Product details

RS-232 link for 5 V-only designs

The LT1781IS#PBF is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver with two drivers and two receivers. It operates on a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and supports a 250 kBd data rate with 400 mV receiver hysteresis.

250 kBd and 400 mV hysteresis — what they mean on the wire

At 250 kBd the part handles the full RS-232 data rate. The 400 mV hysteresis prevents chatter on long cables without external buffers.

Active lifecycle — no LTB clock ticking

The LT1781IS#PBF carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. There is no last-time-buy window to track, no NRND flag, and no forced redesign horizon. For a BOM freeze or a long-production run, this part can be specified without scheduling an obsolescence review for the foreseeable future.

Frequently asked questions

What is an equivalent part to LT1781IS#PBF?

The ADM1181AARWZ is a close functional second-source: full-duplex RS-232 transceiver, 2/2 drivers/receivers, 230 kbps data rate, 650 mV hysteresis, same 4.5 V supply and temperature range. The LT1781IS#PBF offers a slightly higher data rate (250 kBd) while the ADM1181AARWZ provides more receiver hysteresis for noisy environments.

Can LT1781IS#PBF replace MAX232?

Yes, the LT1781IS#PBF is a functional replacement for a MAX232 in 5 V-only designs. Both are full-duplex RS-232 transceivers with 2/2 drivers/receivers in similar SOIC packages. The LT1781IS#PBF has 400 mV hysteresis versus the MAX232's typical 300 mV, giving better noise immunity on longer cable runs.

What is the data rate of LT1781IS#PBF?

The data rate is 250 kBd.
