
intended to be used by the programmer to hold data temporarily.
interrupt identification register
In order to minimize software overhead during data character transfers, the serial channel prioritizes interrupts
into four levels. The four levels of interrupt conditions are as follows:
1. Receiver line status (priority 1)
2. Received data ready (priority 2) or character timeout
3. Transmitter holding register empty (priority 3)
4.

Modem status (priority 4)

Information indicating that a prioritized interrupt is pending and the type of interrupt is stored in the interrupt
identification register (IIR). The IIR indicates the highest priority interrupt pending. The contents of the IIR are
indicated in Table 4.

interrupt identification register (continued)
IIR(O) can be used to indicate whether an interrupt is pending. When IIR(O) is low, an interrupt is pending.
IIR(1) and IIR(2) are used to identify the highest priority interrupt pending as indicated in Table 4.
IIR(3): This bit is always logic 0 when in the TL16C450 mode. This bit is set along with bit 2 when in the FIFO
mode and a trigger change level interrupt is pending.
IIR(4) - IIR(5): These two bits are always set to logic O.
IIR(6) - IIR(7): FCR(O)=1 sets these two bits.

interrupt enable register
The interrupt enable register (IER) is used to independently enable the four serial channel interrupt sources
that activate the interrupt (INTO or INT1) output. All interrupts are disabled by resetting IER(O) -IER(3) of the
interrupt enable register. Interrupts are enabled by setting the appropriate bits of the IER high. Disabling the
interrupt system inhibits the interrupt identification register and the active (high) interrupt output. All other system
functions operate in their normal manner, including the setting of the line status and modem status registers.
The contents of the interrupt enable register are described in Table 9 and below.
IER(O). When set to one, IER(O) enables the received data available interrupt and the timeout interrupts in the
FIFO mode.
IER(1). When set to one, IER(1) enables the transmitter holding register empty interrupt.
IER(2). When set to one IER(2) enables the receiver line status interrupt.
IER(3). When set to one, IER(3) enables the modem status interrupt.
IER(4) -IER(7). These four bits ofthe IER are logic O.

receiver
Serial asynchronous data is input into the SIN pin. The ACE continually searches for a high-to-Iow transition
from the idle state. When the transition is detected, a counter is reset, and counts the 16X clock to 7 1/2, which
is the center ofthe start bit. The start bit is valid if the SIN is still low. Verifying the start bits prevents the receiver
from assembling a false data character due to a low-going noise spike on the SIN input.
The line-control register determines the number of data bits in a character [LCR(O), LCR(1)). If parity is used
LCR(3) and the polarity of parity LCR(4) are needed. Status for the receiver is provided in the line status register.
When a full character is received, including parity and stop bits, the data received indication in LSR(O) is set high.
The CPU reads the receiver buffer register, which resets LSR(O). If the character Is not read prior to a new
character transfer from the RSR to the RBR, the overrun error status Indication is setin LSR(1). Ifthere is a parity
error, the parity error is set in LSR(2). If a stop bit is not detected, a framing error indication is set in LSR(3).
If the data into SIN is a symmetrical square wave, the center of the data celis will occur within :1:3.125% of the
actual center, providing an error margin of 46.875%. The start bit can begin as much as one 16X clock cycie
prior to being detected.

master reset
After power up, the ACE RESET input should be held low for one microsecond to reset the ACE circuits to an
idle mode until initialization. A low on RESET causes the following:
1. Intializes the transmitter and receiver clock counters.
2. Clears the line status register (LSR) , exceptfortransmitter shift register empty (TEMl) and transmit holding
register empty (THRE) , which are set. The modem control register (MCR) is also cleared. All of the discrete
lines, memory elements, and miscellaneous logic associated with these register bits are also cleared or
turned off. The line control register (LCR), divisor latches, receiver buffer register, and transmitter buffer
register are not affected.
Following the removal of the reset condition (RESET high), the ACE remains in the idle mode until programmed.
A hardware reset of the ACE sets the THRE and TEMT status bit in the LSR. When interrupts are subsequently
enabled, an interrupt occurs due to THRE.
A summary of the effect of a reset on the ACE is given in Table 8.

programming
The serial channel ofthe ACE is programmed by the control registers: LCR, IER, DLL, DLM, MCR, and FCR.
These control words define the character length, number of stop bits, parity, baud rate, and modem interface.
While the control registers can be written in any order, the IER should be written last because it controls the
interrupt enables. Once the serial channel is programmed and operational, these registers can be updated any
time the ACE serial channel is not transmitting or receiving data.

FIFO-interrupt-mode operation
The following RCVR status occurs when the RCVR FIFO and receiver interrupts are enabled:
1. LSR(O) is set when a character is transferred from the shift register to the RCVR FIFO. When the FIFO is
empty, it is reset.
2. IIR = 06 receiver line status interrupt has higher priority than the received data available interrupt IIR = 04.
3. Receive data available interrupt will be issued to the CPU when the programmed trigger level is reached
by the FIFO. As soon as the FIFO drops below its programmed trigger level, it will be cleared.
4.

IIR = 04 (receive data available indication) also occurs when the FIFO reaches its trigger leveL It is cleared
when the FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level.

The following RCVR FIFO character timeout status occurs when RCVR FIFO and receiver interrupts are
enabled.
1. If the following conditions exist, a FI FO character timeout interrupt occurs.
Minimum of one character in FIFO
Last received serial character was longer than 4 continuous previous character times ago (if two stop bits
are programmed, the second one is included in the time delay).
The last CPU read ofthe FIFO was more than 4 continuous character times earlier. At 300 baud and 12-bit
characters, the FIFO timeout interrupt causes a latency of 160 ms maximum from received character to
interrupt issued.
2.

By using the RCLK input for a clock Signal, the character times can be calculated. (The delay is proportional
to the baud rate.)

3. The timeout timer is reset after the CPU reads the RCVR FIFO or after a new character is received, when
there has been no timeout interrupt.
4. A timeout interrupt is cleared and the timer is reset when the CPU reads a character from the RCVR FIFO.
XMIT interrupts occur as follows when the transmitter and XMIT FIFO interrupts are enabled (FCRO
IER = 1).

= 1,

1. When the transmitter FIFO is empty, the transmitter holding register interrupt (IIR = 02) occurs. The interrupt
is cleared as soon as the transm itter holding register is written to or the II R is read. One to sixteen characters
may be written to the transmit FIFO when servicing this interrupt.
2. The XMIT FIFO empty indications will be delayed one character time minus the last stop bit time whenever
the following occurs:
THRE = 1 and there has not been a minimum of two bytes at the same time in XMIT FIFO, since the last
THRE =1. The first transmitter interrupt after changing FCRO will be immediate, however, assuming it is
enabled.
RCVR FI FO trigger level and character timeout interrupts have the same priority as the received data available
interrupt. The transmitter holding register empty interrupt has the same priority as the transmitter FIFO empty
interrupt.

FIFO polled mode operation
.Resetting IERO, IER1, IER2, IER3, or all to zero, with FCRO = 1, puts the ACE into the FIFO polled mode. RCVR
and XMITER are controlled separately. Therefore, either or both can be in the polled mode.
In the FIFO pOlled mode, there is no timeout condition indicated or trigger level reached. However, the RCVR
and XMIT FIFOs still have the capability of holding characters. The LSR must be read to determine the ACE
status.

parallel port registers
The TL16C552's parallel port can be used to interface the device to a Centronics-style printer. When chip select
2 (CS2) is low, the parallel port is selected. Table 11 shows the registers associated with this parallel port. The
read or write function of the register is controlled by the state of the read (lOR) and write (lOW) pin as shown.
The read data register allows the microprocessor to read the information on the parallel bus.
The read status register allows the microprocessor to read the status of the printer in the six most significant
bits. The status bits are printer busy BSY. acknowledge (ACK) which is a handshake function. paper empty (PE).
printer selected (SLCT) •.error (ERR) and printer interrupt (PRINT). The read control register allows the state
of the control lines to be read. The write control register sets the state of the control lines. They are direction
(OIR). interrupt enable (INT2 EN). select in (SLlN). initialize the printer (INIT). autofeed the paper (AFO). and
strobe (STB). which informs the printer ofthe presence of a valid byte on the parallel bus. The write data register
allows the microprocessor to write a byte to the parallel bus. The parallel port is completely compatible with the
parallel port implementation used in the IBM serial parallel adaptor.

programmable extended mode controlled by the printer enhancement mode (PEMD) pin. This enhancement
is the addition of a direction control bit, and an interrupt status bit.

The line printer (LPD) port is either output only or bidirectional, depending on the state of the extended mode
pin and data direction control bits.
Compatibility mode (PEMD pin

Read operations return either the data last written to the LPT data register if the direction bit is set to write
(low), or the data that is present on PDO- PD7 if the direction is set to read (high). Writes to the LPD register
latch data into the output register, but only drive the LPT port when the direction bit is set to write (low).

Qualifying Symbols for Inputs and Outputs
Qualifying symbols for inputs and outputs are shown in Table 2 and many will be familiar to most users,
a likely exception being the logic polarity symbol for directly indicating active-low inputs and outputs.
The older logic negation indicator means that the external 0 state produces the internal 1 state. The
internal 1 state means the active state. Logic negation may be used in pure logic diagrams; in order
to tie the external 1 and 0 logic states to the levels H (high) and L (low), a statement of whether positive
logic (1 = H, 0 = L) or negative logic (1 = L,O = H) is being used is required or must be assumed.
Logic polarity indicators eliminate the need for calling out the logic convention and are used in this data
book in the symbology for actual devices. The presence of the triangle polarity indicator indicates that
the L logic level will produce the internal 1 state (the active state) or that, in the case of an output,
the internal 1 state will produce the external L level. Note how the active direction of transition for a
dynamic input is indicated in positive logic, negative logic, and with polarity indication.
When nonstandardized information is shown inside an outline, it is usually enclosed in square brackets
[like thesel. The square brackets are omitted when associated with a nonlogic input, which is indicated
by an X superimposed on the connection line outside the symbol.

Symbols Inside the Outline
Table 3 shows some symbols used inside the outline. Note particularly that open-collector (open-drain),
open-emitter (open-source), and three-state outputs have distinctive symbols. Also note that an EN input
affects all of the outputs of the element and has no effect on inputs. An EN input affects all the external
outputs of the element in which it is placed, plus the external outputs of any elements shown to be
influenced by that element. It has no effect on inputs. When an enable input affects only certain outputs,
affects outputs located outside the indicated influence of the element in which the enable input is placed,
and/or affects one or more inputs, a form of dependency notation will indicate this (see 4.9). The effects
of the EN input on the various types of outputs are shown.
It is particularly important to note that a D input is always the data input of a storage element. At its
internal 1 state, the D input sets the storage element to its 1 state, and at its internal 0 state it resets
the storage element to its 0 state.
The binary grouping symbol will be explained more fully in Section 6.11. Binary-weighted inputs are
arranged in order and the binary weights of the least significant and the most significant lines are indicated
by numbers. In this document weights of input and output lines will be represented by powers of two
usually only when the binary grouping symbol is used, otherwise decimal numbers will be used. The
grouped inputs generate an internal number on which a mathematical function can be performed or that
can be an identifying number for dependency notation. This number is the sum of the weights
(1, 2, 4 ... 2n) of those input standing at their 1 states. A frequent use is in addresses for memories.
Reversed in direction, the binary grouping symbol can be used with outputs. The concept is analogous
to that for the inputs and the weighted outputs will indicate the internal number assumed to be developed
within the circuit.

Combinations of Outlines and Internal Connections
When a circuit has one or more inputs that are common to more than one element of the circuit, the
common-control block may be used. This is the only distinctively shaped outline used in the lEe system.
Figure 2 shows that unless otherwise qualified by dependency notation, an input to the common-control
block is an input to each of the elements below the common-control block.

The outlines of elements may be embedded within one another or abutted to form complex elements,
in which case the following rules apply. There is no logic connection between elements when the line
common to their outlines is in the direction of signal flow. There is at least one logic connection when
the line common to two outlines is perpendicular to the direction of signal flow. If no indications are
shown on either side of the common line, it is assumed that there is only one logic connection. If more
than one internal connection exists between adjacent elements, the number of connections will be clarified
by the use of one or more of the internal connection symbols from Table 4 and/or appropriate qualifying
symbols or dependency notation.

Table 4 shows symbols that are used to represent internal connection with specific characteristics. The
first is a simple noninverting connection, the second is inverting, the third is dynamic. As with this symbol
and an external input line, the transition from 0 to 1 on the left produces a momentary l-state on the
right. The fourth symbol is similar except that the active transition on the left is from 1 to O.
Only logic states, not levels, exist inside symbols. The negation symbol (
direct polarity indication (
) is used externally.

) is used internally even when

In an array of elements, if the same general qualifying symbol and the same qualifying symbols associated
with inputs and outputs would appear inside each of the elements of the array, these qualifying symbols
are usually shown only in the first element. This is done to reduce clutter and to save time in recognition.
Similarly, large identical elements that are subdivided into smaller elements may each be represented
by an unsubdivided outline. The SN75163B symbol (see 6.5) illustrates this principle.

Dependency Notation
Some readers will find it more to their liking to skip this section and proceed to the explanation of the
symbols for a few actual devices in 6.0. Reference will be made there to various parts of this section
as it is needed. If this procedure is followed, it is recommended that 5.0 be read after 6.0 and then
all of 4.0 be reread.

4.1

General Explanation
Dependency notation is the powerful tool that sets the lEe symbols apart from previous systems and
makes compact, meaningful, symbols possible. It provides the means of denoting the relationship
between inputs, outputs, or inputs and outputs without actually showing all the elements and
interconnections involved. The information provided by dependency notation supplements that provided
by the qualifying symbols for an element's function.
In the convention for the dependency notation, use will be made of the terms "affecting" and "affected."
In cases where it is not evident which inputs must be considered as being the affecting or the affected
ones (e.g., if they stand in an AND relationship), the choice may be made in any convenient way.

4-9

So far, eleven types of dependency have been defined but only the eight used in this book are explained.

G (AND) Dependency
A common relationship between two signals il, to have them ANDed together. This has traditionally
been shown by explicitly drawing an AND gate with the signals connected to the inputs of the gate.
The 1972 IEC publication and the 1973 IEEE/ANSI standard showed several ways to show this AND
relationship using dependency notation. While ten other forms of dependency have since been defined,
the ways to invoke AND dependency are now reduced to one.
In Figure 3 input b is AN Oed with input a and the complement of b is ANDed with c. The letter G has
been chosen to iridicate AND relationships and is placed at input b, inside the symbol. A number
considered appropriate by the symbol designer (1 has been used here) is placed after the letter G and
also at each affected input. Note the bar over the 1 at input c.

Figure 3. G Dependency Between Inputs
In Figure 4, output b affects input a with an AND relationship. The lower example shows that it is the
internal logic state of b, unaffected by the negation sign, that is ANDed. Figure 5 shows input a to be
ANDed with a dynamic input b.

Figure 5. G Dependency with a Dynamic Input

4-10

The rules for G dependency can be summarized thus:
When a Gm input or output (m is a number) stands at its internal 1 state, all inputs and outputs affected
by Gm stand at their normally defined internal logic states. When the Gm input or output stands at
its 0 state, all inputs and outputs a~fected by Gm stand at their internal 0 states.

4.3

Conventions for the Application of Dependency Notation in General
The rules for applying dependency relationships in general follow the same pattern as was illustrated
for G dependency.
Application of dependency notation is accomplished by:
1.

2.

Labeling the input (or output) affecting other inputs or outputs with the letter symbol indicating
the relationship involved (e.g., G for AND) followed by an identifying number, appropriately
chosen, and
Labeling each input or output affected by that affecting input (or output) with that same number.

If it is the complement of the internal logic state of the affecting input or output that does the affecting,
then a bar is placed over the identifying numbers at the affected inputs or outputs (Figure 3).
If two affecting inputs or outputs have the same letter and same identifying number, they stand in an
OR relationship to each other (Figure 6).

&

Figure 6. ORed Affecting Inputs
If the affected input or output requires a label to denote its function (e.g., "0"), this label will be prefixed
by the identifying number of the affecting input (Figure 12).
If an input or output is affected by more than one affecting input, the identifying numbers of each of
the affecting inputs will appear in the label of the affected one, separated by commas. The normal reading
order of these numbers is the same as the sequence of the affecting relationships (Figure 12).

4.4

V (OR) Dependency
The symbol denoting OR dependency is the letter V (Figure 7).
When a Vm input or output stands at its internal 1 state, all inputs and outputs affected by Vm stand
at their internal 1 states. When the Vm input or output stands at its internal 0 state, all inputs and outputs
affected by Vm stand at their normally defined internal logic states.

