LT1280A/LT1281A
Low Power 5V RS232
Dual Driver/Receiver with
0.1µF Capacitors
DESCRIPTIO
The LT
®
1280A/LT1281A are dual RS232 driver/receiver
pairs with integral charge pump to generate RS232 volt-
age 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
120kbaud even while driving heavy capacitive loads. New
ESD structures on the chip allow the LT1280A/LT1281A to
survive multiple
±10kV
strikes, eliminating the need for
costly TransZorbs
®
on the RS232 line pins. The LT1280A/
LT1281A 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 LT1281A is available in 16-pin DIP and SO packages.
The LT1280A is supplied in 18-pin DIP and SO packages
for applications which require shutdown.

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 cycles. C
+
= C
–
= C1 = C2 = 0.1µF. All outputs are open, with all
driver inputs tied high.
Note 4:
Supply current measurements in shutdown are performed with
V
ON/OFF
≤
0.1V.
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.
