3-Driver/5-Receiver Transceiver
with 2 Receivers Active
in Shutdown
Quiescent and Shutdown Supply Current
vs Temperature
Low Supply Current: 300µA
Two Receivers Kept Alive in Shutdown
ESD Protection Over ±10kV
Operates from a Single 5V Supply
Uses Small Capacitors: 0.1µF
Operates to 120k Baud
Three-State Outputs Are High Impedance When Off
Output Overvoltage Does Not Force Current
Back into Supplies
RS232 I/O Lines Can Be Forced to ±25V
Without Damage
Pin Compatible with LT1137A and LT1237
Flowthrough Architecture
The LTC
®
1349 is a 3-driver/5-receiver RS232 transceiver
with very low supply current. In the no load condition, the
supply current is only 300µA. The charge pump only
requires four 0.1µF capacitors.
In Shutdown mode, two receivers are kept alive and the
supply current is 35µA. All RS232 outputs assume a high
impedance state in Shutdown and with the power off.
The LTC1349 is fully compliant with all data rate and
overvoltage RS232 specifications. The transceiver can
operate up to 120k baud with a 2500pF, 3k load. Both
driver outputs and receiver inputs can be forced to ±25V
without damage, and can survive multiple ±10kV ESD
strikes.
