The LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the LTC1196 family of high-performance low-power RS232 transceivers. It is designed to provide robust signal transmission for bidirectional serial communication over long distances. With a wide operating voltage range and various protection features, the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF is suitable for applications in industrial, automotive, and other demanding environments.
One of the key features of the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF is its low power consumption, drawing only 1.5μA (typical) of supply current during shutdown mode. This makes it suitable for battery-powered devices, as it helps extend the battery life significantly. The IC also operates across a wide voltage range, spanning from 3V to 5.5V, which provides flexibility in different system configurations.
The LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF is equipped with a ±15kV ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection on the RS232 I/O pins, ensuring reliability and immunity to electrostatic discharge. It also features a high level of ruggedness against noise and voltage fluctuations, making it suitable for deployment in harsh industrial environments.
To aid in board space savings, the LTC1196-1ACS8#PBF comes in a compact 8-pin SOIC (small-outline integrated circuit) package
