LTC1383CN#PBF

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The LTC1383CN#PBF is a low power RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates from a single 5V supply with a quiescent current of 220µA and supports data rates up to 120kbaud. The device features two drivers and two receivers in full duplex mode, housed in a 16-pin PDIP package. It provides ESD protection exceeding ±10kV and allows I/O lines to be forced to ±25V without damage.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Ultra-low power operation enabled by a charge pump requiring only four 0.1µF capacitors
• Robust input and output protection against overvoltage and electrostatic discharge events
• TTL/CMOS compatible logic inputs and outputs for direct microcontroller interfacing

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Notebook computers
• Palmtop computers

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the component marking and date code against official manufacturer documentation to confirm authenticity. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability records. Confirm that the physical package matches the specified 16-pin PDIP form factor before integration into the design.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring minimal power consumption from a single 5V source. It serves as a pin-compatible replacement for LT1181A and MAX232A devices. Verify that the required operating temperature range aligns with the commercial specifications provided for this specific suffix.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the LTC1383 series of ultra-low power RS-232 transceivers. It shares functional similarities with the LTC1382 but lacks shutdown control features found in other family members. The CN suffix indicates a commercial temperature rating and a plastic dual in-line package configuration.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The datasheet explicitly states pin compatibility with the LT1181A and MAX232A. These parts can be considered for direct substitution if electrical parameters meet the system requirements.
