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.
