The RS232 line inputs of the LT1537 have on-chip protec-
tion from ESD transients up to
鹵5kV
during shutdown or
power ON state. The protection structures act to divert the
static discharge safely to system ground. In order for the
ESD protection to function effectively, the power supply
and ground pins of the LT1537 must be connected to
ground through low impedances. The power supply
decoupling capacitors and charge pump storage capaci-
tors provide this low impedance in normal application of
the circuit. The only constraint is that low ESR capacitors
must be used for bypassing and charge storage. ESD
testing must be done with pins V
