The LT1342 operates from a 5V supply and a 3V logic supply. Receiver outputs can interface directly to 3V logic circuits. Included on the chip is a shutdown pin for reducing supply current to near zero. All receivers and drivers assume high impedance states during shutdown. The driver disable function provides additional control of operating mode. When driver disable is high the charge pump and drivers turn off. Receivers continue to operate during driver disable. New ESD structures on the chip allow the LT1342 to survive multiple ±10kV strikes, eliminating the need for costly TransZorbs® on the RS232 line pins. The LT1342 is fully compliant with all EIA RS232 specifications and operates in excess of 120kbaud even driving heavy capacitive loads. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Cor...
