LTC2801/LTC2802 4mm × 3mm DFN Package
LTC2803/LTC2804 Narrow SSOP-16 and
5mm × 3mm DFN Packages
The LTC®2801/LTC2802/LTC2803/LTC2804 are single and
dual RS-232 transceivers in narrow SSOP and chip-scale
DFN packages. All operate over a supply range of 1.8V to
5.5V, which permits operation directly from two alkaline,
NiCd or NiMH cells. An integrated DC-to-DC converter
generates power supplies for driving RS-232 levels. A
logic supply pin allows easy interfacing with different logic
levels independent of the DC-DC supply.

These parts are compatible with the TIA/EIA-232-F standard. Driver outputs are protected from overload and can
be shorted to ground or up to ±15V without damage. To
extend battery life, receivers can be kept active, operating
at reduced speed, with only 15µA current. In shutdown
mode, current is further reduced to 1µA.

may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: All currents into pins are positive; all voltages are referenced to
GND unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: Guaranteed by other measured parameters and not tested directly.
Note 4: Time from PS ↑ or ON/OFF ↑ until VDD ≥ 5V and VEE ≤ –5V.

Applications Information
Overview
The LTC2801 family of RS-232 transceivers operates on
a VCC supply of 1.8V to 5.5V, utilizing a switching regulator to generate the necessary higher voltage rails for the
drivers. The transceivers interface with logic operating
on any supply from 1.8V to 5.5V, independent of the VCC
voltage. Depending on the device, one or two control pins
are available to invoke Shutdown, Receiver Active and
Driver Disable features.
The on-chip DC-DC converter operates from the VCC
input, generating a 7V VDD supply and a charge pumped
– 6.3V VEE supply, as shown in Figure 6. VDD and VEE
power the output stage of the drivers and are regulated
to levels that guarantee greater than ±5V output swing.
The DC-DC converter requires a 10µH inductor (L1) and
a bypass capacitor (C4) of at least 1µF. The recommended
size for the charge pump capacitor (C1) is 220nF and for
the storage capacitors (C2 and C3) is 1µF. Larger storage
capacitors up to 4.7µF may be used if C1 is kept at 20% to
50% their size and C4 is also scaled. Locate C1-C4 close
to their associated pins.

Power-Saving Modes
When the DC-DC converter and drivers are turned off (PS
and MODE or ON/OFF = logic low), VCC supply current is
reduced to 1µA. Tables 1 and 2 summarize the modes for
each device.
In Shutdown mode, VL supply current is reduced to 1µA,
and both receiver and driver outputs assume a high impedance state.
In Receivers Active mode, the quiescent VL supply current
is reduced to 15µA and the driver outputs assume a high
impedance state. The receivers operate at a reduced rate
(typically 100 kbps) with hysteresis turned off.

Figure 6. DC/DC Converter and Recommended Bypassing
VL Logic Supply
A separate logic supply pin VL allows the LTC2801 family to
interface with any logic signal from 1.8V to 5.5V, as shown
in Figure 7. Simply connect the desired logic supply to
VL. There is no interdependency between VCC and VL; they
may simultaneously operate at any voltage from 1.8V to
5.5V and sequence in any order. If VL is powered separately
from VCC , bypass VL with a 220nF capacitor (C5).
When the DC-DC converter is kept on (PS = logic high),
MODE serves as a low-latency driver enable for half-duplex
operation. Each driver is enabled and disabled in less than
2µs, while each receiver remains continuously active. This
mode of operation is illustrated in Figures 15-17.
Battery Operation
To maximize battery life, connect VCC (and L1) directly to
the unregulated battery voltage and VL to the regulated
supply, as shown in Figure 22. This configuration typically
minimizes conversion loss while providing compatibility
with system logic levels.
Inductor Selection
A 10µH inductor with a saturation current (ISAT) rating
of at least 200mA and low DCR (copper wire resistance)
is recommended. Some small inductors meeting these
requirements are listed in Table 3.

Capacitor Selection
flowing through inductor L1 and capacitors C1, C2. The
peak inrush current must not exceed 2A. To avoid this
condition, add a 1Ω resistor as shown in Figure 8. This
precaution is not relevant for supply voltages below 4.5V
or rise times longer than 10µs.
Board Layout
The board layout should minimize the length and area of
the SW and CAP traces. Suggested compact layouts for
the LTC2801 family are shown in Figure 9 (a) and (b).
The small size of ceramic capacitors makes them ideal for
the LTC2801 family. X5R and X7R (preferred) types are
recommended because their ESR is low and they retain their
capacitance over relatively wide voltage and temperature
ranges. Use a voltage rating of at least 10V.

Inrush Current and Supply Overshoot Precaution
In certain applications, such as battery-operated and
wall-adapter devices, fast supply slew rates are generated
when power is connected. If VCC’s voltage is greater than
4.5V and its rise time is faster than 10µs, the pins VDD
and SW can exceed their ABS MAX values during startup. When supply voltage is applied to VCC , the voltage
difference between VCC and VDD generates inrush current