4.5

N (Negate) (Exclusive-OR) Dependency
The symbol denoting negate dependency is the letter N (Figure 8). Each input or output affected by
an Nm input or output stands in an Exclusive-OR relationship with the Nm input or output.
When an Nm input or output stands at its internal 1 state, the internal logic state of each input and
each output affected by Nm is the complement of what it would otherwise be. When an Nm input or
output stands at its internal 0 state, all inputs and outputs affected by Nm stand at their normally defined
internal logic states.

If a = 0, then c = b
Ita = 1, then c = b

Figure 8, N (Negate) (Exclusive-OR) Dependency

4.6

Z (Interconnection) Dependency
The symbol denoting interconnection dependency is the letter Z.
Interconnection dependency is used to indicate the existence of internal logic connections between inputs,
outputs, internal inputs, and/or internal outputs.
The internal logic state of an input or output affected by a Zm input or output will be the same as the
internal logic state of the Zm input or output, unless modified by additional dependency notation (Figure 9).

4.7

X (Transmission) Dependency
The symbol denoting transmission dependency is the letter X.
Transmission dependency is used to indicate controlled bidirectional connections between affected
input/output ports (Figure 10).
When an Xm input or output stands at its internal 1 state, all input-output ports affected by this Xm
input or output are bidirectionally connected together and stand at the same internal logic state or analog
signal level. When an Xm input or output stands at its internal 0 state, the connection associated with
this set of dependency notation does not exist.

If a = 1, there is a bidirectional
connection between band c.
If a = 0, there is a bidirectional
connection between c and d.

Figure 10. X (Transmission) Dependency
Although the transmission paths represented by X dependency are inherently bidirectional, use is not
always made of this property. This is analogous to a piece of wire, which may be constrained to carry
current in only one direction. If this is the case in a particular application, then the directional arrows
shown in Figures 10 and 11 would be omitted.

C (Control) Dependency
The symbol denoting control dependency is the letter C.
Control inputs are usually used to enable or disable the data (0, J, K, R, or S) inputs of storage elements.
They may take on their internal 1 states (be active) either statically or dynamically. In the latter case
the dynamic input symbol is used as shown in the second example of Figure 12.
When a Cm input or output stands at its internal 1 state, the inputs affected by Cm have their normally
defined effect on the function of the element, i.e., these inputs are enabled. When a Cm input or output
stands at its internal 0 state, the inputs affected by Cm are disabled and have no effect on the function
of the element.

EN (Enable) Dependency
The symbol denoting enable dependency is the combination of letters EN.
An ENm input has the same effect on outputs as an EN input, see 3.3, but it affects only those outputs
labeled with the identifying number m. It also affects those inputs labeled with the identifying number
m. By contrast, an EN input affects all outputs and no inputs. The effect of an ENm input on an affected
input is identical to that of a em input (Figure 13).

Figure 13. 'EN (Enable) Dependency
When an ENm input stands at its internal 1 state, the inputs affected by ENm have their normally defined
effect on the function of the element and the outputs affected by this input stand at their normally defined
internal logic states, i.e., these inputs and outputs are enabled.
When an ENm input stands at its internal () state, the inputs affected by ENm are disabled and have
no effect on the function of the element, and the outputs affected by ENm are also disabled. Opencollector outputs are turned off, three-state outputs stand at their high-impedance state, and all other
outputs (e.g., totem-pole outputs) stand at their internal 0 states.

4.10

M (MODE) Dependency
The symbol denoting mode dependency is the letter M.
Mode dependency is used to indicate that the effects of particular inputs and outputs of an element
depend on the mode in which the element is operating.
If an input or output has the same effect in different modes of operation, the identifying numbers of
the relevant affecting Mm inputs will appear in the label of that affected input or output between
parentheses and separated by soiidi, e.g., (li2jCT=O 55 "iCT=O/2CT=O where 1 and 2 refer to Ml
and M2.

4-14

4.10.1 M Dependency Affecting Inputs
M dependency affects inputs the same as C dependency. When an Mm input or Mm output stands at
its internal 1 state, the inputs affected by this Mm input or Mm output have their normally defined effect
on the function of the element, i.e., the inputs are enabled.
When an Mm input or Mm output stands at its internal 0 state, the inputs affected by this Mm input
or Mm output have no effect on the function of the element. When an affected input has several sets
of labels separated by solidi (e.g., C4/2-/3 +), any set in which the identifying number of the Mm input
or Mm output appears has no effect and is to be ignored. This represents disabling of some of the functions
of a multifunction input.
The circuit in Figure 14 has two inputs, band c, that control which one of four modes (0, 1, 2, or 3)
will exist at any time. Inputs d, e, and fare D inputs subject to dynamic control (clocking) by the a
input. The numbers 1 and 2 are in the series chosen to indicate the modes so inputs e and f are only
enabled in mode 1 (for parallel loading) and input d is only enabled in mode 2 (for serial loading). Note
that input a has three functions. It is the clock for entering data. In mode 2, it causes right shifting
of data, which means a shift away from the control block. In mode 3, it causes the contents of the
register to be incremented by one count.
Note that all operations are synchronous.

In MODE 0 (b = O. c = 01. the outputs
remain at their existing states as none
of the inputs has an effect.

In MODE 1 (b = 1. c = 01. parallel loading

In MODE 2 (b = O. c = 11. shifting down

In MODE 3 (b = c = 11. counting up by

Figure 14. M (Mode) Dependency Affecting Inputs
4.10.2 M Dependency Affecting Outputs
When an Mm input or Mm output stands at its internal 1 state, the affected outputs stand at their normally
defined internal logic states, i.e., the outputs are enabled.
When an Mm input or Mm output stands at its internal 0 state, at each affected output any set of labels
containing the identifying number of that Mm input or Mm output has no effect and is to be ignored.
When an output has several different sets of labels separated by solidi (e.g., 2,4/3,5), only those sets
in which the identifying number of this Mm input or Mm output appears are to be ignored.
Figure 1 5 shows a symbol for a device whose output
can behave like either a 3-state output or an opencollector output depending on the signal applied to
input a. Mode 1 exists when input a stands at its
internal 1 state and, in that case, the three-state
symbol applies and the open-element symbol has no
effect. When a = 0, mode 1 does not exist so the
three-state symbol has no effect and the openelement symbol applies.

Transparent latches have a level-operated control input. The D input is active as long as the C input
is at its internal 1 state. The outputs respond immediately. Edge-triggered elements accept data from
D, J, K, R, or 5 inputs on the active transition of C.
Notice that synchronous inputs can be readily recognized by their dependency labels (a number preceding
the functional label, 1 D in these examples) compared to the asynchronous inputs (5 and R), which are
not dependent on the C inputs. Of course if the set and reset inputs were dependent on the C inputs,
their labels would be similarly modified le.g., 15, 1 Ri.

Examples of Actual Device Symbols
The symbols explained in this section include some of the most complex in this book. These were chosen,
not to discourage the reader, but to illustrate the amount of information that can be conveyed. It is
likely that if one reads these explanations and follows them reasonably well, most of the other symbols
will seem simple indeed. The explanations are intended to be independent of each other so they may
seem somewhat repetitious. However each illustrates new principles. They are arranged more or less
in the order of complexity.

6.1

SN75437 A Quadruple Peripheral Driver
There are four identical sections. The symbology is
complete for the first element; the absence of any
symbology for the other elements indicates they are
identical. The top two elements share a common
output clamp, pin 2. This is shown to be a non logic
connection by the superimposed X on the line. The
function for this type of connection is indicated
briefly and not necessarily exactly by a small amount
of text within the symbol. The bottom two elements
likewise share a common clamp.
Each element is shown to be an inverter with
amplification (indicated by 1». Taking TTL as a
reference, this means that either the input is
sensitive to lower level signals, or the output has
greater drive capability than usual. The latter applies
in this case. The output is shown by Q to be open
collector.
All the outputs share a common EN input, pin 14. See Figure 2 for an explanation of the common control
block. When EN = 0 (pin 14 is low), the outputs, being open-collector types, are turned off and would
be pulled high by an external pullup resistor.

There are eight identical sections. The symbology is
complete for the first element; the absence of any
symbology for the next three elements indicates they
are identical. Likewise the symbology is complete for
the fifth element; the absence of any symbology for
the next three elements indicates they are identical
to the fifth.
Each element is shown to be an inverter with
amplification (indicated by 1». Taking TTL as a
reference, this means that either the input is
sensitive to lower level signals, or the output has
greater drive capability than usual. The former
applies in this case. Since neither the symbol for
open-collector ( Q ) or 3-state ( \1 ) outputs is
shown, the outputs are of the totem-pole type.

The top four outputs are shown to be affected by affecting input number 1, which is EN 1, meaning
they will be enabled if EN1 = 1 (pin 1 is high). See 4.9 for an explanation of EN dependency. If pin
1 is low, EN1 = 0 and the affected outputs will go to their inactive (high) levels. Similarly, the lower
four outputs are controlled by pin 11.

4-17

6.3

SN75122 Triple Line Receivers
There are two identical sections. The symbology is
complete for the first section; the absence of any
symbology for the next section indicates it is
identical. Likewise the symbology is complete for the
third section, which is similar, but not identical, to
the first and second.

1R

1B

The top section may be considered to be an OR
element (~1) with two embedded ANDs (&), one of
which has an active-low amplified input ( I> ) with
hysteresis ( .D' ), pin 14. This is ANDed with pin 1 5
and the result is ORed with the AND of pins 1 and
2. The output of the OR, pin 13, is active-low.

2R

2B
3R

The third section is identical to the first except that
pin 12 has no input ANDed with it. Since neither the
symbol for open-collector ( Q ) or 3-state ( 'V )
outputs is shown, the outputs are of the totem-pole
type.

There are two similar elements in the array. The first
is a 2-input AND element (indicated by &); the
second has only a single input. Both elements are
shown to have special amplification (indicated
by 1». Taking TTL as a reference, this means that
either the input is sensitive to lower level signals, or
the output has greater drive capability than usual.
The latter applies in this case.

Each element has four outputs. Pins 4 and 3 are a
pair consisting of one open-emitter output ( ~ ) and
one open-collector output ( Q ). Relative to the AND
1B
function, both are active high. Pins 1 and 2 are a
similar pair but relative to the AND function, both are
2YP
active low. All outputs of a single, unsubdivided
2YS
element always have identical internal logic states
2ZP
2ZS
determined by the function of the element except
when otherwise indicated by an associated symbol
or label inside the element. Here there is no such
contrary indication. All four outputs are shown to be
affected by affecting input number 1·, which is EN1,
meaning they will all be enabled if EN1 = 1. See 4.9 for an explanation of EN dependency. If EN1 = 0,
all the affected outputs will be turned off. EN1 is the output of an AND gate (indicated by &) whose
active-high inputs are pins 7 and 9. Both pins 7 and 9 must be high to enable the outputs of the top
element. Assuming they are enabled and that pins 5 and 6 are both high, the internal state of all four
outputs will be a 1 . Pins 4 and 3 will both be high, pins 1 and 2 will both be low. The part is designed
so that pins 3 and 4 may be connected together creating an active-high 3-state output. Likewise pins
1 and 2 may be connected together to create an active-low 3-state output.
1A

All that has been said about the first element regarding its outputs and their enable inputs also applies
to the second element. Pins 9 and 10 are the enable inputs in this case.

4--18

6.5

SN75163B Octal General-Purpose Interface Bus Transceiver
There are eight 110 ports on each side, pins 2 through
9 and 12 through 19. There are eight identical
channels. The symbology is complete for the first
channel; the absence of any symbology for the other
channels indicates they are identical. The eight
bidirectional channels each have amplification from
left to right, that is, the outputs on the right have
increased drive capability (indicated by 1>1. and the
inputs on the right all have hysteresis (indicated
by.O').
84

The outputs on the left are shown to be 3-state
outputs by the ~. They are also shown to be
affected by affecting input number 4, which is EN4,
meaning they will be enabled if EN4 = 1 (pin 1 is
low). See 4.9 for an explanation of EN dependency.
If EN4 = 0 (pin 1 is high), the affected outputs will
go to their high-impedance (off) states.

The labeling at pin 2, which applies to all the outputs on the right, is unusual because the outputs
themselves have an unusual feature. The label includes both the symbol for a 3-state output ( ~ ) and
for an open-collector output (Q), separated by a slash indicating that these are alternatives.
The symbol for the 3-state output is shown to be affected by affecting input number 1, which is M 1,
meaning the \llabel is valid when M1 = 1 (pin 11 is high), but is to be ignored when M1 = 0 (pin
11 is low). See 4.10 for an explanation of M (mode) dependency. Likewise the symbol for the opencollector output is shown to be affected by affecting input number 2, which is M2, meaning the ~
label is valid when M2 = 1 (pin 11 is low), but is to be ignored when M2 = 0 (pin 11 is high). These
labels are enclosed in parentheses (used as in algebra); the numeral 3 indicates that in either case the
output is affected by EN3. Thus the right-hand outputs will be off if pin 1 is low. It can now be seen
that pin 1 is the direction control and pin 11 is used to determine whether the outputs are of the 3-state
or open-collector variety.

There are eight I/O ports on each side, pins 2 through
,9 and 12 through 19. Pin 13 is not only an I/O port;
the line running into the common-control block (see
Figure 2) indicates that it also has control functions.
Pins 1 and 11 are also controls. The eight
bidirectional channels each have amplification from
left to right, that is, the outputs on the right have
increased drive capability (indicated by C», and the
inputs on the right all have hysteresis (indicated
by.D1. All of the outputs are shown to be of the
3-state type by the 'V symbol except for the outputs
at pins 9, 4, and 5, which are shown to have passive
pull ups by the ~ symbol.

Starting with a typical I/O port, pin 18, the output
portion is identified by an arrow indicating rig'ht-toleft signal flow and the three-state output symbol
NDAC
( 'V). This output is shown to be affected by
affecting input number 1, which is EN 1, meaning it
NRFD
will be enabled as an output if EN1 = 1 (pin 11 is
high). See 4.9 for an explanation of EN dependency.
If pin 11 is low, EN 1 = 0 and the output at pin 18
will be in its high-impedance (off) state. This also applies to the 3-state outputs at pins 13 and 19 and
to the passive-pull up output at pin 9. On the other hand, the outputs at pins 8, 2, 3, and 12 all are
affected by the complement of EN1. This is indicated by the bar over the 1 at each of those outputs.
They are enabled only when pin 11 is low. Thus one function of pin 11 is to serve as direction control
for the first, third, fourth, and fifth channels.
DAV

Similarly it can be seen that pin 1 serves as direction control for the sixth, seventh, and eighth channels.
If pin 1 is high, transmission will be from left to right in the sixth channel, right to left in the seventh
and eighth. These transmissions are reversed if pin 1 is low.
The direction control for the second channel, EN3, is more complex. EN3 is the output of an OR (~ 1)
function. One of the inputs to this OR is the active-high signal on pin 13. This signal is shown to be
affected at the input to the OR gate by affecting input number 5, which is G5, meaning that pin 13
is ANDed with pin 1 before entering the OR gate. See 4.2 for an explanation of G (AND) dependency.
The other input to the OR is the active-low signal on pin 13. This signal is ANDed with the complement
of pin 11 before entering the OR gate. This is indicated by the G4 at pin 1 and the 4 with a bar over
it at pin 13. Thus for EN3 to stand at the 1 state, which would enable transmission from pin 14 to pin 7,
both pins 13 and 1 must be high or both pins 13 and 11 must be low.

The heart of this device and its symbol is an 8-bit
shift register. It has a single D input, pin 2, which
is shown to be affected by affecting input number 9,
which is C9, meaning it will be enabled if C9 = 1.
See 4.8 for an explanation of C dependency and 5.0
for a discussion of bistable elements. Since the C
input is dynamic, the storage elements are edgetriggered flip-flops. While C9 = 1, which in this case
will occur on the transition of pin 3 from low to high,
the state of the D input will be stored. Pin 2 is shown
to be active low so to store a 1, pin 2 must be low.
In addition to controlling the D input, pin 3 is shown
by /- to have an additional function. As pin 3 goes
from low to high, data stored in the shift register is
shifted one position. The right-pointing arrow means
that the data is shifted away from the control block
(down).

On the right side of the symbol an abbreviation
technique has been used that is practical only when
the internal labels and the pin numbers are both consecutive. Thus it should be clear that the input of
the element whose output is pin 5 is affected by affecting input number 2, just as the input of the element
whose output is pin 4 is affected by affecting input number 1. Affecting inputs 1 through 8 are Z inputs
(Zl through Z8), which means their signals are tranferred directly to the output elements. See 4.6 for
an explanation of Z dependency.

1301 408

The inputs of the 32 implicitly shown output elements are also shown to be affected by affecting inputs
numbers 11, 12, 13, and 14 in four blocks of eight each. These inputs will be found in the common
control block preceded by a letter G and a brace. The brace is called the binary grouping symbol. It
is equivalent to a decoder with outputs in this case driving four G inputs (G11, G12, G13, and G14).
The weights of the inputs to the coder are shown to be 20 and 21 for pins 1 and 39, respectively. The
decoder has four outputs corresponding to the four possible sums of the weights of the activated decoder
inputs. If pins 1 and 39 are both low, the sum of the weights = 0 and G11 = 1. If pin 1 is low while
pin 39 is high, the sum = 2 and G13 = 1 and so forth. G indicates AND dependency, see 4.2. Only
one of the four affecting G inputs at a time can take on the 1 state. The block of eight output elements
affected by that G input are enabled; the 0 state is imposed on the other 24 output elements and externally
those output pins are low.
I

Because of their high-current, high-voltage characteristics, the outputs are labeled with the amplification
symbol!> . All the outputs share a common EN input, pin 38. See Figure 2 for an explanation of the
common control block. When EN = 0 (pin 38 is high\. the outputs take on their internal 0 states. Being
active high, that means they are forced low.

The heart of this device and its symbol is a
32-bit shift register. It has a single D input,
pin 24, which is shown to be affected by
affecting input number 1, which ,is C1,
meaning it will be enabled if C 1 = 1. See 4.8
for an explanation of C dependency and 5.0
for a discussion of bistable elements. Since
the C input is dynamic, the storage elements
are edge-triggered flip-flops. While C1 = 1,
which in this case will occur on the transition
of pin 20 from high to low, the state of the
D input will be stored. Pin 24 is shown to be
active high so to store a 1, pin 24 must be
high.

C>
C>

In addition to controlling the D input, pin 20
is shown by {-+ to have an additional function.
As pin 20 goes from high to low, data stored
in the shift register is shifted one position. The
right-pointing arrow means that the data is shifted away from the control block (down). The internal
inputs of the output buffers are all shown to be affected by affecting inputs 2 and 3. Affecting input
2 is G2, meaning that pin 19 is ANDed with each of the internal register outputs, which are the buffer
inputs. If pin 19 is high, the affected buffer inputs are enabled. If pin 19 is low, the 0 state is imposed
on the affected buffer inputs. See 4.2 for an explanation of G (AND) dependency. Affecting input 3
is V3, meaning that pin 23 (active low) is ORed with each of the internal register outputs. If pin 23
is high, V3 = 0 and the affected buffer inputs are enabled. If pin 23 is low, V3 = 1 and the 1 state
is imposed on the affected buffer inputs. See 4.4 for an explanation of V (OR) dependency. The effect
of V3 is taken into account after that of G2 because of the order in Which the labels appear. This means
that the imposition of the 1 state on the internal buffer inputs by pin 23 would take precedence over
the imposition of the 0 state by pin 19 in case both inputs were active. Pin 18 is shown to be an output
directly from the thirty-second stage of the shift register. Pins 19 and 23 do not affect this output.
2.3

An abbreviation technique has been used for the shift register elements and associated the output lines.
This technique is practical only when the pin numbers and pin names are both consecutive.
The symbol 0 designates an n-p-n open-collector or similar output. In this device, the outputs are actually
open-drain n-channel field-effect transistors. Instead of being grounded, the sources of these transistors
are all connected to pin 21. This pin is used as an input to control the output voltage.

1. Introduction

1.1.Data Transmission
It may seem strange that TIs 'Data transmission' products are included within the Linear seminar.
Data Transmission as part of TI's Linear Products portfolio is concerned with the standards involving
transmitting data at relatively high speeds down long line lengths, the considerations for which are

primarily of an analog more than a digital nature. Likewise the design of data transmission ICs
requires experienCed analog engineers to implement functions such as slew rate limiting, receiver
filtering and common-mode protection.
In this year's seminar we will concentrate on two verY popular transmission standards, RS-232 or as
it is now known EIAfI'IA-232-E, and the multi-point, half duplex RS-485 standard. The last section
covers the physical layer of the increasingly popular Small Computer Systems Interface Standard
(SCSI).
.

1.1.1. The Need for Transmission Standards
Data transmission standards evolved for two main reasons: From the need to transmit data reliably
over long distances, and to provide a standard interface to facilitate communication between
equipment from different suppliers. Although TfLILogic Signal levels and products can be used,
they generally lack the power handling capabilities, robus1lless and noise margins required for
reliable transmission. Indeed for backplane equipment, TIL is no longer specified for the newer high
speed standards, such as Futurebus+ which uses BTL transceivers. In general the standards
concerned with transmitting data over long distances incorporate wider voltage swings, increased
robuS1lless and higher power outputs than can be delivered using conventional 'Logic' products.
Similarly the sub-micron technologies used in the fabrication of today's logic devices cannot provide
the power handling and robUS1lless necessary for successful long distance transmission.

1.1.2. Specialist Technologies
This leads to the need for specialist ICs, and technologies, to meet the exacting requirements of these
transmission standards. The traditional technological answer has been to utilise the inherent
robus1lless afforded by bipolar technologies, however the additional need for low power consumption
and high levels of integration no longer makes this attractive. SC manufacturers are now baving to
develop their technologies to accommodate these requirements. TI has introduced its proprietary
LinBiCMOSTM technology cOmbining the robus1lless of bipolar together with the power consumption
and integration afforded by CMOS. Other manufacturers are using pure CMOS and integrating
shottky diodes to the same end. The result is very specialised and reliable products that are able to
withstand the harsh environment unique to data transmission products.

Texas Instruments has been a leading supplier of data transmission products for many years, and is
continually innovating new fields. Although the following sections are limited to the more common
interface standards, TI is actively involved in many new emerging standards and markets, for
example Futurebus+, a backplane standard with virtually no ceiling on data rate, the high speed
serial data link evolving from the P1394 committee and multiplex wiring systems such as ABUS,
CAN and VAN. The reader is advised to contact a TI representative for information on these
product areas.
With the considerable expertise in design, product definition and range of technologies Texas
Instruments is the ideal choice for supplying your data transmission product requirements.

SCSI: We will consider the pbysicallayer of this standard that concern both single ended and
differential transmission. For single ended transmission we will look specifically at optimising
the line termination to achieve maximum transmission rate over the 6 metre distance as specified
in the standard. The differential SCSI system increases the line length to 25 metres and uses the
RS-485 standard to acbieve this. We will look at TJ's new nine channel RS-485 transceiver
which minimises the problems caused by the 18 line wide bus as dermed by the standard.

1.2.0verview of the Interface Standards
Referring to Figure 5.3 we can see the relationship of each transmission standard wben comparing
data rate and line length.

1.2.1. EIAlTIA-232
EIA-232 or 'Recommended Standard' 232 is dermed in the ANSI (Americau National Standard
Institution) .specification as "The Interface Between Data Terminal Equipment and Data Circuit-

5-10

Data Transmission

Terminating Equipment Employing Senru Binary Data Intercbange". The standard employs a single
ended serial transmission scheme and outlines the set of rules for exchanging data between computer
equipment, originally this being a Computer Terminal (DTE) and a modem (DeE). The standard has
evolved over the years with the latest 'E' revision released in July 1991. The standard is now known
as EIAfTIA-232-E, with EIA standing for the Electronic Industries Association and TIA for the
Telecommunications Industry Association.
As with previous revisions of the standard the maximum data rate is defmed as 20 k bits per second
(kbps) although there are now a number of software applications that now push this data rate up to
116 kbps, well outside the standard. The 'C' revision defined the maximum line length as 15 metres
however this failed to comprehend the type of cable used and consequently the load capacitance on
the line driver. Both the D' and 'E' revisions addressed this by more correctly defining the line length
in terms of load capacitance. The maximum load capacitance is specified as 2500 pF that translates
using standard cables to between 15 and 20 metres. Line length and data rate are limited as the
standard employs single ended communication which is prone to external factors. For longer line
lengths and higher data rates a differential balanced line communication link is essential.

1.2.2. RS-485
RS-485 was primarily an upgrade to the EIA RS-422-A standard utilising the same signal levels but
facilitating half duplex multi-point communication. The standard is less complex than the ElA-232
standard as it only specifies the physical layer of the transmission scheme. Hardware such as the
connector is left to the user to define. The standard specifies a balanced transmission line whose
maximum line length is undefmed but is nominally 1.2 km for 24 AWG cable based on 6 dB signal
attenuation. The maximum data rate is also undefined but is specified by the relationship of signal
rise time to bit time which is influenced both by the line driver and the line length and the line
loading. In the majority of applications it is the line length that is the limiting factor on data rate due
to signal dispersion. This is discussed in later sections.

1.2.3. Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI)
SCSI is an industry-standard interface, defined by the ANSI, for the interchange of data between
computer and computer peripherals. Standard SCSI is a byte wide parallel interface for high speed
data transfer over relatively short distances. The SCSI bus is bi-directional and is terminated at both
ends of the cable to reduce reflections. For the single ended interface the standard specifies a
maximum line length of 6 metres. The maximum data rate is not specified but at present 5 Million
Transfers per second (MTps) is achievable using active termination. This can be increased up to
10 MTps using innovative termination as we will discuss later. For longer line length applications, up
to 25 metres, the SCSI standard dermes the interface using the RS-485 standard as the physical layer.
This pushes the data rate to 10 MTps over the full 25 metres which equates to 80 Mbps. A further
development of SCSI is 'Wide' SCSI which increases the data bus to 16 bits wide. Using the
10 MTps differential interface this increases the bit rate to 160 Mbps.

1.3.System Influences
Noise, distortion and attenuation are always present in data transmission systems and strictly limit
performance. We will consider each one of these in turn although there is some overlap i.e. noise can
cause distortion.

System Influences

• Signal Attenuation
• Signal Distortion
• Noise

Figure 5.4· System Influences

1.3.1. Signal Attenuation
Any data transmission over wire experiences losses and distortion due to distributed constants
present along the cable: distributed series inductance, distributed shunt capacitance, distributed series
resistance and distributed shunt conductance. Attenuation of the signal in a cable is affected by each
of the these components. The series resistance, R, is frequency dependent and is a result of the DC
resistance of the cable and the skin effect. Skin effect is a term which refers to the tendency of
electrons to travel to the surface of a conductor at higher frequencies, thereby reducing the overall
cross sectional area and increasing the resistance. The series inductance, L, represents the opposition
to change in current levels caused by the collapsing and expanding magnetic fields created due to
fluctuating current levels. The shunt capacitance, C ,is created by the two conductors in close
proximity and separated by a dielectric. As the signal frequency increases the capacitive reactance

5-13

1993 Linear Design Seminar
decreases, consequently reducing the opposition to current flow. The final component, shunt
transconductance or G, is a function of the dielecbic loss of the insulation around each conductor
w~ch allows some leakage current to pass between conductors. In modem dielecbics this is often
assumed to be negligible.
The overall effect of these disbibuted constants is called the characteristic impedance of the line, Zo,
and is expressed as:

z _
0-

Where:

G+j21tfC

L is henries/unit length
R is in ohms/unit length
C is in farads/unit length
G is on siemens/unit length

The current/voltage relationship of an incident wave travelling down a transmission line in the
direction of the load will be determined by this equation. Equally a reflected wave travelling from
the direction of the load will also be dependent on this relationship. We will revisit this equation
when we discuss transmission line termination in section 1.5. The signal velocity along the
transmission line and the attenuation depends upon the propagation constant '1 of the line. The
propagation constant, when separated into its real and imaginary parts, is symbolised by a + J(3
where a is known as the attenuation constant and (3 as the phase constant. a determines the rate of
attenuation and has units of nepers per unit length, and Pdetermines the phase velocity, where:

Where Cl) is the angular velocity.
Additionally, the propagation constant,

'1 =0.+ jJ3 =.J(R+ jO>L)(G+ jmC)
In practice the attenuation of a particular cable can be determined from manufacturers data where
usually a curve of bit rate or frequency is plotted against dB, usually quoted per 100 ft or 30 metres.
The attenuation constant, p, can be converted to dBs by multiplying by 8.686.

The maximum attenuation allowable will be dependent on the system configuration but a figure of
6 dBV maximum
is a good guide. Actual curves are discussed later in the RS-485 section.

1.3.2. Signal Distortion
One of the primary causes of signal distortion is the effect known as frequency dispersion. As
discussed in 1.3.1. phase velocity and attenuation are both frequency dependent and whose effect is
to distort and delay the signal pulse. The high frequency components contained in the leading and
lagging edges of a pulse experience minimum delay but experience maximum attenuation. The pulse
top and low frequency components are subjected to increased delays. The result is that various parts
of the pulse arrive at the receiving end at different times and at differing levels causing distortion of
the original signal. It follows the longer the line length the more the bit rate must be reduced. In
many transmission systems it is this factor alone which determines the maximum signalling rate.
Once again cable manufacturers sometimes specify a bit rate versus line length curve but a better
way to check signal distortion of your system is by the use of eye patterns or eye diagrams. Indeed
cable manufacturers generate their bit rate/distance curves using eye pattern measurements. Eye
patterns allow you to visibly see and measure signal distortion as a function of data rate. See later
sections on how to implement Eye Patterns.

1.3.3. Noise
Noise is generated from a variety of sources and can strongly influence how you implement your
data transmission system. All extraneous signals appearing at the receiving end of the transmission
circuit that are not due to the input signal are considered as noise. The two most likely sources of
noise that will affecting data transmission systems in the context of this Section are common-mode
voltages and cross talk. We will discuss both these types of noise and how the relate to the type of
transmission system in section 1.6.

1.4.Eye patterns
To determine the effects of signal distortion, noise etc. on Intersymbol interference (lSI) in a data
transmission system the eye pattern is used, lSI is the effect of neighbouring pulses in a pulse train
spilling over into adjacent pulses and forces a reduction in the allowable permitted pulse rate for a
given line length in order to maintain adequate distinction between adjacent pulses. The eye pattern
is displayed on an oscilloscope with the term 'Eye' coming from the appearance of the trace on the
CRT.

5-16

Data Transmission

1.4.1. Setting up the eye pattern
The eye pattern is obtained by applying a random non return zero (NRZ) code down the transmission
line under test This represents all possible pulse combinations. The signal at the receiving end of the
line is connected to the vertical amplifier of an oscilloscope, with the 'scope triggered using the
synchronisation clock to the NRZ code generator on a separate trace. See Figure 5.5 Over anyone
unit interval the random code generator should produce a combination of signals. The resulting
signals can then be viewed on the oscilloscope over one unit interval, each unit interval should
resemble an eye, similar to Figure 5.6. For differential transmission both signals at the end of the
transmission line should be applied to separate amplifiers on the oscilloscope and then summed using
the summation facility on the oscilloscope.
Figure 5.5.1 shows a circuit to generate the NRZ code. In this case we have used it to test the RS-485
SN75176 type transceiver.

1.4.2. Taking Measurements from Eye Patterns
Before considering actual measurements the first key indicator on the performance of the
transmission system can be seen by simply looking at the eye pattern. The 'openness' of the eye is an

5-17

1993 Linear Design Seminar
indication of the 'quality' of the transmitted signal and is an indication of the noise and distortion
tolerance of the system.

Figure 5.7 - Measuring Signal Transmission Quality
For actual measurements the decision points of the transceiver should be superimposed upon the eye
pattern. The vertical distance between the decision points and the signal trace is an approximate
indication of the noise margin of the system. The horizontal appearance of the eye can be used to
determine the maximum jitter tolerance of the system. A good guide, and one that is used by cable
manufacturers to determine data rate versus line length curves, is to design with no more than 5%
jitter. Where % jitter is defined as the ratio of Threshold crossing Skew to unit interval as shown in
Figure 5.7. Jitter is caused by a number of factors including, signal frequency, noise and cross talk.
(Noise frequency can modulate the transmitted signal, for example 50 Hz hum or from other low
frequency sources). It should also be noted at this point the effect of threshold misalignment which
can cause severe problems with the received signal, reducing the detected pulse width considerably.

5-18

Data Transmission

I.S.Line Termination
The behaviour of the transmitted signal and the integrity of the data at the receiving end depends
upon the data rate and line length of the cable. There are two behavioural models; of a transmission
cable:

I.

Lumped parameter model (Short wire) •

H.

DIstributed parameter model (Transmission Hne)

As discussed in section 1.3.1 the distributed parameter model models the connecting circuit in terms
of distributed parameters (inductance, capacitance, resistance, conductance), rather than as an
equivalent lumped load on the line. The transmission line can be considered in terms of an infinite
number of small filter sections and as a result the transmission line is said to have a characteristic
impedance, Zoo Zo is independent of distance along the line and represents the voltage and current
relationship for an incident wave at any point as it travels along the line.

1.5.1. Transmission Line Test
Classifying as a Lumped or Distributed Parameter Model
All cables can be thought of as transmission lines; but the term, transmission line, is used with
differing meanings.
Consider a signal propagating down a simple data link comprising two wires. When the signal starts
to change at the transmitter output the effect of this change will eventually be seen at the other end
of the line. A reflection of the signal will occur, which will eventually return back to the transmitter
terminals.
If this happens before the original transmitted signal has risen to its peak value then the line will
normally be treated as a lumped parameter system rather than as a true transmission line. This is
because the line itself does not greatly influence the performance of the system.
A general rule of thumb for determining if a system should be treated as a true transmission line can
be formulated; If the rise time , tr. of the signal is much less than the round trip propagation delay,
2f.pd, of the signal from transmitter to receiver and back to transmitter, then the cable can be treated
as a transmission line and not as a lumped parameter model. A better model is given in Figure 5.8
where a safety margin is built in to the propagation delay/rise time relationship.

