The DS14C238 is a four driver, four receiver device which conforms to the TIA/EIA-232-E standard and CCITT V.28 recommendations. This device eliminates ±12V supplies by employing an internal DC-DC converter to generate the necessary output levels from a single +5V supply. Driver slew rate control and receiver noise filtering have also been internalized to eliminate the need for external slew rate control and noise filtering capacitors.

Features

Conforms to TIA/EIA-232-E and CCITT V.28
Internal DC-DC converter
Operates with single +5V supply
Low power requirement-I_CC 10 mA max
Internal driver slew rate control
Receiver noise filtering
Operates above 120 kbits/sec
Direct replacement for MAX238
