LTC2870IFE

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The LTC2870IFE is a robust, pin-configurable multiprotocol transceiver supporting RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422 standards. It operates on a single 3V to 5.5V supply voltage. The device integrates termination resistors for RS-485/RS-422 applications. It supports data rates up to 20Mbps. The package is a 10-lead TSSOP with an exposed pad.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Pin-configurable architecture allows selection between two RS-232 single-ended transceivers or one RS-485 differential transceiver on shared I/O lines.
• Integrated termination resistors simplify board layout and reduce component count for RS-485/RS-422 networks.
• Robust protection features ensure reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Building automation and security networks
• Data acquisition systems

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and temperature range. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required RoHS compliance status. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official documentation to validate active status and availability before procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single IC must support multiple serial communication protocols without external configuration switches. Verify that the system power supply falls within the 3V to 5.5V operating range. Confirm that the integrated termination values meet the specific bus impedance requirements of the target application.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the LTC2870/LTC2871 family of multiprotocol transceivers manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (formerly Linear Technology). The family is designed to replace discrete solution combinations, offering a compact alternative for mixed-protocol serial communication interfaces in space-constrained designs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

LTC2870CFE#PBF: Same function, different temperature grade. LTC2870CUFD#PBF: Different package type. Verify electrical specifications and pin compatibility before substitution.
