Power Saving Operational Modes

The LT1331 has both shutdown and driver disable oper-

ating modes. These operating modes can optimize power

consumption based upon applications needs.

The shutdown control turns off all circuitry except for

shutdwon, which may allow greater power savings in

some systems. When RX5 detects a signal, this informa-

tion can be used to wake up the system for full operation.

If more than one line must be monitored, the driver

disable mode provides a power efficient operating

option. The driver disable mode turns off the charge

pumps and RS232 drivers, but keeps all five receivers

active. Power consumption in driver disable mode is 3mA

Mixed 5V/3V Operation

RS232 drivers meet or exceed all RS232 or V.28 commu-

nication interface standards. Data rates up to 120kbaud

are supported, and all standard RS232 compatible mice

may be driven by the LT1331.

3V Operation

least –2.7V to 3.7V, with typical swing being –3.3V to 4V.

This insures compatibility with all commonly used RS232

and RS562 interface circuits. Table 1 summarizes the

receiver input threshold specifications for RS232 circuits

from many manufacturers.
