The LT1332 is a 3-driver/5-receiver RS232 transceiver,
designed to be used in conjunction with a switching
regulator. The LT1332 shares the regulator’s positive
output, while charge is capacitively pumped from the
regulator’s switch pin to the negative supply. Schottky
rectifiers built into the LT1332 simplify the charge
pump design.
The LT1332/LT1109A combination shown below gener-
ates fully compliant RS232 signal levels from as little as 2V
of input supply. The switcher can deliver greater than
100mA of output current, making the LT1332 an excellent
choice for mouse driver circuits.
Advanced driver output stages operate up to 120k baud
while driving heavy capacitive loads. New ESD structures
on chip make the LT1332 resilient to multiple
±10kV
strikes, eliminating costly transient suppressors.
A shutdown pin disables the transceiver except for one
receiver which remains active for detecting incoming
RS232 signals. When shut down, the disabled drivers and
receivers assume high impedance output states.

V
CC
:
Input Supply Pin. V
CC
can vary from 2V to 6V to
accommodate a wide range of logic levels, yet the system
still responds correctly to RS232 signals. Supply current
drops to 40µA in the SHUTDOWN mode. This pin should
be decoupled with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
GND:
Ground Pins. Pins 13 and 23 (S Package) must both
be grounded for proper operation.
ON/OFF:
Controls the operation mode of the device and
is CMOS compatible. A logic low puts the device in the
SHUTDOWN mode which reduces input supply current
to 40µA and places all of the drivers and four of the
receivers in a high impedance state. A logic high fully
enables the device.
V
+
:
Positive Supply Input (RS232 Drivers). V
+
should
be greater than 6.5V and less than 13.2V to assure valid
RS232 output signals. An additional decoupling ca-
pacitor may be required if the V
+
generator is located far
away from the LT1332.
V
–
:
Negative Supply Pin (RS232 Drivers). This pin re-
quires an external capacitor. When the device is powered
from a switching regulator, the filter capacitor should be
selected based on the maximum tolerable ripple for the
specified minimum regulator on time. For some low
frequency Burst Mode
TM
regulators, the filter capacitor
should be relatively large (C
≥
10µF). Low ESR tantalum
