DESCRIPTION
The LTC®1318 is a single 5V, RS232/RS422 transceiver for connection to the DCE, or peripheral side of an interface link. It includes an on-board charge pump to generate a ±8V supply which allows true RS232 output swings. The charge pump requires only four external 0.1µF capacitors. The LTC1318 includes two RS232 drivers, a differential RS422 driver, a dedicated RS232 receiver, and a pin selectable RS232/RS422 receiver which can receive either single-ended or differential signals.
