LTC1387ISW in Linear Tech / ADI LT Series Family
The LTC1387ISW family, manufactured by Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology), consists of single-chip, ultra-flexible multiprotocol transceivers designed for RS232 and RS485 communication. Operating from a single 5V supply, these ICs integrate driver and receiver circuitry that can be dynamically reconfigured via software. This versatility makes them essential for industrial systems requiring legacy support and modern balanced signaling without the board space overhead of multiple discrete transceiver chips.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the LTC1387 sub-family primarily differ based on operating temperature grades and package types. The ISW designation indicates an industrial temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius and a wide SOIC package. Other variants may offer commercial temperature ratings or shrink small outline packages (SSOP) to meet specific thermal and mechanical constraints in dense PCB layouts.
