The LT
®
1341 is an advanced low power three-driver, five-
receiver RS232 transceiver. Included on the chip is a
shutdown pin for reducing supply current to near zero.
During shutdown one receiver remains active to detect
incoming RS232 signals, for example, to wake up a
system. All other receivers and the 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 LT1341 to
survive multiple
±10kV
strikes, eliminating the need for
costly TransZorbs
®
on the RS232 line pins.
The LT1341 is fully compliant with all EIA RS232 specifi-
cations and operates in excess of 120kbaud even driving
heavy capacitive loads.

denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range (0°C

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 cycles. C
+
= C
–
= 0.1µF, C1 = C2 = 0.2µF. All outputs are open with
all driver inputs tied high.
Note 4:
Supply current and leakage 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 5:
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 6:
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 7:
Data rate operation guaranteed by slew rate, short-circuit current
and propagation delay tests.

:
5V Input Supply Pin. This pin should be decoupled
with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to the package pin.
Insufficient supply bypassing can lead to low output drive
levels and erratic charge pump operation.
GND:
Ground Pin.
ON/OFF:
A TTL/CMOS logic low puts the device in the low
power shutdown mode. All of the drivers and four receiv-
ers go to a high impedance state. Receiver RX5 remains
active while the transceiver is in shutdown. The trans-
ceiver 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 drivers
in a high impedance state. All receivers remain active
under these conditions. Floating the driver disable pin or
driving it to a logic low level fully enables the transceiver.
Supply current drops to 3mA when in driver disable mode.
A logic low on the ON/OFF pin supersedes the state of the
DRIVER DISABLE pin.

multiple transceivers, the V

leled into common capacitors. For large numbers of
transceivers, increasing the size of the storage capaci-
tors is recommended to reduce ripple.
