Low Supply Current: 300µA
ESD Protection: Over
±10kV
1µA Supply Current in Shutdown
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 LT
®
1137A and LT1237
Flowthrough Architecture
The LTC
®
1337 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 reduced
to 1µA. All RS232 outputs assume a high impedance 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. This pin cannot
float.

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.

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

RX IN:
Receiver Inputs. These pins can be forced to

ESD to
±10kV

receiver provides 0.4V of hysteresis for noise immunity.
RX OUT:
Receiver Outputs with TTL/CMOS Voltage Levels.
Outputs are in a high impedance state when in Shutdown
