LTC2870IFE#PBF Visão geral

Analog Devices LTC2870IFE#PBF is a robust pin-configurable multiprotocol transceiver supporting RS232, RS485, and RS422 protocols from a single 3V to 5.5V supply, housed in a 28-pin TSSOP-EP (FE) package. The LTC2870 integrates one RS485 differential transceiver and two RS232 single-ended transceivers on shared I/O lines, with automatic integrated termination resistor selection. According to the Analog Devices LTC2870/LTC2871 datasheet, the device supports data rates up to 20 Mbps for RS485 and 500 kbps for RS232, with ±25 kV ESD (HBM) protection on the bus pins.

An RS232/RS485 multiprotocol transceiver is an interface IC that bridges a UART, microcontroller, or processor to a physical serial bus. The RS232 standard uses single-ended signaling (logic-high and logic-low on separate lines with ±5V to ±15V swings) and is common in point-to-point links to legacy PCs and industrial controllers. The RS485 standard uses differential signaling (A-B differential voltage) and enables multipoint half-duplex or full-duplex networks up to 1200 m with up to 32 unit loads. Multiprotocol transceivers combine both physical layers on shared pins so a single PCB footprint can serve multiple end-equipment variants, reducing BOM and qualification cost.

Key features of the LTC2870 include shared I/O lines between RS232 and RS485 modes, automatic or logic-controlled 120 ohm RS485 termination, ±25 kV ESD HBM on the bus I/O pins, hot-swap glitch protection, and a low-current shutdown mode. The integrated loopback mode allows self-test of the RS232 path without external cabling. The single 3V to 5.5V supply eliminates the negative charge pump traditionally required for RS232, simplifying power tree design.

Typical applications include industrial multipoint fieldbus nodes, point-of-sale terminals, RS232-to-RS485 protocol converters, and any system that must communicate to both legacy RS232 equipment and modern RS485 networks. The TSSOP-EP package provides low thermal resistance for reliable operation at the extended industrial temperature range. When designing with the LTC2870, the shared I/O pins require careful PCB routing to avoid coupling between RS232 single-ended and RS485 differential traces; the exposed pad must be soldered to a thermal copper pour for specified thermal performance.

Aplicações típicas

LTC2870IFE#PBF é adequado para 7 aplicaçãos: Industrial Multipoint Fieldbus Node, Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminal Serial Interface, RS232-to-RS485 Protocol Converter Bridge, Building Automation and HVAC Controller, Test and Measurement Instrumentation, Industrial Printer and Barcode Reader Controller, Security and Access Control Panel.

🏭

Industrial Multipoint Fieldbus Node

The LTC2870 fits industrial multipoint fieldbus nodes because its RS485 channel delivers 20 Mbps data rate and ±25 kV HBM ESD over a 1200 m differential cable with up to 32 unit loads. According to the Analog Devices datasheet, the integrated 120 ohm selectable termination removes external resistor networks and the shared I/O pin map supports mode-switching between RS485 (multi-drop) and RS232 (point-to-point debug) on the same connector. Compared to discrete RS485 transceivers, the LTC2870 reduces BOM by integrating both protocols, important for PLC, motor drive, and process-control front ends where fieldbus robustness is mandatory.

💳

Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminal Serial Interface

POS terminals must connect to legacy RS232 peripherals (PIN pads, scales, receipt printers) and RS485 multi-drop networks (back-office terminals). The LTC2870's pin-configurable multiprotocol support allows a single IC to handle both physical layers from one 3V to 5.5V supply, eliminating an external charge pump. According to the Analog Devices datasheet, the ±25 kV ESD protection on bus pins survives real-world electrostatic discharge from cashiers and peripherals without external TVS arrays, reducing PCB area in space-constrained POS enclosures.

🌐

RS232-to-RS485 Protocol Converter Bridge

The LTC2870 can serve as the physical-layer bridge inside an RS232-to-RS485 protocol converter by time-multiplexing its shared I/O between modes. According to the Analog Devices datasheet, firmware controls mode pins to switch between RS232 single-ended and RS485 differential operation, allowing a small embedded MCU to translate packet formats and baud rates. Compared to using two separate transceivers, the LTC2870 shrinks PCB footprint and BOM count, ideal for industrial gateway and protocol-bridge products.

🏭

Building Automation and HVAC Controller

Building automation controllers must interface with BACnet MS/TP (RS485) and service-laptop RS232 ports on the same backplane. The LTC2870's shared-pin multiprotocol architecture lets one footprint serve both bus types, with the integrated 120 ohm termination supporting BACnet trunk segments without external resistors. According to the datasheet, the industrial -40 C to +85 C temperature range and ±25 kV ESD rating meet building-automation reliability requirements, while the single 3V to 5.5V supply simplifies 24V-bus-derived power trees common in HVAC panels.

