DESCRIPTIO
The LTC1338 is a 5-driver/ 3-receiver RS232 trans-
ceiver with very low supply current. In the no load
condition, the supply current is only 500µA. The charge
pump only requires four 0.1µF capacitors.
In SHUTDOWN mode, the supply current is further
reduced to 0.2µA. In RECEIVER ALIVE mode, all three
receivers are kept alive and the supply current is 50µA.
All RS232 outputs assume a high impedance state in
SHUTDOWN and with the power off.
The LTC1338 is fully compliant with all data rate and
overvoltage RS232 specifications. The transceiver can
operate up to 120k baud with a 2500pF, 3kΩ load. Both
driver outputs and receiver inputs can be forced to
±25V without damage, and can survive multiple ±10kV
ESD strikes.