1.5.2. Transmission Line Considerations & Effects
When the cable is operating like a transmission line, extra loads in the form of transmitters and
receivers can be added, providing that they do not cause too great a shunting effect on the line. These
extra loads, if they are evenly distributed along the line, can be treated as an extra distributed
capacitance along the line adding to the effect of the line capacitance and inductance. This extra load
decreases the line impedance and reduces the speed of the signal along the line.
In the case of the lumped parameter model the line represents a pure fixed load to the transmitter
device. For example, the capacitance of the line will be modelled as a fixed value which effectively

5-19

1993 Linear Design SemlDar
limits the output voltage slew rate of the transmitter (assuming it can supply a finite amount of
current to the line).

1.5.3. Transmission Line Reflections
Consider a driver circuit driving the line. When the driver output voltage changes state, the driver
appears to see the effective characteristic impedance of the line, Zo. This will cause the voltage at
the output of the driver circuit to reduce as a result of the potential divider action formed by Zo and
the driver circuit output impedance, ZD'
At any point along the line the ideal source impedance will appear as Zo and the ideal load
impedance will also appear as Zoo This gives the impression that the line is being driven by a voltage
source of twice the magnitude of the line voltage.
When the si~al reaches the receiving end of the line it sees a terminating impedance equal to the
impedance (Zo) of the line that it is already travelling on. It interprets this as a continuation of the
line. The voltage on the line will not alter and the current flowing along the line will flow through
the termination resistor and baCk to the driver via either ground or the other line in the system.
Operation of the circuit as just described would result in optimum data transmission efficiency, with
little or no signal reflections. However, circuit operation in the real world is not always so perfect.

5-20

Data Transmission
If the termination impedance is dis-similar to the characteristic impedance of the line itself, the

voltage at the termination point will alter. The voltage at the termination point is dependent on the
relative size of the termination impedance to the line impedance. If the termination impedance is
bigher than the line impedance, the line voltage will increase causing a positive voltage reflection of
the signal. Wben the termination impedance is lower than the line impedance, the line voltage will
decrease leading to a negative reflection. The same effect will occur at the driver output terminals
due to impedance mismatcbes between driver and line.
Reflections at each end of the line will eventually settle and leave a constant dc voltage on the line.
The value of this voltage is equal to the ideal open circuit output voltage multiplied by the
termination impedance divided by the sum of the driver output impedance and termination
impedance.
Reflections as described can cause problems when driving lines at high frequencies. False receiver
triggering can occur and repeated signal reflections will cause signal wave distortion.

1.5.4. Using Eye Patterns to Determine Zo
Referring back to eye patterns, these can also be used to fmd the characteristic impedance of a
transmission line. Figure 5.8 shows three sets of eye patterns, Zr > Zo' Zr < Zo' and Zr =Zo, wbere
Zr is 200 n, 50 n, and 100 n, respectively. Where Zr > Zo the signal is larger with multiple traces,
while with Zr < Zo the signal is similar but much reduced in amplitude and could cause signal to
noise ratio problems at the receiver. With Zr Zo, the signal is very clear with a near perfect eye
pattern. In practice it is possible to use a variable resistance and the eye pattern to determine the
correct termination impedance for zero reflections.

=

1.6.Noise Influences
There are two main classification of transmission scheme, single ended or differential. Each are
affected by noise influences in differing ways - the next two section describe each transmission
scbeme paying particular attention to the affects of noise. Figure 5.9 details both types of
transmission scheme.

1.6.1. Single Ended Line Considerations
Single ended data transmission systems consist of a signal line on which data is sent down, and a
ground line through which the current returns. A direct result of this is that the ground line forms part
of the transmission line, which can be of benefit in some circumstances but not in others.
One of the major benefits, and most obvious, is that a single ended system is the lowest cost solution
in terms of cabling costs. In general terms it requires only half the cable of a differential system. It is
also relatively simple to install and operate.
The main disadvantage of the single ended solution is its poor noise inununity. Because the ground
wire forms part of the system, any transient voltage or shifts in voltage potential may be induced
(from nearby high frequency logic or high current power circuits), leading to signal degradation
ultimately leading to false receiver triggering. For example, a shift in the ground potential at the

5-21

1993 Linear Dt'S1gn Seminar
receiver end of the system can lead to an apparent change in the input switching threshold of the
receiver device, thus increasing susceptibility to noise.
Cross talk is also a major concern especially at high frequenCies. Cross talk is generated from bo~
capacitive and inductive coupling. Capacitive coupling tends to be more severe at higher signal
frequencies as capacitive reactance deCreases. The impedance and termination of the coupled line

determines whether the electric or the magnetic coupling is dominant If the impedance of the line is
high the capacitive pickup is large. Alternatively, if the line impedance is low, the series impedance
as seen by the induced voltage is low, allowing large induced currents to flow.
These problems will normally limit the distance and speed of reliable operation for a single ended
link.
Cross talk can be reduced by;

5-22

i.

Limiting th4,l slew-rate of signals so that they do not cause cross talk to be
induced onto other lint'S

Ii.

Limiting the line length.

Data Transmission
iii.

Shielding the signal conductor.

While the common-mode noise could be reduced by:i.

Isolating the signal ground from power conductors (e.g. keep signal grounds
separated as far as possible from power grounds).

U.

Ground wires should be as low as impedance as possible.

iii. Using star ground system configurations.

Some of these techniques are used in systems such as EIA-232 e.g. MaXimum slew rate of EIA-232
is defined as 30 V/fJS while Futurebus+, an emerging high speed backplane standard, uses trapezoidal
waveforms to limit cross talk

1.6.2. Differential Line Considerations
A differential communication system involves the use of two signal carrying wires between
transmitter and receiver, such that the signal current flows in opposite directions in each wire. The
net effect of this is the receiver is only concerned with the difference in voltage between the two
wires. The absolute value of the de common mode voltage of the two wires is not important In
practice, transmitters and receivers have a finite common mode voltage range in which they can
operate.
The use of a differential communications interface allows transmission at higher data rates over
longer distances to be accomplished. This is because the effects of external noise sources and cross
talk are much less pronounced on the data signal. Any external noise source coupling onto the
differential lines will appear as an extra common mode voltage which the receiver is insensitive to.
The difference between the signal levels on the two lines will therefore remain the same. By the
.same argument, a change in the local ground potential at one end of the line will appear as just
another change in the common mode voltage level of the signals. The differential output to the line
will also provide a doubling of the driver's single-ended output signal. Twisted pair cable is
commonly used for differential communications since its twisted nature tends to cause cancellation
of the magnetic fields generated by the current flowing through each wire, thus reducing the
effective inductance of the pair.
The main disadvantage of a differential system lies in the fact that two cables are reqnired for each
communication link. This increases system cost but provides superior performance when data is
transmitted at high rates over long distances.
The RS-485 and RS-422-A standards both use differential type transmission.

1.7.Network Topology
In addition to considering signal attenuation, the effects of noise, sigDat distortion and correct line
termination, we must also consider the way in which stations are connected to the line. Furthermore
the position of the line termination resistor and device positioning must be considered. There are two
basic methods of connection, see Figure 5.10;
.
i. The star connection

U. The daisy chain connection

Considering the star connection, the transition edge from the driver will be loaded by a group of
separate transmission lines, rather than one. Each transmission line boundary will cause a change in
impedance resulting in reflections.
Another situation to avoid is the termination of multiple stations, since this could excessively load
the driver. Termination at the extreme ends for RS-485 (half duplex) and far end only for RS-422 is
recommended and is accounted for in each standard. Normally stubs (taps of the main line) should
be kept as short as possible so not to appear as transmission lines themselves.

Figure 5.11- Star Versus Daisy eluzin Topology
The recommended method is to use the daisy chain, a configuration where the transmission line
continues from one receiver to the next and only the last receiver on the chain is terminated. This
means that the transmission line and hence the driver will see one continuous transmission line with
only one termination resistor. Each tap-off will in effect be a stub, but in this case they will not be all
grouped together and will be kept very short to reduce their effect.
The Figure 5.11 shown further confirms the need to keep stub lengths short and the use of correct
termination techniques by comparing the effect on signal quality for the daisy chain and star method
of connection.
In both instances exactly the same application scenario was used as was the same cable specification.

The cable used was a flat ribbon cable with parallel copper wire conforming to U.L. specification
2651. Connections were made as shown in the previous figure and the total cable length from source
to destination was 2 m.

1.7.1. How Short is Short?
It has been described earlier that a pair of cables will act as a transmission line if the round trip
delay, tpd ,is more than 5 times the transition times of the driver, tT. The converse is true

propagatio~

5-25

1993 Linear Design Seminar
if the line is not to operate as a transmission line but as a lumped parameter model. This forms the
basis of the stub length calculation given below.
The rule of thumb states that the transition time of the pulse sent down the line should take ten times
the time taken for the pulse to propagate to the end of the stub. As a result, any reflections will be
incorporated into the transition edge.
From this basis, the length of a stub can be calculated using the cable and driver parameters.
The pulse speed down 'the line, U, equals the reciprocal of the product of the line impedance and line
capacitance, both of which are normally specified for the cables used. The propagation delay down
the stub should be at the most one tenth of the transition time of the pulse. These facts can be
brought together to give the length of the stub, Ls , as;

This means the length of each stub should be no more than 257 lDDl. Under this length the stub can
be considered as a lumped load and will not cause any unwanted reflections. The main effect of each
stub in this case will be a slight increase in the capacitance loading of the line.

2. Interface Circuits for EIA-232

2.1.General Information
This section on EIAfflA-232, or RS-232 as it bas been known in the past, will discuss the electrical
aspects of the standard, i.e. the physical layer. Initially we will discuss the latest developments of the
'E' revision upgrade and then cover TIs latest products conforming to this standard. However the
reader should note the products under discussion in this section are application specific to the 9-pin
DB9 Personal Computer DTE serial interface which is effectively a sub-set of the full EIA-232
standard. As a semiconductor manufacturer we find the majority of EIA-232 applications are moving
to this interface. Due to the nature of the signals i.e. 5 receive and 3 transmit lines the older
established EIA-232 products no longer provide an optimum solution. This interface is now driving
the need for single chip EIA-232 solutions. Additional features such as single supply operation,
increased ESD protection, power down modes have moved from the desirable features to the
essential features of today's interface. In the later half of this section we will discuss the DB9
interface and TI's products designed specifically for this application.
Looking at the DB9 interface one step back into the digital system, there is in most cases a UART or
ACE (asynchronous communication element). The ACE provides the parallel to serial conversion
and the necessary start/stop bits, parity bit generation and checking for error free data transmission.
TI manufactures a number of ACEs, the most advanced being the TLl6C552. This integrates two
serial ports with FIFO buffers together with a PC parallel port. Although not specifically covered in
this section a selection guide on ACEs is included towards the rear of this section.

2.1.1. Reliability Data
System designers have long been aware the mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) for most systems is
limited by the reliability of the line interface circuitry. This is mainly due to the shear power
dissipation of such line circuits. The older devices such as the SN75188 quad'driver ran at quite high
temperatures with obvious degradation on reliability. For today's products the use of low power
bipolar and more recently BiCMOS technologies significantly reduces operating temperatures while
maintaining the robustness associated with bipolar designs providing for a more reliable interface.
This is show by reliability data collected on TI's products.

5-29

1993 Linear Design SemInar

Life test data collected on a range of EIA-232 devices yielded a failure rate of 1.65 FITS (failures
per 1()9 device hours). This was at an ambient temperature of 55°C (to an upper confidence level of
60% and assumes an activation energy of 0.96 eV).

Figure 5.12 - EIA-232-E Industry Standard/or Data Transmission
The Electronic fudustries Association (EIA) introduced the RS-232 standard in 1962 in an attempt to
standardise the interface between Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Communication
Equipment (DCE). The DTE comprises the data source, data sink or both. The DCE provides the
functions to establiSh, maintain and terminate a connection, and to code/decode the signals between
the DTE and the data channel. Although emphasis was then placed on interfacing between a modem
unit and data terminal equipment, other applications were quick to adopt the EIA-232 standard. The
growing use of the PC (personal computer) quickly ensured that EIA-232 became the industry
standard for all low-cost serial interfaces between the DTE and peripberal. The mouse, plotter,
printer, scanner, digitiser, and tracker-ball, in addition to the external modem unit, are all examples

Figure 5.13 - EIA-232-E Electrical Specifications
The EIA RS-232-C standard, revised in 1969, was superseded by EIA-232-D (1986), and recently
bas been once again superseded by EINI'IA-232-E which brings it in-line with
V24, V.28
and ISO IS2110. (TIA refers to the Telecommunication Industry Association). The latest revision
includes an update on the rise time to unit interval ratio and reverses the changes made by the D'
revision, see Figure 5.14. Although an older standard, with problems like high-noise susceptibility,
low data rates and very limited transmission length, ElA-232 fulfils a vital need as a low cost
communication system. Consequently new products are being developed at a faster rate than ever.

ccrn

2.3.EIA-232 Specification
The standard sets out to ensure:
i.

Compatible voltage and signal levels

Ii.

Common pin wiring configurations

iii.

A minimum amount of control information between the DTE and DCE.

5-31

1993 Linear Design Seminar
It accomplishes this by incorporating the following areas in the standard:

Electrical and Signal Characteristics
Electrical and signal characteristics of the transmitted data in terms of signal voltage levels,
impedance's, and mtes of change.

Mechanical Interface Characteristics
Mechanical interface characteristics defined as a 25-way "D" connector, with dimensions and pin
assignments specified in the standard. Although the standard only specifies a 25-pin D-type
connector, most laptop and desktop PCs, today use a 9-pin nDB9S" conn~tor shown in Figure 5.17.
The reader should note the DCE equipment connector is male for the connector housing and female
for the connection pins. Like wise the DTE connector is a female housing with male connection pins.

Handshake Information
A functional description of the interchange circuit enables a fully interlocked handshake exchange of
data between equipment's at opposite ends of the communication channel. However, V24 defines
many more signal functions than RS-232, but those that are common are compatible. Twenty two of
the twenty five connector pins have designated functions, although few, if any, practical
implementations use all of them. The most commonly used signals are also shown in Figure 5.17.
It is worth noting that for applications which use the 25-pin D-type connector there is often a
problem in commnnication due to different handshaking signals employed by each system.

2.3.1. EIA-232-E Electrical Specifications
All EIA-232 circuits carry bipolar voltage signals with the voltage at the connector pins not to
exceed ±25 V. Any pin must be able to withstand short circuit to any other pin without sustaining
permanent damage. Each line should have a minimum load of 3 kll and maximum load of 7 kll
which is usually part of the receiver circuit. A logic '0' is represent by a driven voltage of between
+5 V and +15 V and a logic '1' ofbetween-5 V and -15 V. At the receiving end a voltage of between
+3 V and +15 V represents a '0' and a voltage of between -3 V and -15 V represents a '1'. Voltages
between ±3 V are undefined and lie in the transition region. This effectively gives a 2 volt minimum
, noise margin at the receiver.
The maximum cable length was originally defined in RS-232C as 15 metres, however this has been
revised in EIA-232-D and EIAffIA-232-E and is now more correctly specified as a maximum
capacitive load of 2500 pF. This equates to around 15 to 20 metres line length depending on cable
capacitance.
As mentioned in an earlier section, EIA-232 specifies a maximum slew mte of the signal at the
output of the driver to be 30 V I~. This limitation is concerned with the problem of cross talk
between conductors in a multiconductor cable. The faster the transition edge the greater the cross
talk. This restriction together with the fact of the driver and receiver using a common signal ground
and the associated noise introduced by the ground current severely limits the maximum data
'throughput.

Data Rate (Bits/Sec)

Figure 5.14· 'RS·232' Transition Time versus Data Rate
For this reason the EIA-232 standard specifies a maximum data rate of 20 kbps. The standard also
specifies the relationship between unit interval and rise time through the transition region (+3 V to 3 V) or lor. This is the main difference between the 'E' and the 'D' revision. This is showu more
clearly in Figure 5.14. EIA-232-D up to 8 kbps specified the relationship between transition time and
unit interval or bit time 11, to be 4% maximum. Above 8 kbps this was relaxed to 5 ~s maximum
independent of the data rate. Both the 'C' and the 'E' revision specify the ratio of tr/lb to be 4% all the
way up to 20 kbps. One can extrapolate this further, using the 4% figure and with the maximum slew
rate of 30 V IIJS, the maximum achievable data rate is 200 kbps however practically this is limited to
around 120 kbps. A number of software programs operate at transfer rates of 116 kbps. Furthermore
over longer line lengths the maximum drive current or short circuit current of the line driver becomes
the dominant feature on data rate as against the 30 V IIJS slew rate. As the line length increases the
load capacitance also increases requiring more current to maintain the same transition time. The
curves showu in Figure 5.15 indicate the drive current required to maintain the 4% relationship at
different data rates. In today's low power systems, this level of output current is not sustainable at
above say 20 kbps. In practice the line length is usually limited to around 4 metres for the higher data
rates. Most drivers can handle the higher transmission rates over this line length without seriously
compromising supply current.

