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.
