The LT®1039 is a triple RS232 driver/receiver that in-
cludes shutdown. Each receiver will accept up to ±30V
input and can drive either TTL or CMOS logic. The RS232
drivers accept TTL logic inputs and output RS232 voltage
levels. The outputs are fully protected against overload
and can be shorted to ground or up to ±30V without
damage to the drivers. Additionally, when the system is
shut down or power is off, the outputs are in a high
impedance state allowing data line sharing. Bipolar circuitry makes this driver/receiver exceptionally rugged
against overloads or ESD damage.
A BIAS pin allows one receiver to be kept on while the rest
of the part is shut down.
The LT1039 is also available in the 16-pin version,
without shutdown or BIAS pin functions.
For applications requiring operation from a single 5V
supply, see the LT1080A/LT1081A, LT1180A/LT1181A
and LT1130A data sheets. For applications requiring
15kV ESD, see the LT1039A.

PIN FUNCTIONS
V+, V– (Pins 1, 9): Driver Supply Pins. Supply current
drops to zero in shutdown mode. Driver outputs are in a
high impedance state when V+ and V– = 0V.
BIAS (Pin 2): Keeps receiver 1 on while the LT1039 is in
the shutdown mode. Leave BIAS pin open when not in use.
See Applications Information for proper use.
are TTL/CMOS compatible. Inputs should not be allowed
to float. Tie unused inputs to VCC.
REC OUT (Pins 12, 14, 16): Receiver Outputs with TTL/
CMOS Voltage Levels. Outputs are in a high impedance
state when in the shutdown mode to allow data line
sharing. Outputs are fully short-circuit protected to ground
or VCC with power on, off or in the shutdown mode.
TR OUT (Pins 4, 6, 8): Driver Outputs with RS232 Voltage
Levels. Outputs are in a high impedance state when in the
shutdown mode or when power is off (V+ and V– = 0V) to
allow data line sharing. Outputs are fully short-circuit
protected from V– + 30V to V+ – 30V with power on, off or
in the shutdown mode. Typical output breakdowns are
greater than ±45V and higher applied voltages will not
damage the device if moderately current limited.
ON/OFF (Pin 17): Controls the operation mode of the
LT1039 and is TTL/CMOS compatible. A logic low puts the
device in the shutdown mode which reduces input supply
current to zero and places both driver and receiver outputs
in a high impedance state.
VCC (Pin 18): 5V Power for Receivers.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The driver output stage of the LT1039 offers significantly
improved protection over older bipolar and CMOS designs. In addition to current limiting, the driver output
can be externally forced to ±30V with no damage or
excessive current flow, and will not disrupt the supplies.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
When driving CMOS logic from a receiver that will be used
in the shutdown mode and there is no other active receiver
on the line, a 51k resistor can be placed from the logic input
to VCC to force a definite logic level when the receiver
output is in a high impedance state.

To protect against receiver input overloads in excess of
±30V, a voltage clamp can be placed on the data line and
still maintain RS232 compatibility.
Driver inputs should not be allowed to float. Any unused
inputs should be tied to VCC.
The BIAS pin is used to “keep alive” one receiver while in
the shutdown mode (all other circuitry being inactive).
This allows a system to be in shutdown and still have one
active receiver for transferring data.

The receiver input impedance of the LT1039 is nominally
30kΩ. For applications requiring a 5kΩ input impedance,
a 5.6k resistor can be connected from the receiver input to

It can also be used to make an RS232 compatible shutdown control line. Driving the BIAS pin low through a
resistance of 24k to 30k keeps the receiver active. Do not
drive the BIAS pin directly from a logic output without the
series resistor. An unused BIAS pin should be left open.
