LT1137A General Description
The LT1137A is a three-driver, five-receiver RS232 transceiver, pin compatible with the LT1137, offering performance improvements and two SHUTDOWN modes. The LT1137A's charge pump is designed for extended compliance, and can deliver over 40mA of load current. Supply current is typically 12mA, competitive with similar CMOS devices. An advanced driver output stage operates up to 120k baud while driving heavy capacitive loads.
The LT1137A is fully compliant with all EIA-RS232 specifications. Special bipolar construction techniques protect the drivers and receivers beyond the fault conditions stipulated for RS232. Driver outputs and receiver inputs can be shorted to ±30V without damaging the device or the power supply generator. In addition, the RS232 I/O pins are resilient to multiple ±10kV ESD strikes.
The transceiver has two SHUTDOWN modes. One mode disables the drivers and the charge pump, the other shuts down all circuitry. While shut down, the drivers and receivers assume high impedance output states.