Assuming a typical driver short circuit current of 20 mA and a receiver input resistance of 5 ill, the
typical time taken to pass through the transition region would be :-

seconds.
This equation can be manipulated further to gain a relationship of unit interval with line length in
terms of load capacitance and short circuit driver current. The equation in Figure 5.16 assumes
conformance to the 4% rule.

2.3.2. Calculating maximum line length
So far we have discussed line length in terms of load capacitance. For practical purposes we must
now consider turning this value for load capacitance into true line length. The standard states a
maximum line capacitance of 2500 pF. The input capacitance of a receiver is say 20 pF which leaves
2480 pF as the maximum line capacitance.
We must now consider the type of cable to be used. Standard EIA-232 cable as supplied by a number
of manufacturers has a mutual capacitance of approximately 40 pF per metre. In addition to this we
must add the stray capacitance. Stray capacitance varies considerably on whether the line is shielded.

5-35

1993 Linear Design Seminar
For non shielded cable the stray capacitance is approximately half the mutual capacitance, for
shielded cable it is double the mutual capacitance. As can be seen from Figure 5.16, for shielded
cable the maximum line length is 20 metres, with unshielded cable it is over 40 metres.

2.3.3. The DB9S Connector
As mentioned earlier today's notebook and laptop PCs, with their quest for reduced size, no longer
use the standard 25-way D-type connector detailed in the standard but have substituted it for a 9-way
D-type. This is commonly known as the DB9S connector. Like the 25-way, the DCE equipment
connector is a male outer casing with female connection pins, and the DTE is a female outer casing
with male connecting pins.
As the interface is now made up of only nine pins the handshaking lines have been reduced
accordingly but still are sufficient for most applications. Figure 5.17 shows the pins assignments for
the interconnect cable into the DTE connector. An explanation of the function of each signal is given
below:

Data Transmission
Data Carrier Detect (DCD) " Received Line Signal Detector
The ON condition on this signal line as sent by the DCE informs the DTE that it is receiving a carrier
signal which meets its suitability criteria from the remote OCE. In modems, this circuit is held on as
long as it is receiving a signal that can be recognised as a carrier. On half duplex channels, OCD is
held off when RTS is in the on condition.

Data Set Ready (DSR)
This is a signal turned on by the DCE to indicate to the DTE that it is connected to the line.

Receive Data Line (RD)
The signals on the RD line are in serial form . When the OCD signal is in the off condition the RD
line must be held in the Mark state.

Request to Send (RTS)
This signal is turned on by the DTE to indicate it is now ready to transmit data. The DCE must then
prepare to receive data. In half duplex operation, it also inhibits the receive mode. After some delay
the DCE will turn the CTS line on to inform the DTE it is ready to receive data. Once
communication is over and no more data is transmitted by the DTE, RTS is then turned from on to
off by the DTE. After a brief time delay to ensure all data has been received that was transmitted, the
OCE turns CTS off.

Transmit Data Line (TD)
The signals on this circuit are transmitted serially from DTE to OCE. When no data is being
transmitted the signal line is held in the Mark state. For data to be transmitted, DSR. DTR, RTS and
CTS must all be in the on state.

Clear to Send (CTS)
This signal is turned on by the DCE to indicate to the DTE that it is ready to receive data. CTS is
turned on in response to simultaneous on condition of the RTS, DSR and DTR signals.

Data tenninal Ready (DTR)
This in conjunction with DSR indicate equipment readiness. DTR is turned on by the DTE to
indicate to the DCE it is ready to receive or transmit data. DTE must be in the on condition before
the DCE can turn on DSR. When DTR is turned off by the DTE, the I>CE is removed from the
commuuication channel following the completion of transmission.
Ring Indicator (RI)

The ring indicator is turned on by the DCE while ringing is being received and is a term left over
from the use of the standard in telephone line modem applications. Primarily used in auto-answer
systems.

Signal Ground (pin 5)
This is the ground which provides the common groUnd reference for all the interchange circuits and
is separate from the protective ground. The protective ground is electrically bonded to the equipment
frame and is usually directly connected to the external ground. Any static discharges are then routed
directly to ground without affecting the signal lines.

5-37

1993 Linear Design Seminar

While all these pins are assigned, once again not all equipment uses every pin. Consider the mouse
which can use as few as 4 lines, Signal ground, RI, TD and RD. Most equipment does however
utilise a minimum ofRTS, D1R, TD, RD, CTS and DSR.
Also of note is the usage of the DTE interface. The majority of equipment uses this interface and
makes use of the null modem as a means of communication between DTEs. The null modem makes
use of feeding back the RTS signal to the CTS line on each interface, Figure 5.17.1 details the
connections for implementing a full null modem for the DB9S connector.

2.4.SN75C185: Optimised PC Interface
If we study the DB9S DTE intetface further we see there are 3 transmit lines and 5 receive lines.

This is an awkward combination for the standard EIA-232 IC configurations in use today. Consider
the ubiquitous SN75188 and SN75189 quad drivers and receivers. To implement this interface would
require 3 ICs, one '188 and two '189s. Equal combinations of drivers such as the triple driver/receiver
of the SN75Cl406 still requires two chips to implement the interface.
For this reason TI has developed the SN75C185. By providing the exact combinations of driving and
receiving elements, along with the necessary passive components, a highly optimised Solution can be

Data Transmission
provided - the SN75C185 is just that. The SN75C185 integrates three drivers and five receivers and
includes the necessary capacitors for driver slew-rate limit (30 VIps) and receiver filter
implementation, all in a single 20-pin package
The designer's dilemma is eased further by the use of a flow-through pin out architecture, see Figure
5.18. By aligning one side of the SN75C185 with the pins of the DB9S connector and the other to
industry standard ACEs or UARTs, printed circuit board (PCB) layout can be greatly simplified.

Figure 5.19 - Power Supply Considerations

2.4.2. SN7SC18S; Power Considerations
System power consumption is often considered very late in the design cycle. Of even more concern
is that the power consumption of the interface circuitry, being the least attractive circuit to design, is
often totally overlooked. The consequences of this can be catastrophic especially when using devices
in confined spaces. These areas will normally have very poor air circulation, causing the ambient
temperature of the whole system to increase.
These types of problems are particularly difficult to diagnose as failure can often be intermittent as
devices pass into and out of thermal shutdown.
For these reasons, low quiescent-power devices are becoming a necessity for modern applications.
As digital technologies advance, their power consumption decreases, making the interface circuits
the limiting factor as far as system power consumption is concerned.

2.4.3. Interface Power Consumption Calculations
Before the availability of the SN75C185 common implementations of EIA-232 require one quaddriver package and two quad-receiver packages; in the driver chip, one device is redundant while in

Data Transmission
the receiver chips, three devices are redundant. These devices would, however, still be taking their
quiescent current and hence wasting power. In order to provide the interface signals, three integrated
circuits were required while only two-thirds of the capability was being used. The calculations below
demonstrate this difference.
When comparing the 'C185 solution to that provided by the SN75188 and SN75189 devices, the
power saving is enormous.
Both implementations require three supply voltages; a 5 V and ±12 V supplies. The power
dissipated, Pdis, within each device is the quiescent power of the device, Pq , plus the power
dissipated in the input stage, Pis, and the power dissipated in the output stage, Pos, (when it is
driving the line).
Hence,
Pdis

= Pq + nPis + mPos

Where n is the number of active input stages and m is the number of active output stages.

SN7S1881SN7S189 Combination
Using an SN75188 for the driver, the quiescent power consumption would be 576 mW. In addition
to this the power dissipated in the input stage, Pisd:Pisd

= VCC * IlL
= 12 * 1.6mW
= 19.2mW.

This is multiplied by four to take into account all four drivers, putting the fourth driver into a defined
state so as to reduce any noise problems that could be introduced by leaving the input floating.
The power dissipated in the output stage, Posd, is:
Posd

= (VCC - VOH)* V~H

=(12-9) *3" mW

=9mW.
This figure will be multiplied by three to take into account the active three drivers driving the
interface line. These sum up to give a total power dissipation of
Pdis

= 576+4x 19.2+3 x 9

mW

=680mW.
The junction temperature of a DIP device would have risen by 74OC.
Using the SN75189 receivers, a quiescent power of 130 mW would be dissipated by each package.
This would be multiplied by two to take into account both chips.

The power dissipated in the output stage has a similar equation to that of the driver.

Posr

=0.45 x 10 mW

= 4.5mW
This power dissipated is multiplied by five to take into account the five receivers being used. The
input stage can also dissipate some power, but this power is not supplied by this part of the interface
system. The power dissipated within the IC will however cause the junction temperature to rise.

This power dissipation is then multiplied by five. The remaining receivers will require tying to a
state where they will not be susceptible to noise. Tying them to the 5 V supply increases the power
dissipation by a further 8.3 mW per receiver.
Assuming three receivers in one SN75189 are being used and two receivers in the other, the power
dissipated for the first receiver is:
Pdis

= 130 + 4 x 27 + 3 x 4.5

mW

=233mW.
The power dissipated in the second receiver is:Pdis

= 130+4x27 +2x4.5

mW

= 21OmW.
This raises the tempemture of the rlfst and second receiver by 250C and 23OC, respectively.
The total power dissipated by the SN751881189 combination is the sum of these three powers,
equalling J...U.llL

Using the SN75C185
The power dissipation of the SN75C185 can be calculated in a similar manner. The quiescentpower consumption of the SN75C185 is equal to:Pq

=VDD * IDD + VSS

* Iss + VCC x;Icc

= 12 * 200 + -12 x -200 + 5 x 750
= 8.55mW
The power dissipated in the input stage of the driver is:Pisd

= VDD x IlL
= 12x 1 JlW

= 121lW.
This is multiplied by three to take into account all of the drivers.
The power dissipated in the output stage of the driver, Posd, is:

= (12 - 10)

mW

=6.67mW.
This is multiplied by three to take into account the three drivers driving the interface line, giving a
power dissipation of 20 mW.
The power dissipated in the output stage of the receiver has a similar equation to that of the driver,
so:

Posr

= VOL x IoL
= 0.4 x 3.2 mW
= 1.28mW

This value is multiplied by five giving a total of 6.4 mW of power dissipated in the receiver's output
stages. The input stage will also dissipate some power, but this power will not be supplied by this
part of the interface system. The power dissipated within the chip will however cause the junction
temperature to rise.
The power dissipated in the input stage, Pisr, equals:

=33.3 mW
This power dissipation will also require multiplying by five. Giving a total input power dissipation
of 167mW.
Summing all the power contributors the total power dissipation is given by;
Pdis = Pq + 3Pisd + 3Posd + 5Pisr + 5Posr
= 8.55 + 3 x 12 x 10-3 + 3 x 6.67 + 5 x 33.3 + 5 x 1.28

=201mW.
The total power dissipated by the SN75C185 is 201

5-43

1993 Linear Design Seminar
This is represents a tremendous power saving. especially when considering that the line is still being
driven. The temperature rise within .the SN75C185 would only be 22OC. enabling it to operate more
reliably and with higher ambient temperatures.

2.4.4. On Chip Slew Rate Limiting
The EIA-232-E standard specifies a maximum slew rate through the transition region of 30 VIps.
Relating this to capacitance and current only 100 JiA of output current into 30 pF load capacitance is
needed to exceed the slew-rate limit. All devices are capable of supplying more than 5 mAo
Therefore if the slew rate limit is not. to. be exceeded, the switching speed of the driver's output stage
needs to be reduced. An eStablished solution is to place loading capacitors on the output of the
driver. The value of the loading capacitor required will depend upon the line length. but it is
generally in the order of 330 pF. The effect of this capacitor is to cause the output transistors to
saturate. causing it to short circuit current limit, thus preventing fast switching edges.
There are some major problems with this established process; one being the variance in current at
which the output short-circuit current limit operates. especially when taking temperature changes
into consideration. Again the value of capacitance placed on the line will depend upon the driver's
output short-circuit capability as well as line length. For example a device capable of sourcing
10 mA will need a total capacitance of 330 pF placed on its output to meet the 30 V 1J.lS slew rate
limit, while placing this value across a device capable of sourcing 4 mA will have its slew rate
limited to less than 12 V/J.lS.
Another problem encountered is the increase in power dissipation through the output stage. The
output voltage of the driver will normally be close to one supply rail. so when it tries to switch to the
other. the active transistor will have almost all of the supply voltages across it. The extra external
capacitor will clamp the driver's voltage close to the supply voltage causing the output transistor to
source large amounts of current. The combination of a large source current and large voltage Cause
it to dissipate large amounts of power. Operating at these prolonged bursts of high current will
ultimately increase the chip temperature which in turn can affect the long-term life of the device.
Bipolar technologies are normally much better able to withstand such effects
A better solution. and that employed by the drivers in the SN75CI85. is to place the slew-rate
limiting within the chip its:elf. Using similar techniques to those employed for slew-rate-limited
operational amplifiers. the slew rate of line drivers can also be limited. Using the Miller capacitance
multiplying effect, the slew rate of the driver can be slowed down. The on-chip capacitors are
normally in the order of 5 pF. while the currents driving the on-chip capacitor are the order of micro
amperes. thus reducing power consumption within the device. The biasing current to the output
transistors is unaffected by this technique and will be more than sufficient to drive the 3 leO load as
offered by the receiver.

2.4.5. Internal Noise Filtering
The standard states a maximum line cable capacitance of 2500 pF. which corresponds to an
approximate line length of 20 metres. As the interface line gets longer. it becomes more susceptible
to noise pick-up from the sUrrounaing environment. This pick-up is due in part to the inductive
nature of the line. As the signal switches. a rapidly changing magnetic field induces noise currents

5-44

Data Trarulmission

into the line, thereby corrupting signal data. The level and cause of this noise will dictate the nature
of solutions or precautions that should be taken.
For operation at high data rates, the use of a differential line might be the best solution. If however,
a low cost and simple single-ended solution is required then standard EIA-232 devices can be
modified to give noise protection. This is achieved by slowing down the response of the receiver's
input stage, making them too slow to respond to fast switching noise pulses. Even small levels of
input noise can falsely trigger the receiver. The maximum data rate specified in the standard is
20 kbps, corresponding to a minimum pulse period of 100 j.IS. Therefore in normal applications,
most devices are far faster than the specification requires.
To slow down older bipolar receivers such as SN75189s, a capacitor, Cc , needed to be placed on
each of its response control pins. This means an additional four capacitors per device, which can be
awkward and costly. The effect of this response control capacitor is to set up a low-pass filter on the
receiver's input In order to provide large pulse rejection, the capacitor needs to be quite large.
Furthermore, the filter response is asymmetric, affording protection against positive noise voltage
spikes only, negative spikes are unaffected, and will tend to attenuate rather than reject short noise
pulses.
Receivers in the SN75C185 integrate on-chip filtering which reject fast transient noise pulses. The
on-chip filters are more precise than filters implemented using external passives. Consequently the
receiver response is unaffected. These filters are totally symmetrical, offering protection against both
positive and negative noise pulses and with the ability to reject rather than attenuate short noise
pulses. To approach the level of filtering offered by the 'C185 receivers the standard '188 type
receivers require much larger capacitors and even then fall well short of filtering requirements.

