Operates from a Single 5V Supply
Low Supply Current: I
CC
= 220µA
ESD Protection Over
±10kV
Available in 16-Pin SOIC Narrow Package
Uses Small Capacitors: 0.1µF
Operates to 120kBaud
Output Overvoltage Does Not Force Current
Back into Supplies
RS232 I/O Lines Can Be Forced to
±25V
Without Damage
Pin Compatible with LT1181A and MAX232A
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 space-
saving 0.1µF capacitors. The supply current (I
CC
) of the
transceiver is only 220µA with driver outputs unloaded.
The LTC1383 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.

TR IN:
RS232 Driver Input Pins. Inputs are TTL/CMOS
compatible. The inputs of unused drivers can be left
unconnected since 300k input pull-up resistors to V
CC
are
included on chip.
TR OUT:
Driver Outputs at RS232 Voltage Levels. The
driver outputs are protected against ESD to
±10kV
for
human body model discharges.
RX IN:
Receiver Inputs. These pins can be forced to
±25V
without damage. The receiver inputs are protected against
ESD to
±10kV
for human body model discharges. Each
receiver provides 0.4V of hysteresis for noise immunity.
RX OUT:
Receiver Outputs with TTL/CMOS Voltage
Levels.
