TYPICAL APPLICATIO S
Simultaneous Full Duplex 75Mbaud Interface
with Only Two Wires
The circuit of Figure 3 shows a simple, fully bidirectional,
differential 2-wire interface that gives good results to
75Mbaud, using the LT1712. Eye diagrams under condi-
tions of unidirectional and bidirectional communication
are shown in Figures 4 and 5. Although not as pristine as
the unidirectional performance of Figure␣ 4, the perfor-
mance under simultaneous bidirectional operation is still
excellent. Because the LT1712 input voltage range ex-
tends 100mV beyond both supply rails, the circuit works
with a full ±3V (one whole VS up or down) of ground
potential difference.
The circuit works well with the resistor values shown, but
other sets of values can be used. The starting point is the
characteristic impedance, ZO, of the twisted-pair cable.
The input impedance of the resistive network should
match the characteristic impedance and is given by:
