When driving CMOS logic from a receiver that will be

used in the shutdown mode and there is no other active

receiver on the line, a 51k resistor can be placed from the

receiver output is in a high impedance state.

To protect against receiver input overloads in excess of

±30V, a voltage clamp can be placed on the data line and

still maintain RS232 compatibility.

The receiver input impedance of the LT1039A is nominally

30kΩ. For applications requiring a 5kΩ input impedance,

a 5.6k resistor can be connected from the receiver input

to ground.

Driver inputs should not be allowed to float. Any unused

The BIAS pin is used to “keep alive” one receiver while

in the shutdown mode (all other circuitry being inactive).

This allows a system to be in shutdown and still have one

active receiver for transferring data.

It can also be used to make an RS232 compatible shut-

down control line. Driving the BIAS pin low through a

resistance of 24k to 30k keeps the receiver active. Do not

drive the BIAS pin directly from a logic output without the

series resistor. An unused BIAS pin should be left open.
