The LTC
®
1323 is a multi-protocol line transceiver designed
to operate on AppleTalk or EIA562-compatible single-
ended networks while operating from a single 5V supply.
There are two versions of the LTC1323 available: a 16-pin
version designed to connect to an AppleTalk network,
and a 24-pin version which also includes the additional
single-ended drivers and receivers necessary to create
an Apple-compatible serial port. An on-board charge
pump generates a –5V supply which can be used to
power external devices. Additionally, the 24-pin LTC1323
features a micropower keep-alive mode during which
one of the single-ended receivers is kept active to monitor
external wake-up signals. The LTC1323 draws only 2.4mA
quiescent current when active, 65µA in receiver keep-
alive mode, and 0.5µA in shutdown, making it ideal for
use in battery-powered systems.
The differential driver can drive either differential AppleTalk
loads or conventional single-ended loads. The driver
outputs three-state when disabled, during shutdown, in
receiver keep-alive mode, or when the power is off. The
driver outputs will maintain high impedance even with
output common-mode voltages beyond the power supply
rails. Both the driver outputs and receiver inputs are
protected against ESD damage to ±10kV.

CPEN: TTL Level Charge Pump Enable Input. With CPEN
held low, the charge pump is enabled and the chip oper-
ates normally. When CPEN is pulled high, the charge
pump is disabled as well as both drivers, the noninverting
single-ended receiver, and the differential receiver. The
inverting single-ended receiver (RXI) is kept
alive to
monitor the control line and ICC drops to 65µA. To turn
off the receiver and drop ICC to 0.5µA, pull the SHDN pin
high.
TXD: Differential Driver Input (TTL compatible).
TXI: Single-Ended Driver Input (TTL compatible).
TXDEN: Differential Driver Output Enable (TTL compat-
ible). A high level on this pin forces the differential driver
into three-state; a low level enables the driver. This input
does not affect the single-ended driver.
SHDN: Shutdown Input (TTL compatible). When this pin
is high, the chip is shut down. All driver and receiver
outputs are three-state, the charge pump turns off, and the
supply current drops to 0.5µA. A low level on this pin
allows normal operation.
RXEN:
Receiver Enable (TTL compatible). A high level
on this pin disables the receivers and three-states the
logic outputs; a low level allows normal operation.
RXO: Inverting Single-Ended Receiver Output. Remains
active in the receiver keep-alive mode.
RXO: Noninverting Single-Ended Receiver Output.
RXDO: Differential Receiver Output.
GND:
Signal Ground. Connect to PGND with 24-pin
package.
PGND: Power ground is connected internally to the charge
pump and differential driver. Connect to the GND pin.

