LT1030CN 概要

The Texas Instruments LT1030CN is a quadruple low-power RS-232 line driver supplied in a 14-pin PDIP (N) package, operating from ±5V to ±15V supplies with a typical quiescent supply current of 500 µA and a zero-power shutdown mode. Each of the four drivers delivers a minimum 10 mA output current and is fully protected against externally applied voltages of ±30 V through on-chip current limiting, while presenting a high-impedance 3-state output when shut down. The output swing reaches within 200 mV of the positive supply rail and within 1 V of the negative supply rail, maximizing dynamic range on low-voltage supplies.

A line driver is a unidirectional buffer that translates low-voltage logic levels (such as 0/5 V CMOS or 0/3.3 V LVTTL) into the higher-voltage swings required by serial-interface standards. RS-232 is the most widely deployed single-ended asynchronous serial standard, historically using ±12 V signaling to provide noise immunity over cables up to ~15 m. The LT1030CN belongs to the EIA/TIA-232-F line-driver category within the broader interface-IC family, which sits above simple transceivers in the protocol-IC hierarchy because it provides drivers only (no receivers) and is intended to be paired with a separate receiver IC such as the LT1031C.

Key features of the LT1030CN include: ±5 V to ±15 V supply range, 500 µA typical supply current, zero supply current in shutdown, ±30 V output overvoltage protection, 10 mA minimum output drive, parallelable outputs for higher drive, and compliance with ANSI EIA/TIA-232-F. The shutdown (SHDN) pin enables power-saving modes in battery-powered terminals, and the 3-state output behavior prevents back-driving when the device is off.

The LT1030 architecture uses a charge-pump-free, low-power bipolar driver design that does not require external capacitors; the output stage is built with Darlington-style pull-down and active pull-up devices to achieve the wide ±15 V compliance. Designers should note that the bipolar front-end consumes more quiescent current than CMOS-only alternatives but provides robust ±30 V fault tolerance that is difficult to match with purely CMOS parts.

Typical applications for the LT1030CN include: RS-232 driver-only channels where a separate receiver IC is already present, point-of-sale terminals, industrial serial-port modules, battery-powered portable instruments, and legacy peripheral interfaces requiring ±12 V signaling. The 14-PDIP through-hole package simplifies prototyping, rework, and breadboarding versus surface-mount alternatives.

When designing with the LT1030CN, place a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor close to each supply pin (V+ and V-) and observe the 10 mA minimum-load requirement on the EIA/TIA-232-F receivers it drives. To shut down the device, pull the SHDN pin high; leaving it floating or grounded keeps the outputs active. Do not exceed ±30 V on any driver output, even though internal current limiting will protect the device.

🏭

RS-232 Communication Ports in Industrial Equipment

The LT1030CN is widely used in industrial serial-port modules that require robust ±12 V RS-232 signaling over cables up to 15 m. Its 4-driver output stage and ±30 V overvoltage protection make it tolerant of mis-wiring and ESD transients common in factory-floor installations. The 14-PDIP package simplifies through-hole assembly for control panels, PLCs, and motor-drive serial debug ports. The 500 µA quiescent current is acceptable for line-powered equipment, and the 120 kbps data rate easily supports legacy industrial protocols such as Modbus RTU. Designers can pair the LT1030CN with the LT1031C receiver to form a complete 4-channel RS-232 channel.

🖥️

Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminals

POS terminals and electronic cash registers often use the LT1030CN to provide EIA/TIA-232-F drive on serial ports connected to receipt printers, barcode scanners, and PIN pads. The driver's ability to source 10 mA per channel ensures reliable signaling even with the 3 kΩ to 7 kΩ input impedance of legacy serial peripherals. The wide ±15 V supply range accepts the ±12 V rails typically already present in POS mainboards that also power other interface circuitry. Combined with its 0/70 °C commercial temperature range and 14-PDIP package, the LT1030CN remains a cost-effective choice for high-volume POS hardware that is field-serviceable through-hole design.

