LTC1387CG in Linear Tech / ADI LT Series Family
The LTC1387CG series, manufactured by Analog Devices, is a versatile single-chip multiprotocol transceiver designed for high-performance serial communication. It allows for software-controlled selection between RS232 and RS485/RS422 interface standards using a single 5V supply. This component family is essential for systems requiring flexible serial ports that can adapt to different industrial communication environments without hardware modifications, providing robust ESD protection and reliable data transmission for mixed-protocol networking applications.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the LTC1387 sub-family primarily differ based on their thermal ratings and packaging options. While the CG designation indicates a 20-lead SSOP package suited for commercial temperature ranges (0C to 70C), industrial grade variants (IG) extend the operating range from -40C to 85C. Lead-free options are identified by the PBF suffix, ensuring compliance with RoHS standards for modern manufacturing processes.
