LTC1384CSW#TRPBF

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The LTC1384CSW#TRPBF is an ultra-low power RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., housed in an 18-lead plastic Small Outline (Wide) package. It operates from a single 5V supply with a quiescent current of 220µA and drops to 35µA in Shutdown mode while keeping receivers active. The device supports data rates up to 120kBaud, utilizes four 0.1µF capacitors for its charge pump, and features ESD protection exceeding ±10kV.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Ultra-low power operation with dedicated shutdown mode maintaining receiver activity
• Integrated charge pump requiring only four small 0.1µF capacitors
• Robust I/O lines protected against ±25V overvoltage and ±10kV ESD strikes

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Notebook computers
• Palmtop computers

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix #TRPBF indicates tape and reel packaging when sourcing this component. Confirm that the CSW designation corresponds to the commercial temperature range and wide SOIC package format required for your assembly process before finalizing procurement orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring low standby current without disabling serial reception. Ensure the design accommodates the 18-pin wide SOIC footprint. Verify that the 5V logic levels match the system interface requirements and that the 120kBaud speed meets the communication protocol needs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the LTC1384 family of 5V low-power RS-232 transceivers. It shares functional similarities with the LT1180A but offers enhanced power management features. The SW suffix denotes the specific 18-lead wide plastic small outline package variant within the broader product line.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The datasheet identifies the LT1180A as pin-compatible. Other family members like the LTC1382 or LTC1383 offer similar functionality but may differ in package size or specific electrical characteristics.
