TheLT®1780/LT1781aredualRS232driver/receiverpairs
with integral charge pump to generate RS232 voltage
levels from a single 5V supply. Using only 0.1µF external
capacitors, these circuits consume only 40mW of power,
and can operate to 120kbaud even while driving heavy
capacitiveloads. NewESDstructuresonthechipallowthe
LT1780/LT1781 to survive ±15kV air gap and ±8kV con-
tact ESD tests per IEC 1000-4-2, eliminating the need for
costly TransZorbs® on the RS232 line pins. The LT1780/
LT1781 are fully compliant with EIA RS232 standards.
Driver outputs are protected from overload, and can be
shorted to ground or up to ±30V without damage. During
SHUTDOWN or power-off conditions, driver and receiver
outputs are in a high impedance state, allowing line
sharing.
