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

■

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

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, 3kΩ load. Both

driver outputs and receiver inputs can be forced to ±25V

without damage, and can survive multiple ±10kV ESD

strikes.
