Product details
Overview
LTC1045CSW#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower hex level translator IC with six independent comparator-based translators, three-state outputs, programmable bias current via external resistor, and full power shutdown capability. It supports TTL/CMOS-to-±5V analog switch drive, ECL-to-CMOS translation (3V–15V VCC), and ground-isolated buffering. Used in RS232 line receivers and flat ribbon cable driver/receiver systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1045CSW#PBF datasheet, LTC1045CSW#PBF pinout, LTC1045CSW#PBF application, or LTC1045CSW#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 20-lead SO Wide package, ±50V input tolerance with 100kΩ limiting resistor, 1.2µs response at 100µA supply current, internal hysteresis for noise immunity, and dual trip-point architecture (VTRIP1 for IN1–IN4, VTRIP2 for IN5–IN6).
Technical Context
The LTC1045CSW#PBF integrates six high-speed comparators with output latches and three-state capability in a single monolithic CMOS die. Each comparator features a dedicated positive input (IN1–IN6), shared negative inputs grouped as VTRIP1 (pins 9, IN1–IN4) and VTRIP2 (pin 8, IN5–IN6), enabling flexible threshold configuration across two independent voltage windows.
Power/speed trade-off is controlled via ISET (pin 12): connecting ISET to V– through an external resistor sets bias current (100µA–3.5mA), directly modulating propagation delay (1.2µs–100ns) and hysteresis (7mV–20mV). Forcing ISET to V+ shuts down linear circuitry while retaining CMOS output state latch functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 15V differential between V+ and V–; VOH–VOL ≥ 3V - enables wide-rail logic translation including ±5V analog switch drive |
| Input Voltage Range | V– to (V+ – 2V) on VTRIP pins; inputs tolerate ±50V with 100kΩ external limiting resistor - supports high-voltage isolation and fault-tolerant sensing |
| Supply Current (Active) | 2.5mA to 4.5mA typical at RSET = 10kΩ - programmable quiescent current allows optimization for speed vs. micropower operation |
| Supply Current (Shutdown) | 10nA typical when ISET = V+ - near-zero static power enables battery-backed or always-on isolation applications |
| Response Time | 1.2µs at 100µA supply current; 100ns at full bias - selectable delay supports timing-critical and ultra-low-power use cases |
| Hysteresis | 7mV to 20mV, adjustable via RSET - improves noise immunity without external components in noisy industrial environments |
| Output Drive | VOH ≥ 2.4V @ –360µA; VOL ≤ 0.4V @ 1.6mA - meets TTL/CMOS logic thresholds across full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead plastic small-outline wide (SO WIDE), 0.300-inch body width, JEDEC MS-013 compliant. Pin pitch: 0.050 inch (1.27 mm). RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOH) | Output High Reference | Defines high-level output voltage rail; must be ≤ V+ and ≥ (V– + 3V); sets VOH switching threshold |
| 2–7 (IN1–IN6) | Comparator Positive Inputs | Six independent signal inputs; each drives one translator stage; no internal clamping diodes |
| 8 (VTRIP2) | Trip Reference for IN5/IN6 | Common negative input for comparators 5 and 6; programmable threshold within V– to (V+ – 2V) |
| 9 (VTRIP1) | Trip Reference for IN1–IN4 | Common negative input for comparators 1–4; independent of VTRIP2 for dual-threshold designs |
| 10 (V–) | Negative Supply Rail | Ground or negative reference for comparator core; also used as low-level output reference (VOL) |
| 11 (VOL) | Output Low Reference | Defines low-level output voltage rail; must be ≥ V– and ≤ (V+ – 3V); sets VOL switching threshold |
| 12 (ISET) | Bias/Shutdown Control | Three functions: (1) RSET to V– programs bias current, (2) forced to V+ shuts off linear circuitry, (3) forces output latch |
| 13 (DISABLE) | Three-State Enable | Active-high control; when high, all six outputs enter high-impedance state for bus sharing |
| 14–19 (OUT1–OUT6) | Translator Outputs | CMOS-compatible buffered outputs with latch and three-state capability; driven by respective comparators |
| 20 (V+) | Positive Supply Rail | Main comparator supply; must be ≥ (V– + 4.5V); maximum differential to any other supply pin is 15V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Power/Speed Trade-off | External RSET on ISET pin adjusts supply current from 100µA to 3.5mA, scaling response time from 1.2µs to 100ns |
| Complete Power Shutdown | ISET forced to V+ disables comparator core while preserving output latch state - <10nA supply current, zero DC dissipation |
| Dual Independent Trip Points | VTRIP1 (pin 9) sets thresholds for first four channels; VTRIP2 (pin 8) sets thresholds for last two - enables multi-level detection |
| ±50V Input Tolerance | Inputs withstand ±50V with 100kΩ series resistor - eliminates need for external protection in high-voltage industrial I/O |
| Three-State Outputs with Fast Enable | DISABLE pin asserts Hi-Z in 165ns; releases to active state in 200ns - suitable for shared data bus interfacing |

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage rating for LTC1045CSW#PBF?
The LTC1045CSW#PBF has an absolute maximum total supply voltage (V+ to V–) of 18V, with a recommended operating differential of ≤15V. The VOH–VOL differential must be ≥3V and ≤15V. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage due to internal parasitic diode conduction or oxide breakdown. Always observe Note 2 in the datasheet regarding differential voltage constraints between any two power pins.
How does the ISET pin function in LTC1045CSW#PBF beyond setting bias current?
In addition to programming bias current via an external resistor to V–, the ISET pin on the LTC1045CSW#PBF serves two critical roles: (1) forcing ISET to V+ completely shuts off the comparator core while retaining CMOS output latch state, reducing supply current to 10nA; (2) the rising edge of ISET triggers output latching with 80ns setup time, enabling precise data capture in asynchronous systems.
Can LTC1045CSW#PBF drive analog switches like the CD4016 directly?
Yes, the LTC1045CSW#PBF is explicitly designed for ±5V analog switch drive. With V+ = 5V, V– = –5V, VOH = 5V, and VOL = –5V, its outputs deliver rail-to-rail control signals compatible with CD4016 gate thresholds. Its low output resistance (ROH ≈ 260Ω, ROL ≈ 100Ω) ensures fast switch turn-on/turn-off without external buffers - confirmed in Typical Application TA06.
What is the purpose of separate VTRIP1 and VTRIP2 pins on LTC1045CSW#PBF?
VTRIP1 (pin 9) sets the common negative input threshold for comparators IN1–IN4, while VTRIP2 (pin 8) sets the threshold for IN5–IN6. This dual-trip architecture allows independent voltage window detection - for example, using IN1–IN4 to monitor a 0–3V sensor range and IN5–IN6 to detect overvoltage events above 4V - without external resistive dividers or additional ICs.
Does LTC1045CSW#PBF require external pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No, the LTC1045CSW#PBF inputs have no internal clamping diodes and do not require external pull-downs for normal operation. However, in floating-input scenarios (e.g., unused channels), a weak pull-down (e.g., 100kΩ to V–) is recommended to prevent undefined states and reduce susceptibility to EMI - as noted in Typical Application TA12 for RS232 receiver use.
