The LT
®
1330 is a three driver, five receiver RS232 trans-
ceiver with low supply current. Designed to interface with
new 3V logic, the LT1330 operates with both a 5V power
supply and a 3V logic power supply. The chip may be shut
down to micropower operation with one receiver remain-
ing active to monitor RS232 inputs such as ring detect
from a modem.
The LT1330 is fully compliant with all EIA RS232 specifi-
cations. Additionally, the RS232 line input and output pins
are resilient to multiple
±10kV
ESD strikes. This eliminates
the need for costly TransZorbs
®
on line pins for the RS232
part.
The LT1330 operates to 120kbaud even driving high
capacitive loads. During shutdown, driver and receiver
outputs are at a high impedance state allowing devices to
be paralleled.

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.
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:
V
L
supply current is measured with all receiver outputs low.
Note 5:
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 6:
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 7:
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 8:
Data rate operation guaranteed by slew rate, short-circuit current
and propagation delay tests.

V
CC
:
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.
V
L
:
3V Logic Supply Pin for all RS232 Receivers. Like V
CC
,
the V
L
input should be decoupled with a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor. This pin may also be connected to 5V.
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.
