RS232 transceiver with 5/3 channel count — what it means on the board
The Analog Devices LT1138ACG#PBF is an RS232 full-duplex transceiver with five drivers and three receivers in a 28-SSOP package.
250 KBd data rate — margin for legacy and mid-speed links
Rated at 250 KBd, the LT1138ACG#PBF covers the standard RS232 range with headroom for 250 kbps links. The 400 mV receiver hysteresis helps reject noise on longer runs.
Active lifecycle — no LTB pressure for production runs
That means no last-time-buy scramble and no forced requalification for existing designs. For new builds, it qualifies as a standard-shelf part through independent distribution, quoted to order against an RFQ.
Commercial temperature grade — indoor and office equipment only
Rated 0°C to 70°C, this transceiver is specified for commercial environments: desktop peripherals, point-of-sale terminals, telecom rack equipment in climate-controlled rooms, and test equipment.
