The LT
®
1237 is an advanced low power three driver, five
receiver RS232 transceiver. Included on the chip is a
shutdown pin for reducing supply current near zero.
During shutdown one receiver remains active to detect
incoming RS232 signals, for example, to wake up a
system.
The LT1237 is fully compliant with all EIA RS232 specifi-
cations. New ESD structures on the chip allow the LT1237
to survive multiple
±15kV
strikes, eliminating the need for
costly TransZorbs
®
on the RS232 line pins.
The LT1237 operates in excess of 120kbaud even driving
heavy capacitive loads. Two shutdown modes allow the
driver outputs to be shut down separately from the receiv-
ers for more versatile control of the RS232 interface.
During shutdown, drivers and receivers assume a high
impedance state.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of the device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Testing done at V
CC
= 5V and V
ON/OFF
= 3V, unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3:
Supply current is measured as the average over several charge
pump burst cycles. C
+
= 1.0µF, C
–
= 0.1µF, C1 = C2 = 0.2µF. All outputs
are open, with all driver inputs tied high.
Note 4:
Measurements in shutdown are performed with V
ON/OFF
≤
0.1V.
Supply current measurements using driver disable are performed with
V
DRIVER DISABLE
≥
3V.
Note 5:
For driver delay measurements, R
L
= 3k and C
L
= 51pF. Trigger
points are set between the driver’s input logic threshold and the output
transition to the zero crossing (t
HL
= 1.4V to 0V and t
LH
= 1.4V to 0V).
Note 6:
For receiver delay measurements, C
L
= 51pF. Trigger points are
set between the receiver’s input logic threshold and the output transition
to standard TTL/CMOS logic threshold (t
HL
= 1.3V to 2.4V and t
LH
= 1.7V
to 0.8V).
Note 7:
Data rate operation guaranteed by slew rate, short-circuit current
and propagation delay tests.

:
5V Input Supply Pin. This pin should be decoupled
with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to the package pin.
Insufficient supply bypassing can result in low output
drive levels and erratic charge pump operation.
GND:
Ground Pin.
ON/OFF:
TTL/CMOS Compatible Operating Mode Control.
A logic low puts the device in the low power shutdown
mode. All three drivers and four receivers (RX1, RX2, RX3,
and RX4) assume a high impedance output state in shut-
down. Only receiver RX5 remains active while the trans-
ceiver is in shutdown. The transceiver consumes only
60µA of supply current while in shutdown. A logic high
fully enables the transceiver.
DRIVER DISABLE:
This pin provides an alternate control
for the charge pump and RS232 drivers. A logic high on
this pin shuts down the charge pump and places all driver
outputs in a high impedance state. All five receivers remain
active under these conditions. Floating the driver disable
pin or driving it to a logic low level fully enables the
transceiver. A logic low on the ON/OFF pin supersedes the
state of the DRIVER DISABLE pin. Supply current drops to
3mA when in driver disable mode.
