LT1181ACSW#TRPBF - Dual RS232 Transceiver with Integrated Charge Pump

The LT1181ACSW#TRPBF is a high-quality dual RS232 transceiver component from Linear Technology designed to interface data communication systems with the RS232 serial port standard. This integrated circuit features two drivers and two receivers, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring full-duplex communication.

One of the standout features of this product is its integrated charge pump circuitry, which allows the transceiver to deliver RS232 voltage levels (+/-10V) from a single 5V supply. This eliminates the need for multiple power supplies and simplifies the design of serial communication systems.

The LT1181ACSW#TRPBF operates at a data rate of up to 120kbps, providing a balance between speed and power consumption. It is designed with low power shutdown mode, which reduces the power consumption to a mere 10μA, making it an excellent choice for power-sensitive applications.

Additionally, this transceiver is equipped with a proprietary low dropout transmitter output stage, delivering a better performance in terms of data transmission over long cables or in electrically noisy environments. The receivers can handle up to ±30V input levels, ensuring robust data reception even under harsh conditions.

This product comes in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, which is suitable for space-constrained applications. The LT1181ACSW#TRPBF is also characterized by its industrial temperature range, making it reliable for use in a variety of environments.

Linear Technology ensures that this transceiver meets the EIA/TIA-232E and V.28 specifications, guaranteeing compatibility with a wide range of RS232 systems. With its combination of features, the LT1181ACSW#TRPBF is an excellent choice for designers looking for a reliable and efficient solution for serial communication interfaces.

Whether you are working on telecommunications equipment, portable or battery-powered electronics, or any other system requiring RS232 communication, the LT1181ACSW#TRPBF by Linear Technology offers a robust and dependable solution.