📱

Battery-Powered Portable Serial Instruments

The LT1030CN suits battery-powered handheld instruments (data loggers, diagnostic tools, field-service terminals) because of its 500 µA typical quiescent current and zero supply current in shutdown. Asserting the SHDN pin drops the supply current to zero between transmissions, extending battery life. The 14-PDIP package works well for prototype and low-volume hand-held enclosures. The ±30 V fault tolerance protects the driver from cable mis-wiring in the field, and the 120 kbps data rate supports all standard Modbus, NMEA, and proprietary serial protocols used in field instrumentation.

🌐

Legacy Peripheral and Modem Interfaces

The LT1030CN provides the 4 driver channels needed to interface to legacy DB-9 RS-232 modems, terminal servers, and industrial peripherals that require the original ±12 V signaling levels. With output swings within 200 mV of V+ and 1 V of V-, the driver delivers the full EIA/TIA-232-F voltage range needed for proper noise immunity over 15-meter cables. Multiple LT1030CN outputs can be paralleled for higher drive if the load is heavier than 3 kΩ. The 14-PDIP package is the most field-replaceable option for legacy equipment that is still in service decades after deployment.

🔬

Test and Measurement Equipment Front Panels

Bench-top test instruments (oscilloscope service ports, spectrum-analyzer remote interfaces, lab data-acquisition front-ends) often use the LT1030CN to drive RS-232 service or SCPI command ports. The bipolar driver's ±30 V fault tolerance is valuable in lab environments where cables are frequently swapped and ground loops can apply large transients. The 500 µA quiescent current is negligible compared to the rest of the instrument, and the 14-PDIP package allows easy rework on long-life test equipment that may be serviced for 20+ years.

✈️

Aerospace Avionics Serial Buses

The hermetic-ceramic LT1030MJ variant (also derived from the same die) is used in avionics and military serial interfaces where -55 °C to +125 °C operation is required. Although the standard LT1030CN is 0/70 °C, the family is MIL-STD-883 screened in some procurement flows. The driver's high immunity to externally applied ±30 V and the EIA/TIA-232-F compliance suit the long cable runs and noisy electrical environments of aircraft and ground-vehicle platforms. Designers should consult the TI military product drawing for the exact screening flow and pinout tolerances.

