LTC1386CS#TRPBF

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The LTC1386CS#TRPBF is a 2-driver/2-receiver EIA/TIA562 transceiver operating from a single 3.3V supply with a typical quiescent current of 200µA. It utilizes four 0.1µF capacitors for its charge pump and supports data rates up to 120kBaud. The device features ±10kV ESD protection on I/O lines and withstands ±25V overvoltage without damage. Packaged in a 16-lead narrow SOIC, it operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