2.5.SN75LBC187; Optimised for Portables
The SN75C185 is the ideal choice for computer applications where the bipolar supplies required by
EIA-232 are available within a computer system. Most desk top computers generate ±12 volt
supplies for powering the internal disk drive. However for portable equipment, e.g. laptops,
notebooks, hand held measuring equipment, the EIA-232 interface may be the sole user of a negative
supply. The cost of implementing a switch mode supply, using inductive switching regulators, to
generate the negative supply can make this option unattractive. Switch mode supplies also have the
draw back of increasing the EM! emissions, a factor becoming an increasingly important design
constraint Integrating a switch mode power supply on silicon would reduce the emissions, and has
been the dream of semiconductor manufacturers, but thus far no one has yet managed to integrate the
inductor.
An alternative way, and the basis of modem technology charge pumps, is to make switching
regulators using capacitors. In essence they operate by applying charge to a capacitor via an input
voltage and then adding, subtracting or inverting the voltage on the positive or negative voltage
terminals. This charge is trausferred into a holding reservoir capacitor that is then used to supply the

5-46

Data Transmission

output voltages. Furthermore such a scheme can be integrated into silicon. Using a network of
capacitors both voltage doublers and invertors can be made.
The SN75LBC187 integrates the charge pump on the same IC as the EIA-232 drivers and receivers.
It is fabricated in TI's proprietary LinBiCMOS technology and contains three independent drivers
and 5 independent receivers together with the switched-capacitor voltage converter. The
SN75LBC187 provides a single 5 V supply interface between the asyuchronous communications
element (ACE or UART) and the serial port connector of the data terminal equipment (D1E). This
device has been designed to conform to standards EIAITIA-232-E-1986 and EIAfI1A-562 and
CCnT recommendation V.28.
The switched-capacitor voltage converter of the SN75LBC187 uses four small (0.2 J.1F) external
capacitors to generate the positive and negative voltages required by EIA-232 line drivers from a
single 5 V logic supply input Like the SN75C185 the drivers feature output slew-rate limiting to
eliminate the need for external filter capacitors. The receivers can accept ±30 V without sustaining
damage. Furthermore the 'LBC187 is guaranteed to withstand up to 6KV ESD on any of its pins
making it TI's most rugged EIA-232 product
The device also features a reduced power or shutdown mode that virtually eliminates the quiescent
power supply when the IC is not active.
The primary application for the 'LBC187 is for battery operated, portable equipment where power
consumption is a key factor. A separate consideration, and one that usually goes hand in hand with
these factors, is that of shear physical size. With the 'LBC187, TI has used the latest SSOP packaging
to reduce board area to an absolute minimum. The new SSOP package reduces board space to 43%
of the standard 28-pin SOIC package Couple this with the small 0.2 ¢1 and you have the ideal single
supply solution for space restricted applications.

RS-232 116k Bits Per Second Operation

Figure 5.21 - RS-232 116k Bits Per Second Operation

2.5.1. SN75LBCI87; 116 kbps operation
As discussed in section 2.3.1 the limitation on data mte is one of short circuit output current and the
actual load capacitance. With the LBC187 the driver short circuit current, los, is higher than say the
SN75C185 and is therefore able to drive longer line lengths at higher data mtes. Figure 5.21
illustmtes this. The 400 pF load in the top half of the figure represents a cable approximately 3
metres long. As the 'scope tmces show, the 'C185 produces a perfectly acceptable output tmce at
116 kbps. Similarly with the 'LBC187 tmce.
If the line length is now upped to 20 metres or 2500 pF load, we can see how the short circuit current

limit now limits the slew mte. With the LBC187 the tmce is still acceptable and will provide reliable
data tmnsmission. With the 'C185, the data will still be tmnsmitted but the probability of error is now
increased. Most software programs that opemte 116 kbps, e.g. LaplinkTM (Laplink is a trademark of
Travelling Software Inc.) provide the interconnect cable as part of the system. In most cases this
cable is less than 3 metres in line length so either the 'C185 or LBC187 would be able to tmnsmit
data reliably. It is interesting to note that both devices would meet EIA-232-D if the rise time to unit
interval relationship was extmpolated, however both would fail EIA-232-E. Of course conformance
to EIA-232 is not relevant above 20 kbps.

Data Transmission

2.5.2. Conformance to EIA-562
A new standard has recently been introduced in an attempt to provide a low power standard for 5 volt
systems and also to increase the data rate over EIA-232. Known as EIA-562, the standard increase
the maximum data rate from 20 kbps to 64 kbps and facilitates lower driver voltages. The downside
is the reduced noise margin at the receiver. The specification also details the rise time and ripple
conditions of the driver. The SN75LBC187 is fully conformant to this standard.

2.6.SN75LV4735; 3 Volt EIA-232 PC Interface
Continuing the move to lower power systems the obvious choice is to reduce the supply voltage of
the system. Assuming supply current remains constant power dissipation is instantly reduced. The
driving force behind this reduction is once again the notebook type PC equipment To facilitate the
move to 3 Volts, TI has introduced the SN75LV4735. From 3 volts the device is still capable of
producing the required VOH and VOL for conformance with EIA-232.
Once again the device is designed specifically for the DB9S PC DTE interface containing 3 drivers
and 5 receivers for a single package solution.

The device is packaged in the TSSOP package with a board area of only 22 mm2 and a maximum
package height of 1 mm.

2.7.ACEs (UARTs) From Texas Instruments
Most EIA-232 systems use dedicated communication controllers. Termed ACEs (Asynchronous
Communication Elements) or UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter), these devices
are responsible for controlling the exchange of information over the ElA-232 interface.

The ACE
The ACE is a dedicated asynchronous communications controller designed to off load most of the
communication activities from the CPU, thus freeing the CPU for other activities. It has the ability to
add or delete start and stop bits and provide odd/even parity code generation and detection. Industry
standard devices such as the TL16C450 family contain many extra features as listed below:

•

Programmable bps-rate generator

•

Adds and deletes standard asynchronous communication bit

•

Fully programmable serlalinterface characteristics

•

Data communication diagnostic capabUity

•

Modem-control functions

•

Simple interface to microprocessors

• Maximum data rate of 256 k bits per second
All devices are designed using Texas instruments EPICTM CMOS process and operate from a single
5 V supply. The TL16C4S0 is the most common choice for standard PC applications as well as many
other asynchronous serial applications. The TI..16C450, boused in a 4O-pin package, contains all the
necessary facilities for implementing a single asynchronous serial port The CPU within the system
can read and report on the status of the ACE at any point in the ACEs operation. Reported status
information includes the type of transfer operation in progress, the status of the operation, and any
error conditions encountered, parity, overrun etc.
The TI..16C450 ACE includes a programmable, on-board, bps-rate generator. This generator is
capable of dividing a reference clock input by divisors from 1 to (216 -1) and producing a 16 x clock
for dividing the internal transmitter logic. Provisions are included to use this 16 x clock to drive the
receiver logic. Also included in ~e ACE is a complete modem control capability and a processor
interrupt system that may be software tailored to the user's requirements to minimise the computing
required to handle the communications ~. The TL16C451 is similar to TI..16C450 with the single
serial port, but also contains a Centronix parallel printer port The mM PC ATIXT sets the standard
for this parallel printer interface that all "compatible" manufactures have to follow. Tn.-level
signals are presented on a 25-pin D-type socket Apart from the choice of connector, this parallel
printer port is directly compatible with the "Centronix" standard printer interface. The TL16C452
has two serial ports plus a parallel Centronix printer port Using this ACE together with two
SN75C185s provides a simple three chip complete solution for the two EIA-232 ports plus a printer
port that is common on basic PC configurations.

2.7.1. The FIFO (First-In-First Out)
The CPU can send data at much faster rates than a normal ACE can handle. This is particularly true
for today's multitasking applications that demand high performance microprocessors. This can be
expensive in CPU overheads as the'CPU will be tied to the speed of the serial interface, i.e., data will
be transferred over the interface through the ACE and onto the CPU bus. This is true also when the
data is exchanged from the CPU to interface via the ACE.
Devices like the TL16C550B and TL16C552 alleviate this problem by including buffer registers and
FIFOs in series with the ACE's transmitter and receiver. These are quick access registers that hold
data until the CPU can be freed. The CPU can then execute a block read or write.
The ACE is, in effect, isolated from the slow communications channel.
The 1L16C550B is similar to the 1L16C450, but two 16-byte FIFOs are included to buffer the
transceiver and receiver data stream, further reducing the number of interrupts from the
microprocessor.

5-51

1993 Linear Design Semlnar

2.7.2. Forward-Looking Performance With Backward Compatibility
By allowing two modes of operation, the TI..16C550B allows users to maintain software
compatibility with earlier industry standard ACEs such as the TI..16C450. In addition to the
TI..16C450 mode, the TI..16C550B can operate in the FIFO mode. In FIFO mode, two 16-byte FIFOs
(First-In-First-Out) are enabled to relieve the CPU of excessive software overheads. The independent
receive and ttansmit FIFOs act as buffers, vastly reducing the number of interrupts required.
Furthermore two dedicated pins serve as handsbaking lines to a DMA (Direct Memory Access)
controller, thus allowing the FIFOs to load and unload data without direct intervention from the
CPU.
The flagship of the range is the TI..16C552, which is similar to the TI..16C452 in structure but with
the added advantage of input/output FIFOs as in the TI..16C550B
This device serves two serial input/output interfaces simultaneously in either microcomputer or
microprocessor-based systems. In addition to its dual asynchronous serial communication
capabilities, the TI..16C552 provides a fully bi-directional parallel data port that fully supports the
parallel Centronix-type printer. The parallel port and the two serial ports provide mM PC/AT
compatible computers with a single low-power device to serve the three-port system. Like the
TI..16C550B, the TI..16C552 contains 16-byte receive and transmit FIFOs that act as buffers to
reduce the number of interrupts on the CPU. Also in common with the TI..16C550B, the device
contains two pins for each ACE that serve as handshaking lines for DMA control. The TI..16C552 is
housed in a 68-pin plastic-leaded chip carrier, PLCC.

Integration of FIFO and DMA signalling circuitry onto a single chip makes the TL16CSSOB
and TLI6CSS2 one of the most efficient solutions for higher performance multitasking
systems.

2.7.3. Interfacing Between the TL16CS50B and the SN75C185
The circuit shown demonstrates the simplicity, in hardware terms, in implementing an asynchronous
serial interface with the SN75C185 driver/receiver and the communications controller 1L16C550B.
When interfacing between the 1L16C550B ACE and the Intel CPU bus, minimal glue logic is
required. Namely an 'LS245 Octal bus transceiver is used to provide drive current to an 'off-card'
CPU, and programmable array logic (pAL) to decode address lines and generate a chip select signal.
While an exhaustive description of this interface is beyond the scope of this section, a discussion of
key interface lines can be useful.
XinlXout:

rate is established by the reference oscillator clock frequency (xio) and divided by a driver specified
by the bps generator divisor latches.

TXRDY:
Transmitter Ready Output. This pin is used during DMA signalling.

RXRDY:
Receiver Ready Output. This pin is also used during DMA signalling.
DO to D7:
Databus. Eight 3-state data lines provide the bi-directional path for data, control, and status
information between the ACE and CPU bus.

RDl,RD2:
Read inputs. When either input is active (high or low respectively) during ACE selection, the CPU is
allowed to read status information from the selected ACE register. Since only one of these inputs is
required for the transfer of data during the read operation, RD2 is tied to its inactive state, i.e., low.

DCD, DSR, SIN, RTS, SOUT, CTS, DTR, RI:
These signals are the EIA-232 compatible modem control lines. Devices such as the SN75C185 are
employed to convert the TILlCMOS level signals from the ACE to EIA-232 compatible bipolar
voltages of between ±5 V to :I:15 V. The signal can then be transmitted over distances of up to 15 m.
The advantages of the SN75C185 can be clearly seen by the simplicity of the interface connections.
For example. driving/receiving combinations precisely match the interface requirement, plus the pinout is aligned directly to the DB9S connector.

WRl, WR2:
Write inputs. A logic applied to WRI, during ACE selection allows the CPU to write either control
words or data into a selected ACE registers. WR2 is tied in active, i.e.: logic low.

INTERRUP'f:
When active (high) the interrupt pin informs the CPU that the ACE has an interrupt to be serviced.
This interrupt could occur for one of four reasons;

•

Receiver error

•

Received data available or time-out (FIFO mode only)

•

Transmitter holding register empty

• Enable modem status Interrupt
The interrupt is reset (deactivated) either when the interrupt has been serviced or by a master reset
(MR).

MR:
Master reset. When active (high), MR clears most ACE registers and sets the states of various
outputs (i.e. interrupt).

5-54

Data Transmission
CSO, CSt, CS2:
Chip Select An active low on the CS2 pin selects the ACE. CSO and CSI must be tied active
(high) to ensure proper functioning of the CS2 chip select. A logic high on CS2 will de-select the
ACE.
AOtoA2:
Register Select These three inputs are used during read or write operations to select the appropriate
ACE registers. For example, providing the correct write/read operation had taken place at logic 0 at
A2, AI, and AO would cause the receiver buffer (read) or the transmitter buffer to write.

ADS:
Address strobe. An active low on ADS, the register select signals (AO TO A2) and chip-select
signal (CS2) drive the intemallogic directly.

3. Interface Circuits for RS-485

3.1. The Need for Balanced Transmission Line Standards
This section focuses on industry's most widely used balanced transmission line standard, the EIA
RS-485. After reviewing key aspects of the standard, the reader will be introduced to the
practicalities of implementing a differential transmission scheme based on a factory automation
example. Finally, new additions to Texas Instruments EIA product range will be discussed along
with their application, where appropriate.
Data transmission between computer system components and peripherals over long distances and
under high noise conditions, usually proves to be very difficult if not impossible with single-ended
drivers and receivers. Recommended EIA standards for balanced digital voltage interfacing provide
the design engineer with a universal solution for long line system requirements.
RS·48S is a balanced (differential) digital transmission line interface developed to incorporate and
improve upon the advantages of the current-loop interface and improve on the EIA-232 limitations.
The advantages are;
•

Data rate· to 10 Mbps and beyond

•

Longer Une length. up to 1200 metres

•

Differential transmission· less noise sensitive

3.1.1. Application Areas
RS-485 is an upgraded version of RS-422-A extending the numberofperipherais and terminals that a
computer can interface to, particularly where longer line length or increased data rates are called for.
Additionally, RS-485 allows for bi-directional multi-point party line communication and can
effectively be used for "mini-LAN" applications, such as data transmission between a central
computer and remote intelligent stations. For example, between point of sales terminals and a central
computer for automatic stock debiting.

As a result of its versatility an increasing number of standard's committees are embracing the RS-485
as the physical layer specification of their standard. Examples include the ANSI (American
Nationals Standards Institute) Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) which we will discuss in
section 4, the Profibus standard, the DIN Measurement Bus.

3.1.2. EIA RS-485
The balanced transmission line standard EIA RS-485 was developed in 1983 to interface a host
computer's data, timing or control lines to its peripherals. The standard specifies the physical layer
only. Protocols, timing, serial or parallel data, connector choice are all left to be defined by the user

RS-485 was originally defmed as an upgrade and more flexible version of RS-422-A. Where RS-422
facilitates simplex communication only, RS-485 allows for multiple drivers and receivers on a single
line facilitating half-duplex communication. Like RS-422 the maximum line length is not specified
but, based on 24 AWG cable, is nominally around 1.2 km. Maximum data rate is unlimited and is set
by the ratio of rise time to bit time, similar to EIA-232. In many cases it is the line length of the
cable which limits the data rate more than the drivers due to transmission line effects. see section 1.
The differences between the RS-485 standard and the RS-422 standard lie primarily in the features
that allow reliable multi-point communications.

3.1.3. RS-485 Driver features
i.

One driver can drive as many as 32 unit loads (one unit load is typically one passive
driver and one receiver).

ii. The driver output, off-state, leakage current should be 100 pA or less with any line
voltage from -7 V to +12 V.
iii. The driver should be capable of providing a differential output voltage of 1.5 V to 5 V
with common-mode line voltages from -7 V to 12 V.
iv. Drivers must have self protection against contention (multiple drivers contending for
the transmission line at the same time).

3.1.4. RS-485 Receiver features
i.

High receiver input resistance, 12 ill minimum.

ii.

A receiver input common-mode range of -7 V to 12 V.

iii.

Differential input sensitivity of ±200 mV over a common-mode range of -7 V to
12V.

3.2.Process Control Design Example
To fully understand the considerations of designing an RS-485 system it is advantageous to take a
specific design example. In this case we will consider a factory automation system with a host
controller and several out-stations. Each out-station is capable of transmitting as well as receiving
data.
The general system specification is shown in Figure 5.24 and comprises:

i.

Furthest out-station is 500 m from the host controller.

Ii.

We require up to 31 out-stations on the line. With the host controller this totals 32
stations in total.

iii.

System data rate will be 500 kilobits per second.

Iv.

Only one cable will be used for data transmission operating in half duplex mode.

With this system specification the main design consideration are:
I.

Line Loading including termination.

II.

Cable choice

iii.

Signal Attenuation and distortion

Iv.

Fault Protection including fail safe operation

3.3.Line Loading
The RS-485 standard takes into account the need for line termination and the subsequent loading on
the transmission line. The decision on whether to terminate or not will be system dependent and will
be affected by the choice of line driver and the maximum line length.

Line Termination
As we discussed in section 1 the test for whether a transmission line is to be considered as a
distributed parameter model or a lumped parameter model is dependent upon the relationship of
signal rise time, tr. at the receiving end and the propagation time of the signal down the cable. The
threshold between the two types of transmission line is given by the following equation:
2tpd

=tT

If we build a margin of error into this equation a better test is to determine the relationship of twice
the rise time to 5 times the propagation delay:

5-61

1993 Linear Design Seminar
If the relationship

2 tpd ;::: 5tT is true then the transmission line must be treated as a distributed
t

parameter model and terminated accordingly. If the converse i.e. 2 tpd;::: ; is true. the transmission
line can be treated as a lumped parameter model and termination is not necessary.