🔬

Test and Measurement Instrumentation

Bench instruments (protocol analyzers, data loggers, calibration rigs) often need to communicate to RS232 and RS485 DUTs from one chassis. The LTC2870 supports this via pin-mode switching, with the loopback test mode enabling self-test of the RS232 path without external cabling. According to the Analog Devices datasheet, the 20 Mbps RS485 capability covers high-speed fieldbus capture and the 500 kbps RS232 capability handles legacy instrument links, all from a single 28-pin TSSOP-EP footprint suitable for compact instrument front ends.

🖨️

Industrial Printer and Barcode Reader Controller

Industrial label printers and barcode readers must communicate over RS485 to factory MES systems and over RS232 to local configuration laptops. The LTC2870's pin-configurable architecture allows one IC to cover both connection types, with the shared-pin design reducing PCB complexity. According to the Analog Devices datasheet, the integrated RS485 termination, ±25 kV ESD, and wide supply range from 3V to 5.5V accommodate industrial 5V/3.3V mixed-rail designs, while the industrial temperature grade suits factory-floor operation.

🎥

Security and Access Control Panel

Access-control panels communicate to card readers and sub-panels over RS485 (multi-drop) and to configuration PCs over RS232 (point-to-point). The LTC2870's multiprotocol support consolidates both physical layers on shared I/O lines, allowing one connector to serve either purpose. According to the Analog Devices datasheet, the ±25 kV ESD rating and robust ±15V RS485 common-mode range tolerate cable discharge events on long wiring runs typical in building access systems, and the single 3V to 5.5V supply simplifies battery-backed security-panel power architectures.

What protocols does the LTC2870IFE#PBF support?
The LTC2870IFE#PBF supports RS232, RS485, and RS422 protocols from a single 3V to 5.5V supply. According to the Analog Devices LTC2870/LTC2871 datasheet, it can be configured as two RS232 single-ended transceivers or one RS485 differential transceiver on shared I/O lines, allowing one IC to cover multiple physical-layer interfaces on the same PCB footprint.
What is the maximum RS485 data rate of the LTC2870?
The LTC2870 supports RS485 data rates up to 20 Mbps. According to the Analog Devices datasheet, the RS485 driver and receiver pair achieves 20 Mbps over a properly terminated twisted-pair cable, while the RS232 channel operates up to 500 kbps, sufficient for high-speed COM-port and industrial fieldbus traffic.
Does the LTC2870IFE#PBF require a negative supply for RS232?
No, the LTC2870 does not require a negative supply for RS232 operation. According to the Analog Devices datasheet, on-chip charge-pump-derived rails generate the necessary RS232 driver levels from a single 3V to 5.5V supply, eliminating the external negative rail required by classic RS232 transceivers and simplifying the power tree.
What is the ESD rating of the LTC2870?
The LTC2870 bus pins are rated at ±25 kV HBM ESD protection. According to the Analog Devices datasheet, this high ESD robustness allows the LTC2870 to survive real-world industrial cable discharge events without external protection components, reducing BOM cost and PCB area in fieldbus and POS terminal designs.
Where can I buy the LTC2870IFE#PBF online?
The LTC2870IFE#PBF can be purchased from authorized Analog Devices distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, Octopart-listed resellers, and XAIPART (as of 2026-10-08). Pricing at qty 1 was approximately $11.42 per unit at DigiKey per the verified distributor listings; volume breaks bring the unit price down to roughly $7.48 at 1000 pieces.
What is the lead time for LTC2870IFE#PBF orders?
Lead time for the LTC2870IFE#PBF is typically 8 to 12 weeks from the factory when not in distributor stock, as reported by Analog Devices supply chain status (as of 2026-10-08). DigiKey and Mouser frequently hold inventory of the TSSOP-EP (FE) packaged part; for production volumes, contacting authorized distributors for a scheduled order is recommended.
LTC2870 vs LTC2871 - which is better for independent RS232 and RS485 channels?
The LTC2871 offers independent control of two RS232 transceivers and one RS485 transceiver on separate I/O pins. The LTC2870 shares its I/O pins between RS232 and RS485 modes - so choose the LTC2871 when you need simultaneous dual-protocol operation without pin multiplexing, and the LTC2870 (this part) when shared I/O is acceptable and PCB footprint matters.
What is the best drop-in replacement for LTC2870IFE#PBF?
The closest drop-in replacement is the LTC2870CFE#PBF (commercial 0 C to +70 C grade), the LTC2870IFE (industrial grade without PBF suffix), and other -FE suffix variants from Analog Devices. According to the LTC2870 datasheet family, all share the 28-pin TSSOP-EP package and pinout, allowing direct PCB substitution provided the temperature grade matches the target environment.
Can the LTC2870 be used as a protocol converter between RS232 and RS485?
Yes, the LTC2870 can act as a bridge between RS232 and RS485 by multiplexing its shared I/O pins between modes. According to the Analog Devices datasheet, a controller can reconfigure the LTC2870 on the fly to translate packets between the two physical layers, though this requires firmware-side protocol handling and is not transparent at the hardware layer.
When should I choose LTC2870 over a dedicated single-protocol transceiver?
Choose the LTC2870 when the end-equipment must support both RS232 (legacy PCs, debug ports) and RS485 (fieldbus, multi-drop networks) on shared connectors. According to the Analog Devices datasheet, using one multiprotocol IC reduces BOM, simplifies qualification, and allows firmware-driven mode switching - particularly valuable for POS terminals, industrial gateways, and configurable test instruments.
Is LTC2870IFE#PBF the same as LTC2870IFE?
The LTC2870IFE#PBF and LTC2870IFE differ only in the ordering suffix: the #PBF designation indicates lead-free (Pb-free) RoHS-compliant terminal finish per Analog Devices naming convention. Functionally and pinout-wise they are identical, with the #PBF part being the current RoHS-compliant shipping variant and the older LTC2870IFE being a non-RoHS historical version.

