Product Summary

The LT1181 is a dual RS232 driver/receiver with integral charge pump to generate RS232 voltage levels from a single 5V supply. The circuits feature rugged bipolar design to provide operating fault tolerance and ESD protection unmatched by competing CMOS designs. Using only 0.1mF external capacitors, the circuits consume only 40mW of power, and can operate to 120k baud even while driving heavy capacitive loads. The LT1181 is fully compliant with EIA RS232 standards. It is available in 16-pin DIP and SO packages. The applications of LT1181 include portable computers, battery-powered systems, power supply generator, terminals and modems.