Figure 5.25 - The Unit wad Concept
To determine tr tests must be carried out on the transmission cable. For the purposes of this example
we chose a low cost non shielded, twisted pair cable - 500 m of a Belden type 8205 cable as supplied
by RS Components Ltd of the UK, reference number 360-964. On the driving and receiving ends we
connected a SN75ALS176 single channel transceiver. The rise time at the receiver end measured :

tr =0.9 ~ to the 10% and 90% points.
Assuming a propagation delay down the line of 5 ns/m, the time tpd = 500 x 5 = 2500 ns or 2.5 ~.

so in this case:
5 tr = 4.5 Jls and 21pd = 5 Jls, so 2 tpd > 5 tr and therefore the transmission line should be
considered as baving a distributed parameter model and consequently must be terminated in its

characteristic impedance. In this case as we are using half duplex transmission the line must be
terminated at the furthest ends.
To determine the characteristic impedance of the cable we used the technique described in
section 1.5.4. Zo in this case measured at 100 O.

The Unit Load Concept
The maximum number of drivers and receivers that can be placed on a single RS-485
communication bus depends upon their loading characteristics relative to the definition of a unit load
(U.L). RS-485 recommends a maximum of 32 unit loads per line.

Figure 5.26 - Signal Attenuation
One UL (at worst case ) is defined as a load that allows 1 rnA of current under a maximum
common-mode voltage stress of 12 V. The loads may consist of drivers and/or receivers but does not
include the termination resistors, which may present additional loads as low as 500 total for doubly
terminated lines.
The example in Figure 5.25 shows a unit load calculation for the SN75ALS176B. Since this device is
internally connected as a transceiver, i.e. driver output and receiver input connected to the same bus,
it is difficult to obtain separate driver leakage and receiver input currents. For this calculation

5-63

1993 Linear Design Seminar
reference is made to the receiver input"resistance, 12 ill, giving a transceiver current of 1 mA. This
can be taken to represent 1 U.L. which will allow up to 32 devices to be connected to the line.
Obviously it may be possible to connect more devices than the RS-485 recommendation, but this is
at the designer's risk.

3.3.1. Signal Attenuation
Section 1.3 discusses attenuation in more detail but a sufficient rule of thumb is where the
attenuation of the line reduces the driven signal by no more than 6 dBV. Attenuation figures are
usually supplied by cable manufacturers. The curve in Figure 5.26 shows the attenuation curve
versus frequency for 24 AWG cable. For 500 metres of cable and using the 6 dBV figure, the
maximum attenuation we can tolerate is 0.35 dBV/30 metres. In this case the 500 kbps data rate
attenuation is well within this limit. The attenuation of the fundamental frequency and higher
frequency components of the signal up to 10 Mbps will still be detectable at the receiver. This effect
coupled with the the variation of signal velocity with frequency (termed dispersion) results in
distortion of the pulse at the receiving end of the line.

3.3.2. Signal Distortion Vs Data Rate
The simplest way to determine the effects of random noise, jitter, attenuation, dispersion, on the inter
symbol interference is by the use of eye patterns. For information on how to set up eye patterns, refer
to section 1.4 of this Section. Figure 5.27 shows the distortion of the signal at the receiving end of
500 metres of 20 AWG twisted pair cable at different data rates. Using the system constraint of
500 kbps, we see the distortion is limited to the rounding of the signal pulse. If the data rate is
increased further, the effects of jitter then become noticeable. In this case at 1 Mbps we begin to
observe 5% jitter. At 3.5 Mbps we start to loose the signal completely and the quality of transmission
is severely degraded. The maximum. allowable jitter in a system should be limited to 5%. The causes
of jitter are discussed in more detail in section 1.4.2.

3.3.3. Fault Protection and Fail Safe Operation
Fault Protection
Factory control applications generally require protection against excessive noise voltages. The noise
immunity afforded by the differential transmission scheme, and in particular the wide common mode
voltage range of RS-485 can be insufficient Protection can be accomplished in a number of ways,

5-65

1993 Linear Design Seminar
the most effective being tbrough galvanic isolation which we will discuss later. Galvanic isolation
provides system level protection .but does not necessarily limit the voltages indcued on the
transmission lines with respect to the RS-485 driver/receiver grounds. This can be accomplished by
the use of protection diodes.
Figure 5.28 shows how external diodes offer transient spike protection for the SN75ALS176 RS-485
transceiver.

RT is the usual termination resistance and is equivalent in value to the characteristic impedance of
the line. Positive Temperature Coefficient resistors, R 1 and R2, provide current limiters for the
diode chain. Provided their ambient temperature resistance is kept below 50n they will be
transparent during normal usage and will not alter the termination value or attenuate the driver
output voltage.
ZI and Z2 are chosen to protect the input from positive spikes greater than 12 V whilst Z3 and Z4
protect the device from negative going spikes greater than -6.8 V.

Fail Safe Operation
The feature of fail safe protection is also a requirement in many RS-485 applications, however its
usefulness needs to be considered and understood at an application level.

The Need For Fail Safe Protection
In any party line interface system, with multiple driver/receivers, there will be long periods of time
when the driving devices are in-active. This state known as line idle and occurs when the drivers
place their outputs into a high impedance state. During line idle, the voltage along the line is left
floating, i.e. indeterminate - neither logic high or logic low. As a result the receiver could be falsely
triggered into either a logic high or logic low state, depending upon the presence of noise and the
polarity of the floating lines. This is obviously undesirable as the circuitry following the receiver
could interpret this as valid information. The receiver should be able to detect sucb a situation and
place its outputs into a known, and pre-determined state. The name given to methods which ensure
this condition is called fail safe. An Additional feature wbicb a fail safe should provide is to protect
the receiver from sborted line conditions whicb can again cause erroneous processing of dataandlor
receiver damage.
There are several ways implement a fail safe, including a hard-wired fail safe using line bias
resistors or protocols. Protocols, although complicated to implement, are the preferred method.
However since most system designers, hardware designers in this case, prefer to implement such
functions in hardware a bard-wired fail safe is often implemented.
A bard wired fail safe should provide a defined voltage across the receiver's input regardless of
wbether the line is shorted to either supply rail or is left open circuited. The fail safe should also be
incorporated into the line termination if present wben at the extremes of the line.

Internal Fail safe
Manufacturers have gone part way to facilitating fail safe design by including some form of open
line fail safe circuitry within the integrated circuits. Unfortunately, due to power consumption
constraints, the extra circuitry has proved of little use. The extra circuitry is quite often just a large
pull-up resistor on the non-inverting receiver input, and a large pull-down resistor on the inverting

5-66

Data Transmission
input of the receiver. These resistors are normally in the range of 100 ill, and so when used in
conjunction with line termination resistors to form a potential divider, only a few millivolts are
generated. As a result this voltage (receiver threshold voltage) is insufficient to switch the receiver.
To use these internal resistors effectively means no line termination resistors can be used, which
reduces the allowed reliable data rate enormously.

External Fail safe-Open Line Conditions
A more reliable way of offering open line fail safe is to use external pull-up and pull-down resistors.
There two basic ways of doing thiS; one way is to polarise the line with the pull-up/pull-down
resistors and use these resistors to match the line impedance. Another way is to use larger polarising
resistors while using an extra resistor to terminate the line. The first idea has one advantage in that it
provides a low impedance path to an
ground, so that any currents induced on to the line have a
low impedance path to ground. However a problem is encountered with this method because the
driver output now has to drive very much lower impedance's. If the driver output current capability
is poor the device could easily go into output short circuit current limit. The second way, although
requiring an extra resistor will not load the driver's output to such an excess.

ac.

Placing external pull-up and pull-down resistors R 1 on the non-inverting and inverting inputs of the
receiver will produce open circuit fail safe. Terminating the transmission line with its characteristic

5-67

1993 Linear Design Seminar
impedance, Zo, produces a potential divider between 2R1 and
line, V oc, equals

Zo.

The voltage formed across the

Devices meeting the RS-485 receiver threshold voltage specifications require Voc to be greater than
200 m V. From this the relationship of R 1 to Zo can be derived:-

With V cc = 5V, Voc = 200mV and Zo = 100 n, yields Rl =·1.2 W.
Biasing the receiver in this way will only provide open line fail safe, it will not provide shorted line
fail safe. However, when using transceivers, like the SN75ALS176, it is not possible to provide
shorted line fail safe configurations, since the driver and receiver share the same
pins. Hence for
devices like the SN75ALS176 this open line configuration is the optimum fail safe available.

Ie.

External Fail safe-Shorted Line Conditions
To implement protection from the shorted line condition, further resistors are required. When the
line is shorted the transmission line's impedance goes to zero and the termination resistors will also
be shorted. Putting extra resistors in series with the input to the receiver can provide shorted line fail
safe protection.
The extra resistors, R3 in Figure 5.29, can only be added when using devices with separate driver
outputs and receiver inputs. So intemally wired transceivers cannot be used to offer shorted line fail
safe. If this fonn of protection is required then a device such as the SN75ALSI80, with its separate
driver outputs and receiver inputs, should be used. If a transceiver type device was used then the
extra resistors R3 would cause extra attenuation of the output signal. The 'ALS180 will have its
driver outputs fed directly to the line, bypassing resistors R3.

Calculating the Resistor Values
If the line became shorted then R2 would be removed leaving a voltage across the receiver inputs
of:-

For RS-485 applications the standard specifies Vrx to be greater than 200 m V. So

Vex = Vth = 200 mV.
Using this figure, along with the minimum permissible supply voltage for the devices gives a
relationship between Rl and R3.
When the line goes into a high impedance state the receiver will see the two R3 in series with R2
plus the two R 1's pulling up and down on either input. The receiver input voltage will now be:

Relating this new Vex to the minimum specified in the standard, V th, gives:

The values of R1, R2, and R3 only apply for receivers at the extreme of the line; if there are more
receivers on the line then fail safe can be accomplished by multiplying the values of R1 and R3 by
half of the number of receivers on the line. This is done by assuming the input stages of all the
receivers are the same, all R1 resistors are the same, and that all R3 resistors are the same Since all
of R1 and all of R3 resistors will be in parallel, their overall resistance will be divided by half the
number of receivers. If there is a large number of receivers on the line there is a danger of R3
becoming too large and forming a large potential divider with the input resistance of the receiver,
normally around 12 ill.

3.3.4. Galvanic Isolation
In the previous sections the need for line termination, receiver fail safe and noise protection was
highlighted. All these elements can be found in an industrial process control and data collection
application, which is shown in Figure 5.30.

The capability of meeting toughened noise legislation is a key requirement for many new end
products and appli'1ltions. Computer and industrial serial interfacing are areas where noise can
seriously affect the integrity of data transfer, and a proven route to improved noise performance for
any interface system is galvanic isolation.
Such isolation in data communication systems is achieved without direct galvanic connection or
wires between drivers and receivers. Magnetic linkage from transformers provide the power for the
system, and optical linkage provides the data connection. Galvanic isolation removes the ground
loop currents from data lines and hence the impressed noise voltages which affect the signal are also
eliminated. Common mode noise effects can be completely removed and many forms of radiated
noise can be reduced to negligible limits using this technique.
For example consider the case in a process control system where the interface node, shown in Figure
5.30, connects between a data logger and host computer via the RS-485 link:. When an adjacent
electric motor is started up, a momentary difference in ground potentials at the data logger and the
computer may occur due to a surge in current. If no isolation scheme is employed for the data
communication path, data may be lost during the surge interval and in the worst case damage to the
computer could occur.

Circuit Description
The schematic shown forms an interface, one node, for a "distributed controlling, regulation and
supervision (DCRS) system". Such a scheme could be used in a process control type application.
Transmission takes place via a 2-wire bus, formed by a twisted-pair, shielded cable connected in a

capability. Low power is crucial in this type of application since many remote outstations will either
be battery operated or require battery back-up capability.
Transceiver protection circuitry is formed by Zl, q, Z3 and Z4 along with current limiters PTCl
and PTC2 (see previous example). Line termination is formed by a combination of RT> Rl and R2'

photo diode, a high gain amplifier and a Shottky clamped open collector output transistor. An input
diode forward current of 5mA will switch the output transistor low, providing an on state drive
current of 13 mA (eight 1.6 mA TTL loads). A TTL input is provided for applications that require

3.4.SN75LBC176; Ultra Low Power
The key feature of the SN75LBC176 is the very low power consumption, 1 mW. Compare this to the
consumption of the older generation SN75176A, where the quiescent power is as high as 200 mW.
Normally low power consumption signifies a reduction in ac performance. In the case of the
'LBC176 the ac performance is improved over the SN75176A. Data rates of greater than 10 Mbps are
achievable while still being conformant to RS-485. The low power consumption has further benefits
than simply reducing supply current:

3.4.1. Improve MTBF
Although not representing the most glamorous end of the semiconductor design spectrum, reliable
line interface circuits are crucial if the overall system mean time between failure (MTBF) is to be
minimised. System designers have long been aware that often the weak link in ensuing system
reliability has been line interface circuits. This vulnerability is due in part to the circuits close
proximity to the outside world via the edge connector. Consequently interface circuits are
particularly susceptible to failure from high external voltages caused by noise, ESD or incorrect
insertion of cables. For this reason the technology of choice for many Texas Instmments emerging
interface products is LinBiCMOS.

LinBiCMOS, the Technology of Choice
LinBiCMOS is based on TI's highly successful LinCMOS process. LinCMOS is a 3 IJ.Dl pure CMOS
technology with 16 V capability, making it ideal for the design of low power analog products such as
op-amps and analog-to-digital converters (many examples of which are discussed elsewhere in this
book). By shrinking the geometry to 2 IJ.Dl and adding a high performance 30 V bipolar structure, a
new analog merged bipolar/CMOS technology has been produced.
Probably LinBiCMOS's greatest attribute is its modularity. When generating a new technology it is
difficult to achieve a balance between performance and cost, as many "nice to have" features can
make a process too expensive to address a wide range of opportunities.
By making LinBiCMOS modUlar, only the process modules needed to address a particular
application need be used, making it very cost effective. Modules available for LinBiCMOS
include high speed NPNs (with an t;. of 30Hz compared with 500MHz for the standard transistor),
double level metal for better logic integration and current handling, isolated high value polysilicon
resistors and shottky diodes for clamping.

The Applications
With its high voltage capability and excellent switching speed LinBiCMOS is ideal to address
standards such as EIA-232 and RS-485. For example the RS-485 standard, demands that driver
outputs can be shorted to +12V and -7V without damage. This is particularly difficult to implement
as RS-485 devices are designed to operate from a single 5 V supply, meaning that parts of the chip
must be designed to operate well outside its supply rails. Further more the "party line" nature of the
standard requires devices that must be able to withstand contention (multiple drivers accessing the
bus simultaneous) without failure. For this reason short circuit protection and thermal shutdown are
built into the Chip.

Figure 5.34 - Single Ended SCSI Termination

4.2.3. Passive and Active SCSI Termination
SCSI termination has traditionally been carried out using passive termination networks. As illustrated
in Figure 5.34 these consist of 2 resistors per signal line ; a 220 n pull up resistor connected to the
termination power source (Termpwr), and a 330 n pull down resistor connected to ground. The
Shottky diode is needed by all termination schemes to protect the power source from reverse
currents.
This type of termination typically results in a maximum line current of around 17 mAo Assuming the
terminator is on a heavily loaded bus, signified by an impedance of approximately 75 n, then the
above equation gives a rust step value of 1.76 V - well short of the desired 2.0 V level.
In addition to this limited current capability and the power consumption penalty imposed by the
resistor dividers, passive terminators also suffer from an unregulated line bias voltage. As a result the

1993 Linear Design Seminar
line voltage will fluctuate with variations in the load current and Termpwr, leading to smaller noise
margins, lower line currents, and reduced data rates.
The most common alternative to passive termination replaces the resistive network with a voltage
regulator in series with a single 110 n resistor per line (fig 4.34). This method, known as Active,
Boulay, or Alternative 2 termination, was developed to overcome two of the main shortcomings of
passive terminatiOB.

The 110 n resistors increase the typical line current available on de-assertion to 21 mA, which, from
a transmission line viewpoint, is equivalent to a 35% increase in line impedance. The line current
and the high-level noise margins are also more stable since Termpwr is no longer used to set the bias
voltage directly. Instead it is used to form the input to the voltage regulator, which then provides a
regulated bias voltage.
The 1L-SCSI285 and 'IL2217-285 low dropout regulators from Texas Instruments are specifically
designed for active SCSI termination. With an overall accuracy of 2· % and a maximum dropout
voltage of 0.6V the 1L-SCSI285 is the highest performance dropout regulator available for SCSI
active termination.

