The LT®1180A/LT1181A are dual RS232 driver/receiver
pairs with integral charge pump to generate RS232 voltage levels from a single 5V supply. These circuits feature
rugged bipolar design to provide operating fault tolerance
and ESD protection unmatched by competing CMOS
designs. Using only 0.1µF external capacitors, these cir-
cuits consume only 40mW of power, and can operate to
120k baud even while driving heavy capacitive loads. New
ESD structures on the chip allow the LT1180A/LT1181A to
survive multiple ±10kV strikes, eliminating the need for
costly TransZorbs® on the RS232 line pins. The LT1180A/
LT1181A are fully compliant with EIA RS232 standards.
Driver outputs are protected from overload, and can be
shorted to ground or up to ±30V without damage. During
shutdown or power-off conditions, driver and receiver
outputs are in a high impedance state, allowing line
sharing.
The LT1181A is available in 16-pin DIP and SO packages.
The LT1180A is supplied in 18-pin DIP and SO packages
for applications which require shutdown.
