Drivers and receivers for traditional serial port applications such as RS232, RS485, V.35 and multi-protocol combinations. Key features are ruggedness,
10-15kV ESD protection and availability in industry-standard footprints.
RS232/RS562 Transceivers
Industry standard single, dual and combination transceivers of up to five drivers and receivers for RS232 and RS562 are available for power supplies
from 1.8V to 5.5V. These devices feature high HBM ESD ruggedness and can support data rates up to 1Mbps. DTE or DCE configurations are also
available in 3.3V or 5V versions. Features include high ESD protection, low voltage operation and small package size.
RS485/422
Linear offers a broad selection of industry standard, low power CMOS RS485 and RS422 interface transceivers featuring high ESD protection, failsafe, high
speed and high voltage versions for rugged environments. Our latest family of RS485/RS422 transceivers feature an extended operating temperature of
-40°C to 125°C that helps ensure reliable data transmission in harsh environmental conditions commonly posed by automotive applications. Select models
feature slew rate limiting to lower EMI, while others include a receiving logic-selectable 120 ohm termination. All devices are designed to operate in
systems with 3.3V or 5V supplies, possess a maximum data rate of 20Mbps and maintain a high input impedance capable of supporting up to 256 nodes. In
addition, enhanced ESD protection guarantee that no damage or latchup can occur up to ±15kV HBM. These features, coupled with a wide operating
window, make these products suitable for an array of automotive applications including level translation, backplane transceiving and low power
RS422/RS485 transceiving.
Multiprotocol
Ideal for serial ports in networking and telecom applications, these multiprotocol transceivers support RS232, V.35, X.21 and a host of other legacy protocols.
I2C and SMBus Bus Buffers and Accelerators
I2C bus buffers and accelerators offer capacitive isolation and active pull-ups to eliminate common 2-wire bus problems that occur when many nodes are
added to a bus; a bus buffer is commonly used in a high availability (hot swap) environment or when address conflicts occur. These devices feature level
translation capabilities, stuck bus recovery, 6kV ESD protection and up to 400kHz operation.
SIM Interface
Linear Technology's line of SIM interface parts provide power conversion and level shifting for GSM SIM modules and Smart Cards
CAN Transceiver
Linear Technology's CAN Transceiver provides fault protected communications for industrial and automotive environments. Features include rugged ESD
protection and ISO11898 compatibility, the international standard which specifies the data link layer and physical signaling of the CAN.
