LTC2870/LTC2871/LTC2872
Multiprotocol Transceivers
The LTC®2870/71/72 is a family of multiprotocol transceivers with switchable integrated termination for 3.3V and 5V systems.
These devices integrate pin-controlled termination resistors that automatically switch in or out to match the transceiver’s protocol
selection of RS232 or RS485, allowing for easy interface reconfiguration and elimination of external resistors and control relays.
The LTC2870 and LTC2871 can be configured as two RS232 single-ended transceivers or one RS485 differential transceiver on
shared (LTC2870) or dedicated (LTC2871) I/O lines, while the LTC2872 can be configured as four RS232 transceivers or two
RS485 transceivers, or combinations of both, on shared I/O lines. This on-the-fly configurability helps reduce component count for
multiprotocol networks.