Functional Description
The “serial port” on the back of an Apple-compatible
computer or peripheral is a fairly versatile “multi-protocol”
connector. It must be able to connect to a wide bandwidth
LAN (an AppleTalk/LocalTalk network), which requires a
high speed differential transceiver to meet the AppleTalk
specification, and it must also be able to connect directly to
a printer or modem through a short RS232 style link. The
LTC1323 is designed to provide all the functions necessary
to implement such a port on a single chip. Two versions of
the LTC1323 are available: a 16-pin SO version which
provides the minimum solution for interfacing to an
AppleTalk network in a smaller package, and a larger 24-pin
SO Wide version which additionally includes all the hand-
shaking lines required to implement a complete AppleTalk/
modem/printer serial port. All LTC1323s run from a single
5V power supply while providing true single-ended com-
patibility, and include a 0.5µA low power shutdown mode
to improve lifetime in battery-powered devices. The 24-
pin SO Wide version also includes a receiver keep-alive
mode for monitoring external signals while drawing 65µA
typically.
The LTC1323 includes an RS422-compatible differential
driver/receiver pair for data transmission, with the driver
specified to drive 2V into the 100 primary of a typical
LocalTalk interface transformer/RFI interference network.
Either output of the differential RS422 driver can also act as
an single-ended driver, allowing the LTC1323 to commu-
nicate over a standard serial connection. The 24-pin SO
Wide LTC1323 also includes an extra single ended only
driver and two extra RS232-compatible single-ended re-
ceivers for handshaking lines. All versions include an on-
board charge pump to provide a regulated –5V supply
required for the single-ended drivers. The charge pump
can also provide up to 10mA of external load current to
power other circuitry.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
UU W U
Driving Differential AppleTalk or Single-Ended Loads
The differential driver is able to drive either an AppleTalk
load or a single-ended load such as a printer or modem.
With a differential AppleTalk load, TXD
+
and TXD
will
typically swing between 1.2V and 3.5V (Figure 14a). With
a single-ended 3k load such as a printer, either TXD
+
or
TXD
will meet the single-ended voltage swing require-
ment of ±3.7V (Figure 14b). An automatic switching circuit
prevents the differential driver from overloading the charge
pump if the outputs are shorted to ground while driving
single-ended signals. This allows the second single-ended
driver to continue to operate normally when the first is
shorted, and allows external circuitry attached to the charge
pump output to continue to operate even if there are faults
at the driver outputs.
Power Shutdown
The power shutdown feature of the LTC1323 is designed
for battery-powered systems. When SHDN is forced
high the part enters shutdown mode. In shutdown the
supply current typically drops from 2.4mA to 0.5µA , the
charge pump turns off, and the driver and receiver
outputs are three-stated.
Receiver Keep-Alive Mode (24-Pin SO Wide Only)
The 24-pin SO Wide version of the LTC1323 also features
a power saving receiver keep-alive mode. When CPEN is
pulled high the charge pump is turned off and the outputs
of both drivers, the noninverting single-ended receiver and
the differential receiver are forced into three-state. The
inverting single-ended receiver (RXI) is kept alive with I
CC
dropping to 65µA and the receiver delay time increasing to
a maximum of 400ns. The receiver can then be used to
monitor a wake-up control signal.
Charge Pump Capacitors and Supply Bypassing
The LTC1323 requires two external 0.33µF capacitors for
the charge pump to operate: one from C1
+
to C1
and one
from C2
+
to C2
. These capacitors should be low ESR
types and should be mounted as close as possible to the
LTC1323. Monolithic ceramic capacitors work well in this
application. Do not use capacitors greater than 2µF at the
charge pump pins or internal peak currents can rise to
destructive levels. The LTC1323 also requires that both V
CC
and V
EE
be well bypassed to ensure proper charge pump
operation and prevent data errors. A 1µF capacitor from
V
CC
to ground is adequate. A 1µF capacitor is required from
V
EE
to ground and should be increased to 4.7µF if an
external load is connected to the V
EE
pin. Ceramic or
tantalum capacitors are adequate for power supply by-
passing; aluminum electrolytic capacitors should only be
used if their ESR is low enough for proper charge pump
operation. Inadequate bypass or charge pump capacitors
will cause the charge pump output to go out of regulation
prematurely, degrading the output swing at the SINGLE-
ENDED driver outputs.

Thermal Shutdown Protection
The LTC1323 includes a thermal shutdown circuit which
protects against prolonged shorts at the driver outputs. If
a driver output is shorted to another output or to the power
supply, the current will be initially limited to a maximum of
500mA. When the die temperature rises above 150°C, the
thermal shutdown circuit disables the driver outputs.
When the die cools to about 130°C, the outputs are re-
enabled. If the short still exists, the part will heat again and
the cycle will repeat. This oscillation occurs at about 10Hz
and prevents the part from being damaged by excessive
power dissipation. When the short is removed, the part will
return to normal operation.

LTC1323
Driving an External Load from V
EE
An external load may be connected between ground and
the V
EE
pin as shown in Figure 15. The LTC1323 V
EE
pin
will sink up to a maximum of 10mA while maintaining the
pin voltage between –4.5V and –5.5V. If an external load
is connected, the V
EE
bypass capacitor should be in-
creased to 4.7µF. Both LTC1323 and the external chip
should have separate V
CC
bypass capacitors but can
share the V
EE
capacitor.
EMI Filter
Most LocalTalk applications use an electromagnetic inter-
ference (EMI) filter consisting of a resistor-capacitor T
network between each driver and receiver and the connec-
tor. Unfortunately, the resistors significantly attenuate the
drivers output signals before they reach the cable. Because
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
UU W U
the LTC1323 uses a single supply differential driver, the
resistor values should be reduced to 5 to 10 to guaran-
tee adequate voltage swing on the cable (Figure 16a). In
most applications, removing the resistors completely does
not cause an increase in EMI as long as a shielded connec-
tor and cable are used (Figure 16b). With the resistors
removed the only DC load is the primary resistance of the
LocalTalk transformer. This will increase the DC standby
current when the driver outputs are active, but does not
adversely affect the drivers because they can handle a
direct indefinite short circuits without damage. Trans-
former primary resistance should be above 15 to keep the
LTC1323 operating normally and prevent it from entering
thermal shutdown. For maximum swing and EMI immu-
nity, a ferrite bead and capacitor T network can be used
(Figure 16c).