4.2.4. Current Source Termination Using the TL2218
Although active termination brings a number of advantages to SCSI termination these can be further
improved upon. The TI..2218-285 from Texas Instruments is a completely new type of SCSI
terminator which does just that.
During de-assertion the TI..2218-285 operates as a 23.5 rnA current source which is able to maintain
this current level until the signal reaches the correct SCSI open circuit voltage. At this point the
TI..2218-285 becomes a voltage source of 2.85 V.
The additional current supplied by the TI..2218-285 reduces the low-to-high transition time by
ensuring that each voltage step is consistently the largest possible. The effect of this can be seen in
Figure 5.36, which shows the signal wave forms obtained after using a TI..2218-285, a commercially
available active terminator, and a passive termination network to terminate a 50 n cable (the
equivalent of a heavily loaded bus). Even at 10 MHz the first step voltage of the TI..2218-285
terminated system still exceeds the desired 2.0 V level.
Another feature of the TI..2218-285 is the inclusion of a disable function which allows the terminator
output to be shut down. This is particularly useful for a peripheral which finds itself somewhere other
than the physical end of the bus, and needs some way of easily 'removing' its terminator.
If disabled the TI..2218-285 consumes just 500 J.1A. of current, and maintains an output capacitance of
6 pF. Allowing for the 15 - 16 pF typical output capacitance of a peripherals transceivers, this will
give a total node capacitance well within the 25 pF SCSI limit. An active terminator, on the other
hand, will normally maintain a disabled output capacitance of 10 pF, often leaving the system to
operate outside of the SCSI specification.
Use of the TI..2218-285 also removes two possible causes of system failure or driver damage
associated with active termination .. Firstly the 2% output tolerance of the TI..2218-285 ensures it
does not supply more current than allowed by the driver protecting SCSI limit. The tolerances of the
voltage regulator and the 110 n resistors used in active termination, however, can result in the
terminator supplying in excess of the maximum 24 mAo
The other potentially damaging situation arises when active negation drivers are being used. These
devices sense bus voltages and source sufficient additional current to ensure that first step voltages
reaches the minimum SCSI level. Despite this attractive feature their relatively high cost has limited
their use to ultra fast changing control lines such as ACK and REQ.
To be compatible with active negation drivers it is clear that any terminator connected to the bus
must be able to sink current. Again this is a problem with active termination but not with either the
TI..2218-285 or a passive terminator. The voltage regulator of an active terminator will shutdown
when any driver voltage exceeds 2.85 V. This allows the line voltage to rise and any driver which
then pulls low may sink more than their 48 rnA limit.

4.2.5. Power Considerations
As well as enabling increased data rates, termination will also increase the power consumption of a
SCSI system. As SCSI has found increased usage in portable or battery powered systems this has
become more important Exactly how much depends upon the method of termination, but not quite
as obviously as might at first be thought.
During data on periods, the power dissipation of each of the SCSI termination methods is very
similar. For an 8 bit bus with all the data lines asserted the power dissipation in each case will be
around 1 W.
During data off periods the position is signifIcantly changed. The resistor dividers of a passive
terminator will still draw around 750 mW of power. Both the TL2218-285 and active terminators,
however, require a total quiescent current of less than 10 mA, providing a 30x saving in power
consumption.
For a single TL2218-285 it is possible to calculate a worst case dynamic power dissipation of
493 mW. This assumes that all nine lines in the package are asserted simultaneously and experience
a 50% duty cycle. In some systems it may be desirable to avoid any single device dissipating this
much power. This can be achieved by partitioning the SCSI bus lines in an appropriate manner. One

5-84

Data Transmission
such method is to split the data lines between the two devices (for an 8 bit system) and also assign
the REQ and ACK lines to separate packages.
Battery powered systems will also benefit from the extended Termpwr range of the 1L2218-285.
Compared to competing solutions which require a minimum Termpwr of 4 volts, the 3.5 V to 5.5 V
range of the 1L2218-285 greatly increases the potential for prolonged operation.

4.3.Differential SCSI
4.3.1. SN7SLBC976DL; Two Chip Differential SCSI
Much debate has taken place on differential versus single ended SCSI for data rates above 5 million
transfers per second (MTps). It is clear however, that for data rates approaching 10 MTps and at line
lengths in excess of 6 metres, differential SCSI is essential.
As we discussed earlier, the standard 8-bit interface is made up of 8 data lines, one parity bit, and 9
control lines, making 18 channels in total. The only differential transceivers capable of transmitting
at 10 MTps data rate have utilised the LS and ALS technologies. Using these technologies and
considering the 18 transceivers per interface the power consumption is quite considerable, 2.4 W
with all drivers disabled. Turn the drivers on and the power consumption rises to nearly 4 W.
From a designers viewpoint, 2.4 watts is a considerable amount of heat to remove from a system.
This is evident in the case of compact hard disk drives where shear equipment size is the limiting
element. A further factor is board area, using one discrete transceiver per channel, i.e. 18 8-pin SO
packages, is unacceptable for many applications.
From a semiconductor designers viewpoint integrating a number of transceivers is of course possible
however the limiting factor once again is power dissipation. The SN75LBC976 is designed to
overcome both the problems of power dissipation and integration. The device incorporates on a
single IC, nine RS-485 configurable transceivers each capable of transmitting at 10 MTps. This is
made possible using LinBiCMOS technology. With all drivers disabled the quiescent power
consumption of the 'LBC976 is a mere 1.5 mW, with all drivers enabled the quiescent consumption
rises to 45 mW, a considerable saving over LS and ALS parts. The package size has also been
reduced to a minimum using the 0.635 mm pitch 56 pin SSOP package which reduces board area
significantly compared with alternate packages such as PLCC. The reader should note that
irrespective of the device power, there is still the relatively high line current The SSOP package has
been thermally enhanced to handle this level of power dissipation. We will cover this point later as
we look at the thermal characteristics of the package.

4.3.2. SCSI and IPI Skew Considerations
SCSI as we have discussed is a parallel data bus. This is also the case with IPI. IPI, an acronym for
Intelligent Peripheral Interface, is similar to SCSI in that it is a high speed peripheral bus with the
same high speed differential interface requirements. By the parallel nature of the interface, both
standards transfer data over the cable more than one bit at a time. SCSI and IPI allow 8·bit (one
Byte) or a 16-bit (one word) data width and transfers as often as once every 100 ns or 10 million
transfers per second.
Since the logical state of anyone bit can change every 100 ns, this defines a period during which the
logical state should be valid across the bus. This is the unit Interval (UI). The voltage transitions
which define the start and end of the VI can propagate along the bus at different velocities due to the
physical differences along each electrical path. So the original UI at the start will be different at the
destination.
Time variation of the defining voltage transitions is typically called skew. The limit for skew,
designated tak(lim) , is the fastest minus the slowest propagation delays along any part of the bus.
This, in effect, will reduce the UI by tak(lim) establishing a minimum unit interval, DImm, that can be
transmitted with a particular data bus.

5-87

1993 Linear Design Semluar
The proposed SCSI-3 standard for fast transfers (10 MTps), defines U1uuD in terms of set-up and hold
times at the SCSI connector for inter-operability with any other SCSI device. At the time this
document is being written the requirements are as shown in Figure 5.38.
The budget behind the conneetor is left to the designer imd depends upon the SCSI controller,
transceivers, and layout being used. The table shows some skew budget examples with various
controller chips that would comply with the requirements at the SCSI connector. The column under
'Ree' (for recommended) is data for the worst case number for SCSI controllers surveyed by the SCSI
SPI Working Group and budgets 8 ns for the extemal driver and 9 ns for the eXtemal receiver. This
is the origin of the t"k(lim) specifications in the SN75LBC976 data sheet

Transceiver Skew Budgets/or Various SCSI Controllers
The time it takes one transceiver of the 'LBC976 to change logic states is called the propagation
delay time. For a driver this is designated as ~D and for a receiver too and does not differentiate
whether the logical transition is from high-to-low or low-to-high level. The t"k(lim) parameter for the
transceiver is nothing more than the maximum difference of the propagation delay times between
any two drivers or any two receivers on any two devices. Compliance to the t"kQim) specifications of
the data sheet and the recommendation of the SCSI standard is assured by measuring the propagation
delay time of each channel of each 'LBC976 and accepting only those devices within the t"k(lim)
band. To keep the production costs of the 'LBC976 reasonable, this testing is done at 25°C and at
70°C ambient temperatures at a Vcc of 5 volts.,
Admittedly, the die temperatures and supply voltage are all the same (or nearly the same) during TI's
production testing and not necessarily the same would be seen in actual use. However the sensitivity
of the propagation delay times to these factors is the same and repeatable from device to device. In
other words, as long as the operating environment of all of the channels of the SCSI interface is
similar, the change in propagation delay times from the data sheet conditions will be the same. This
will maintain the t"kQim) even though the actual propagation delay times may change.
It is nearly impossible to predict the instantaneous die temperatures of these devices in actual use.
Due to the non-deterministic nature of the state of any one channel and the averaging affect of nine
channels and of the package thermal time constant, the die temperature must be considered using the
mean power dissipation. It is also reasonable to assume the mean power dissipation of separate

5-88

Data Transmission

devices on the same printed circuit board to be close to each other and the temperature of the air
around them will not have a large «5°C) gradient between the two. Even if there was an air
temperature gradient of 45°C, there would be only about a 2 ns difference in the driver propagation
delay times and, from recent data, little or no difference in the receiver propagation delay times. If
such a temperature gradient actually existed across a board, it' is likely that skew budgets are not
going to be the problem with the equipment!

In summary:
1.

The designer should detennine the transceiver skew requirements based upon his controller
and board design.

2.

The current specification and testing of 1sk(lim) of the 'LBC976 is, the best compromise for a
cost effective solution.

3.

We have application information from our experience gained through numerous users with no
inter-operability problems detected at the time of writing.

4.3.3. SN75LBC976 Channel Power Dissipation Considerations
Channel Power Dissipation
To understand the SN75LBC976 power dissipation when connected to a SCSI bus and the
subsequent heat sinking requirements, we must develop a realistic model for the power consumption
under working conditions. We must consider the power dissipation within the silicon. There are three
primary sources, the de quiescent power, the ac or switching power, and the de or resistive losses in
the output drivers.
The current necessary to bias the circuits of a single enabled 'LBC976 differential driver is typically
0.53 mA and a maximum of 1.1 rnA. A single enabled receiver circuit requires 3.22 mA typically
and 5.00 mA maximum. The typical values have been measured on 94 SN75LBC976DLs from three
different wafer lots. The maximums have been verified over temperature on the same samples.

It follows the driver quiescent power consumption, Pocc is:
Pocc =lccxYcc

=0.53 mA x 5.00 V =2.65 mW/Channel average
=1.11 mA x 5.25 Y =5.83 mW/Channel maximum
And the receiver quiescent power, PRCC is:
PRCC =lccxYcc

= 3.22 mA x 5.00 Y = 16.10 mW/Channel average
= 5.00 mA x 5.25 Y =26.25 mW/Channel maximum
The average Icc of a representative sampling of the SN75LBC976 has been measured to be 9.77 mA
for nine unloaded drivers switching at 5 MHz (10 Mbps), a 50% duty cycle, and at a 'yCC of 5 Y.
Nine receivers at the same frequency and duty cycle and unloaded outputs consumed 36.0 mA
average. Since both measurements include PDCC or P RCCt they are subtracted below:

=3.9 mW/Cbannel .
The output stage losses vary with the magnitude of the output voltages or the output transistor
saturation voltages and with the load conditions. The following is based upon the solution of the
equivalent circuit of a differential SCSI bus and no further proof is included in this analysis.
For the differential driver, the worst case condition is with a driver asserting the line with SCSI bus
tennination and a differential output voltage of about 2 V. Under these conditions there would be
144 mW dissipated in the output transistors when asserted and 71 mW when negated. The average
output voltage of the SN75LBC976 driver is 2 V. As such, the average power dissipated in the output
transistors is also a worst case condition.
Driver output dc losses, POOH is given by:
POOH

=144.0 mW/Cbannel

The same circuit but with the line negated:
POOL

=71.0 mW/Channel

The receiver output stage is rated for sinking 8.0 mA at a maximum low-level output voltage of
0.8V.
Receiver output de losses, PRO' is given by:
PRO

= 8.0 mA x 0.8 V = 6.4 mW/Channel maximum

Since P occ + P OAC = P oo » P RCC + P RAC + PRO' the worst case power dissipation in a data
channel occurs when the driver is enabled and transmittiug data. This case will be used to analyse the
device power dissipation.

Device Power Dissipation
Assuming the probability that anyone bit on the bus is asserted is equal to the probability of being
negated, the state of the output is non-deterministic, and the thermal time constant of the device is
long with respect to the data transfer period, the mean die temperature will be determined by the
mean power dissipation. In the driver output this is the mean of the asserted and negated values:
Mean device output de losses: .

5-90

Data Transmission
= (POOH + PooU/2 x 9 Cbannels
= (144 mW/Ch + 71 mW/Cb)/2 x 9 Channels
=967.5mW
From the assumptions above and the probability that the driver output will change state on the next
cycle is equal to the probability that it will not, the mean power dissipated due to driver switching is
one-half P OAC which was measured with the switching loss occurring every cycle.
Mean device switching losses:
POAC(DEV)

= PoAd2 x 9 Channels
= (51.6mW/Cb)/2 x 9 Channels
= 232.2 mW

Total Device quiescent power:

POCC(DEV)

= POCC(average) x 9 Cbannels
= 2.65 mW/Ch x 9 Channels
=23.85mW

The total mean power dissipated in 9 enabled drivers transmitting over a SCSI bus for several
package thermal time constants is then
PO(DEV)

= Poo(DEV) + POAC(DEV) + POCC(DEV)
= 967.5 mW + 232.2 mW + 23.85 mW
= 1223.6mW

4.3.4. Junction Temperature and Layout Considerations
Measurements of the thermally enhanced 56-pin SSOP package and lead frame used on the
SN75LBC976DL were performed on a 130 mm by 98 mm six layer printed circuit board with the
ground and heat sinking pins soldered to a common solder pad and connected to a second layer
ground plane through one via interconnect, see Figure 5.39. The ground plane was 0.254 mm below
the surface of the board and was a 1 oz copper layer. The results of two tests resulted in 9JA s of 52.9
and 46.6°CIW with zero air flow.
The mean junction temperature rise above ambient when all drivers are enabled and transmitting data
over the SCSI bus for several package thermal time constants can then be calculated.

Most designs require two junction temperature conditions to be met. The junction operating
temperature should not exceed 150°C under worst case operating conditions and the average
operating junction temperature should be no more than 110°C.
Since the worst case condition of all nine channels transmitting data was used for analysis, the
maximum ambient air temperature, TA' with no air flow should be:
TA(maximum)

=150°C - 6O.8°C
= 89.2°C

When evaluating the average operating junction temperature the effects of transmit/receive duty
cycle communication port activity must be taken into account.

4.4.Driving the 'Wired-Or' SCSI Lines with the
SN7SLBC976
The control lines of the SCSI bus have three Wired-Or'lines, these are BSY (busy), RST (reset), and
SEL (select). These lines are wired-or in that the line drivers connected to these lines drive in one
direction (assertion) only and are tri-stated (high impedance) when negated. This allows numerous
drivers to be active at the same time without affecting the logic state of the line and requires that all
drivers be released or off before the logical state can change. When tri-stated the bus tennination
network passively negates the signal.
The technique used for wired-or operation with differential transceivers is to input the signal into the
driver enable pin and connect the driver input to a fixed logic level input When the input signal to
the driver enable is active (high), the driver becomes enabled and the outputs drive the SCSI bus to
the state of the driver input. When the input signal at the driver enable pin goes low, the driver turns
off and allows the bus termination to negate the signal on the bus after all other drivers on the bus are
also shut off.

Many communications controllers used for differential SCSI have separate inputs and outputs for
these signals. When used with the SN75176 type RS-485 transceiver. these controller IIOs can be
directly connected to separate driver enable inputs or receiver outputs. The SN75LBC976 device
does not have a separate driver input and receiver input. these are tied together internally to save
pins.
Controllers with separate IIOs can still be used with the 'LBC976 using the connections shown in
Figure 5.40. The controller output will go high and enable the driver and disable the receiver. Upon
disabling the receiver. the external pull-up or pull-down resistor will drive pin A of the 'LBC976 to
the proper level for bus assertion and the driver will assert the SCSI signal line. When the controller
output goes low. the driver disables and allows the termination to negate the bus signal. After a short
delay. the receiver outputs are enabled and will reflect the logical state of the bus Signal.

continuing to work and participate in the various standard defmition committees to ensure new and
emerging standards gain the full support of TI's semiconductor experience. Testimony to this fact has
been the SN75LBC976 RS-485 transceiver, the specifications for which were closely aligned with
the outcome of the work done by the SCSI-3 standards group.
Over the next 12 months 11 will be releasing products in support of Futurebus+, and is actively
supporting the P1394 high speed serial bus Working Group among others.
