DESCRIPTION

The DS14C88, pin-for-pin compatible to the

DS1488/MC1488, is a quad line drivers designed to

interface data terminal equipment (DTE) with data

circuit-terminating equipment (DCE). This device

translates standard TTL/CMOS logic levels to levels

conforming to EIA-232-D and CCITT V.28 standards.

The device is fabricated in low threshold CMOS metal

gate technology. The device provides very low power

consumption compared to its bipolar equivalents: 500

μA (DS14C88) versus 25 mA (DS1488).

The DS14C88 simplifies designs by eliminating the

need for external slew rate control capacitors. Slew

rate control in accordance with EIA-232D is provided

on-chip, eliminating the output capacitors.