What is the LT1030CN?
The LT1030CN is a Texas Instruments (originally Linear Technology) quadruple low-power RS-232 line driver in a 14-pin PDIP package. According to the manufacturer datasheet, it provides 4 drivers / 0 receivers and operates from ±5 V to ±15 V supplies with 500 µA typical quiescent current. The device meets ANSI EIA/TIA-232-F specifications and is pin-compatible with the legacy Linear Technology LT1030.
What is the supply voltage range of the LT1030CN?
The LT1030CN operates from ±5 V to ±15 V dual supplies, which is the standard range for EIA/TIA-232-F line drivers. According to TI datasheet SLLS103E, typical applications use ±12 V to provide the ±12 V RS-232 signaling levels. The supply pins are V+ and V-; both must be present for proper operation even if the device is in shutdown.
Does the LT1030CN need external charge-pump capacitors?
No. The LT1030CN does not require external charge-pump capacitors because the output stage is powered directly from the ±V supplies. This is a key difference from modern integrated transceivers such as the MAX232 or MAX202, which generate ±10 V rails internally with charge pumps and four external capacitors. The LT1030CN is intended for designs that already have a ±12 V supply available.
What is the difference between the LT1030CN and the LT1031C?
The LT1030CN is a driver-only IC with 4 drivers and 0 receivers, while the LT1031C is a companion receiver IC with 4 receivers and 0 drivers, both from the same TI/Linear Technology RS-232 chipset. The two are typically used together on the same PCB; the LT1030CN drives the EIA/TIA-232-F line and the LT1031C receives the EIA/TIA-232-F line. This split architecture gives designers flexibility to place drivers and receivers on different rails or in different physical locations.
What is the output drive current of the LT1030CN?
The LT1030CN delivers a minimum 10 mA output drive current per driver, sufficient to meet the EIA/TIA-232-F load requirement. According to the manufacturer datasheet, multiple LT1030CN outputs may be connected in parallel to provide higher drive for heavily loaded lines. Output voltage swings reach within 200 mV of V+ and within 1 V of V- at rated load.
What is the maximum voltage that can be applied to the LT1030CN outputs?
The LT1030CN outputs can tolerate externally applied voltages of ±30 V without damage, because each output is protected by on-chip current limiting. According to TI datasheet SLLS103E, this protection makes the device robust against mis-wiring, ESD events, and hot-plug transients common in industrial RS-232 installations. The output presents high impedance (3-state) when the SHDN pin is asserted.
Where can I download the LT1030CN datasheet PDF?
The official LT1030CN datasheet PDF is hosted on TI.com at https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lt1030.pdf. The document is currently revision F and contains the full electrical characteristics, typical characteristics curves, application information, and mechanical drawing for the 14-pin PDIP (N) package. The TI product page at https://www.ti.com/product/LT1030 also provides a link to download the datasheet and the most recent revision.
Where can I buy the LT1030CN online and what is the price?
As of 2026-10-22, the LT1030CN is in stock at major distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and LCSC. LCSC lists the part from $1.1796 in single-piece quantities, while DigiKey stocks the Analog Devices Inc. branded version (LT1030CN#PBF) as well as the TI branded version (LT1030CN). Both part numbers are functionally identical, as TI acquired Linear Technology. Lead time is generally same-day for small quantities.
What is the lead time for the LT1030CN?
As of 2026-10-22, the LT1030CN ships same-day from DigiKey in 14-PDIP when ordered before the daily cutoff, with typical factory lead time of 8-12 weeks for production volumes. The TI/Linear Technology product family has been in production since the late 1980s and remains active, but the through-hole 14-PDIP variant is occasionally backordered; the SOIC-14 (LT1030CDW) variant is recommended as a substitute for new designs where surface-mount is acceptable.
What is the pinout of the LT1030CN 14-PDIP?
The 14-pin PDIP pinout is: Pin 1 = 1OUT (driver 1 output), Pin 2 = 1IN (driver 1 input), Pin 3 = 2OUT, Pin 4 = 2IN, Pin 5 = 3OUT, Pin 6 = 3IN, Pin 7 = 4OUT, Pin 8 = 4IN, Pin 9 = GND, Pin 10 = V-, Pin 11 = SHDN (active-high shutdown), Pin 12 = NC, Pin 13 = V+, Pin 14 = NC. Always cross-check against the manufacturer pinout diagram before routing your PCB, as the SHDN pin position differs from older DS14C239-type drivers.
What is a drop-in replacement for the LT1030CN?
Direct drop-in replacements for the LT1030CN in the 14-PDIP package include the LT1030CN#PBF (lead-free, identical die, same manufacturer Analog Devices Inc. brand), LT1030CNE4 (TI-branded, lead-free finish), LT1030IN (industrial temperature -40 °C to +85 °C, same pinout), and LT1030CS (SOIC-16 wide package, NOT pin-compatible with the 14-PDIP - requires PCB rework). The MAX222 and LT1080 are functionally similar but use different pinouts, so they are not true drop-in alternatives.
What is the difference between LT1030CN and LT1030CS?
The LT1030CN comes in a 14-pin PDIP through-hole package, while the LT1030CS comes in a 16-pin SOIC wide-body surface-mount package. Both parts contain the same die and identical electrical specifications. According to the TI product page, the LT1030CS is the surface-mount equivalent for automated assembly, but it is NOT pin-compatible with the 14-PDIP and requires a different PCB footprint. Choose CN for prototypes, hand-soldered boards, or through-hole designs; choose CS for SMT production.
Can the LT1030CN be used in battery-powered equipment?
Yes, the LT1030CN is well suited to battery-powered RS-232 equipment because of its 500 µA typical quiescent current and zero supply current in shutdown mode. According to the datasheet, asserting the SHDN pin (active high) places the outputs in 3-state and drops the supply current to zero, making it ideal for handheld terminals, data loggers, and portable diagnostic instruments that need to conserve battery between transmissions. The bipolar design trades a small quiescent current for ±30 V output fault tolerance that is difficult to match with purely CMOS drivers.
Is the LT1030CN RoHS compliant?
The LT1030CN is RoHS compliant when ordered as the LT1030CN#PBF or LT1030CNE4 suffix variant. The original non-suffix LT1030CN (Tin-Lead finish) is not RoHS compliant and is being phased out in favor of lead-free finishes. According to the TI product page, both Analog Devices Inc. and TI offer the lead-free RoHS-compliant version with the #PBF or E4 suffix; functionally and electrically the parts are identical to the original leaded LT1030CN.
What is the maximum data rate of the LT1030CN?
The LT1030CN supports a maximum data rate of 120 kb/s, which is the maximum specified by the EIA/TIA-232-F standard. According to TI datasheet SLLS103E, this data rate is achieved with a 2500 pF load and 3 kΩ receiver load as defined in the standard. The part is therefore fully RS-232-F compliant and will interoperate with any standard RS-232 receiver at speeds up to 120 kbps. For higher data rates (such as 460 kbps) the LT1032 or similar drivers are required.

