Functional Description
The āserial portā on the back of an Apple-compatible
computer or peripheral is a fairly versatile āmulti-protocolā
connector. It must be able to connect to a wide bandwidth
LAN (an AppleTalk/LocalTalk network), which requires a
high speed differential transceiver to meet the AppleTalk
specification, and it must also be able to connect directly to
a printer or modem through a short RS232 style link. The
LTC1323 is designed to provide all the functions necessary
to implement such a port on a single chip. Two versions of
the LTC1323 are available: a 16-pin SO version which
provides the minimum solution for interfacing to an
AppleTalk network in a smaller package, and a larger 24-pin
SO Wide version which additionally includes all the hand-
shaking lines required to implement a complete AppleTalk/
modem/printer serial port. All LTC1323s run from a single
5V power supply while providing true single-ended com-
patibility, and include a 0.5ĀµA low power shutdown mode
to improve lifetime in battery-powered devices. The 24-
pin SO Wide version also includes a receiver keep-alive
mode for monitoring external signals while drawing 65ĀµA
typically.
The LTC1323 includes an RS422-compatible differential
driver/receiver pair for data transmission, with the driver
specified to drive 2V into the 100ā¦ primary of a typical
LocalTalk interface transformer/RFI interference network.
Either output of the differential RS422 driver can also act as
an single-ended driver, allowing the LTC1323 to commu-
nicate over a standard serial connection. The 24-pin SO
Wide LTC1323 also includes an extra single ended only
driver and two extra RS232-compatible single-ended re-
ceivers for handshaking lines. All versions include an on-
board charge pump to provide a regulated ā 5V supply
required for the single-ended drivers. The charge pump
can also provide up to 10mA of external load current to
power other circuitry.
