Low Supply Current: 300µA
1µA Supply Current in SHUTDOWN
ESD Protection: Over
±10kV
Operates from a Single 5V Supply
Uses Small Capacitors: 0.1µF
Operates to 120k Baud
Three-State Outputs Are High Impedance When Off
Output Overvoltage Does Not Force Current Back into
Supplies
RS232 I/O Lines Can Be Forced to
±25V
without
Damage
Pin Compatible with LT1137A and LT1237
Flowthrough Architecture
The LTC1337 is a 3-driver/5-receiver RS232 transceiver
with very low supply current. In the no load condition, the
supply current is only 300µA. The charge pump only
requires four 0.1µF capacitors and can supply up to 12mA
of extra current to power external circuitry.
In SHUTDOWN mode, the supply current is further re-
duced to 1µA. All RS232 outputs assume a high imped-
ance state in SHUTDOWN and with the power off.
The LTC1337 is fully compliant with all data rate and
overvoltage RS232 specifications. The transceiver can
operate up to 120k baud with a 1000pF// 3kΩ load. Both
driver outputs and receiver inputs can be forced to
±25V
without damage, and can survive multiple
±10kV
ESD
strikes.

:
5V Input Supply Pin. Supply current less than 1µA in
the SHUTDOWN mode. This pin should be decoupled with
a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
GND:
Ground Pin.
ON/OFF:
TTL/CMOS Compatible Shutdown Pin. A logic
low puts the device in the SHUTDOWN mode which
reduces input supply current to less than 1µA and places
all drivers and receivers in high impedance state.

1V. This pin requires an external capacitor C = 0.1µF for
charge storage. The capacitor may be tied to ground or 5V.
With multiple devices, the V
+
and V

pins may be paral-
leled into common capacitors. For large numbers of
devices, increasing the size of the shared common storage
capacitors is recommended to reduce ripple.

. To maintain
charge pump efficiency, the capacitor’s effective series
resistance should be less than 50Ω.

DRIVER OUT:
Driver Outputs at RS232 Voltage Levels.
Outputs are in a high impedance state when in SHUT-
DOWN mode or V
CC
= 0V. The driver outputs are protected
against ESD to
±10kV
for human body model discharges.
RX IN:
Receiver Inputs. These pins can be forced to
±25V
without damage. The receiver inputs are protected against
ESD to
±10kV
for human body model discharges. Each
receiver provides 0.4V of hysteresis for noise immunity.
RX OUT:
Receiver Outputs with TTL/CMOS Voltage Lev-
els. Outputs are in a high impedance state when in SHUT-
DOWN mode to allow data line sharing.