選定ガイド

Choose the LT1030CN when you need a 4-channel RS-232 driver in a through-hole 14-PDIP package, when the system already has a ±5 V to ±15 V dual supply available, and when ±30 V output fault tolerance matters. The 14-PDIP package makes it ideal for prototypes, hand-soldered designs, legacy equipment service, and through-hole industrial control panels. For new surface-mount designs, consider the LT1030CDW (SOIC-16 wide). For +5 V-only single-supply designs without an existing negative rail, choose the MAX202IN or MAX232D instead. For industrial or military temperature ranges, choose the LT1030IN (-40 °C to +85 °C) or LT1030MJ (-55 °C to +125 °C) - all share the same die and pinout, differing only in temperature grade and package finish. The LT1030CN is not a full transceiver, so you must also include an LT1031CN receiver (or equivalent) to receive RS-232 data.

主な差別化要因

  • Driver-only (4/0) architecture enables flexible receive-side placement (vs MAX202 / MAX232 (integrated 2-driver + 2-receiver transceivers))
  • Wide ±30 V output fault tolerance without external protection (vs MAX222 / MAX232 (±15 V typical external tolerance))
  • Zero-power shutdown mode for battery designs (vs MAX202 (no dedicated shutdown pin in older revisions))

設計ノート

The LT1030CN requires both a positive supply (V+, pins 13) and a negative supply (V-, pin 10) in the ±5 V to ±15 V range. Unlike modern charge-pump transceivers such as the MAX232, it does not generate its own negative rail, so the system must already have a negative supply available (typically a small isolated DC-DC converter or a transformer-derived ±12 V). Place a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor close to each of the V+ and V- pins, and a 1 µF to 10 µF bulk tantalum/ceramic across the supplies to handle the 10 mA output current transients. The shutdown pin (SHDN, pin 11) is active-high; tie it to GND through a 100 kΩ pull-down if shutdown is not used to keep the part enabled by default.

Do not confuse the LT1030CN (driver only, 4/0) with the LT1031CN (receiver only, 0/4) or with a full RS-232 transceiver such as the MAX232. The LT1030CN provides 4 drivers but no receivers, so it cannot receive RS-232 data on its own - a separate receiver IC must be used in conjunction with it. A common mistake is to assume the SHDN pin behaves as a logic-low enable; the datasheet specifies that SHDN is active-high (logic high = outputs in 3-state, supply current = 0). Leave SHDN floating or tied to GND for normal operation. Also note that the EIA/TIA-232-F standard requires the driver to sink/source at least 3 kΩ; the LT1030CN delivers 10 mA minimum, which exceeds this requirement with comfortable margin.

The 14-PDIP (N) package is through-hole with standard 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pin pitch and 7.62 mm (0.3 inch) row spacing. Keep the V+ and V- traces wide (at least 0.5 mm or 20 mil) to handle the 10 mA peak output current without significant voltage drop. Place a 0.1 µF bypass cap within 5 mm of each supply pin to suppress switching transients when multiple drivers toggle simultaneously. If the design is in a noisy industrial environment, add a ferrite bead in series with each V+ and V- pin between the bypass cap and the IC to suppress high-frequency noise. Inputs (1IN-4IN) are high-impedance TTL/CMOS-compatible and may be driven directly from a 3.3 V MCU without level shifting.
