DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®1348 is a 3-driver/5-receiver RS232 transceiver
with very low supply current. The charge pump only
requires five 0.1µF capacitors. The LTC1348 provides full
RS232 output levels when operated over a wide supply
range of 3V to 5.5V
The transceiver operates in one of four modes: Normal,
Receiver Disable, Receiver Alive and Shutdown. In Normal
or Receiver Disable mode, ICC is only 600µA at 3.3V and
800µA at 5V in the no load condition. In Shutdown mode,
the supply current is further reduced to 0.2µA. In Receiver
Alive mode, all five receivers are kept alive and the supply
current is 15µA. All RS232 outputs assume a high imped-
ance state in Shutdown or Receiver Alive mode or with the
power off. The receiver outputs assume a high impedance
state in Receiver Disable or with the power off.
The LTC1348 is fully compliant with all data rate and
overvoltage RS232 specifications. The transceiver oper-
ates up to 120kbaud with all drivers loaded with 1000pF,
3kΩ. Both driver outputs and receiver inputs can be forced
to ±25V without damage and can survive multiple ±10kV
ESD strikes.
