FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
TheLTC®1384isanultra-lowpower2-driver/2-receiver
RS232 transceiver that operates from a single 5V
supply. The charge pump requires only four space-
saving 0.1µF capacitors.
■
Operates from a Single 5V Supply
Low Supply Current: ICC = 220µA
ICC = 35µA in Shutdown Mode with Both
Receivers Kept Alive
ESD Protection Over ±10kV
Uses Small Capacitors: 0.1µF
Operates to 120kBaud
Output Overvoltage Does Not Force Current
Back into Supplies

Thetransceiveroperatesinoneoftwomodes, Normaland
Shutdown. In the Normal mode, ICC is only 220µA with the
driver outputs unloaded. In the Shutdown mode, the
charge pump is turned off, the driver outputs are forced
into three-state, both receivers are kept active and ICC
drops to 35µA. The receiver outputs may be forced into
three-state at any time using the receiver enable (RX EN)
pin.

RS232 I/O Lines Can Be Forced to ±25V
Without Damage
Pin Compatible with LT1180A
U
The LTC1384 is fully compliant with all data rate and
overvoltage RS232 specifications. The transceiver can
operate up to 120kbaud 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.
