• Compatible with both LT1181A and MAX232A pins

description

The LTC™1383 is an ultra-low-power 2-driver/2-receiver RS232 transceiver that operates from a single 5V supply. The charge pump requires only four 0.1μF capacitors to save space. The driver output of the transceiver's supply current (ICC) is offloaded at only 220μA.

LTC1383 is fully compatible with all data rates and overvoltages RS-232 specifications. The transceiver can operate on a 2500pF, 3KΩ load up to 120kbaud. Two driver outputs and receiver inputs, forced to 25V without damage, capable of withstanding multiple ± 10kV ESD shocks.
