FEATURES

The LT

includes shutdown. Each receiver will accept up to

±30V

input and can drive either TTL or CMOS logic. The RS232

drivers accept TTL logic inputs and output RS232 voltage

levels. The outputs are fully protected against overload

and can be shorted to ground or up to

±30V without

damage to the drivers. Additionally, when the system is

shut down or power is off, the outputs are in a high

impedance state allowing data line sharing. On-chip ESD

protection eliminates the need for external protection

devices.

A bias pin allows one receiver to be kept on while the rest

of the part is shut down.

The LT1039A is also available in the 16-pin version,

without shutdown or bias pin functions.

For applications requiring operation from a single 5V

supply, see the LT1180A/LT1181A and LT1130A data

sheets.
