The LT
®
1342 is an advanced low power three-driver, five-
receiver RS232 transceiver. The LT1342 operates from a
5V supply and a 3V logic supply. Receiver outputs can
interface directly to 3V logic circuits. Included on the chip
is a shutdown pin for reducing supply current to near zero.
All receivers and drivers assume high impedance states
during shutdown.
The driver disable function provides additional control of
operating mode. When driver disable is high the charge
pump and drivers turn off. Receivers continue to operate
during driver disable.
New ESD structures on the chip allow the LT1342 to
survive multiple
±10kV
strikes, eliminating the need for
costly TransZorbs
®
on the RS232 line pins.
The LT1342 is fully compliant with all EIA RS232 specifi-
cations and operates in excess of 120kbaud even driving
heavy capacitive loads.

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. Provides power to the receiver
outputs. Decouple with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
GND:
Ground Pin.
ON/OFF:
A TTL/CMOS Compatible Operating Mode Con-
trol. A logic low puts the device in the low power shutdown
mode. Drivers and receivers assume a high impedance
state in shutdown. The transceiver consumes almost no
supply current while in shutdown. A logic high fully
enables the transceiver. An ON/OFF logic low signal super-
sedes the state of the DRIVER DISABLE pin.
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 drivers
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 trans-
ceiver. 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.

common charge storage capacitors. Larger value capaci-
tors may be used to reduce supply ripple.
