LTC1349CG – LINEAR TECH

The Linear Technology LTC1349CG is a robust, low power RS232 transceiver featuring ±10kV ESD protection on the transceiver I/O pins, making it highly suitable for harsh industrial environments. It integrates three drivers and five receivers, providing a flexible interface solution. The device operates from a single 3V to 5.5V supply, and its enhanced features include a shutdown mode that reduces supply current to 1μA. Its drivers deliver a guaranteed ±5V output swing while operating at 3V, ensuring compatibility with standard RS232 levels. The LTC1349CG is packaged in a 28-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package), allowing for high-density board mounting. Typical applications include portable computers, data acquisition systems, and industrial control equipment where reliable RS232 communication is essential. It offers superior noise immunity and data integrity over long cable lengths. Its wide operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C further enhances its applicability in diverse environments.