Guia de seleção

Choose the LTC2870IFE#PBF when the end-equipment must support both RS232 and RS485 protocols on shared connectors from a single 3V to 5.5V supply, especially in industrial multipoint fieldbus nodes, POS terminals, and RS232-to-RS485 converter bridges. Its integrated 120 ohm selectable termination, ±25 kV ESD, and TSSOP-EP footprint minimize BOM and PCB area compared to discrete single-protocol designs. Choose the LTC2870CFE#PBF instead for commercial 0 C to +70 C environments (lower cost); choose the LTC2871 family when you need independent RS232 and RS485 channels on separate pins rather than shared I/O. For non-RoHS or legacy builds, the LTC2870IFE (without #PBF) remains available from inventory but is being phased out by the Pb-free variant.

  • ±25 kV HBM ESD on bus pins (vs LTC2850 / LTC2851 RS485 transceivers (~±15 kV typical))

Notas de projeto

Estimated: the LTC2870 28-TSSOP-EP package has a thermal pad (EP) that must be soldered to a continuous ground copper pour on the PCB. Per Analog Devices application guidance, an EP copper area of at least 1 square inch is recommended for industrial temperature operation; failure to solder the EP can raise junction temperature and reduce ESD robustness in field-installed environments. Route shared I/O traces (A, B, RS232 TX/RX) with controlled impedance (100 ohm differential for RS485, 50 ohm single-ended for RS232) and keep them physically separated to avoid cross-protocol coupling.

Place the four charge-pump flying capacitors (C1P/C1N, C2P/C2N) and the VCC/VEE bypass capacitors as close as possible to the LTC2870 pins. Use 0.1 uF X7R ceramics at VCC and VEE for high-frequency decoupling; bulk decoupling (1 uF to 10 uF) handles RS232 driver switching transients. Estimated: at 500 kbps RS232 with full swing, expect ~20 mA transient bursts from the on-chip charge pump; insufficient bulk decoupling can cause VEE droop and inter-symbol jitter.

Do not leave MODE, TE485, TE232A, TE232B, or RE485 floating - tie them to defined logic levels (VCC or GND) through 100 kohm pull-ups or directly to GPIO. Per the Analog Devices datasheet, floating enable pins can cause the driver outputs to switch unpredictably during power-up, potentially asserting RS232 or RS485 onto the bus before the MCU firmware has configured the protocol. Also confirm RS485 termination is enabled only when the LTC2870 sits at a cable end; in mid-bus positions, leave the 120 ohm termination off to avoid bus loading.

Estimated: for RS485 operation at 20 Mbps over long cables (>100 m), place 100 ohm differential termination at the cable ends and minimize stub lengths to <1/10 of the rise time (~5 ns). Use twisted-pair cable with characteristic impedance near 120 ohm (Belden 3106A or equivalent). The LTC2870's ±25 kV ESD rating tolerates cable discharge events, but external TVS protection (e.g., PESD0402-140) is recommended for outdoor installations exposed to lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-6B generic standards - check your application-specific surge requirement.
