MAX1488ECPD+

MAX1488ECPD+ is a ±15kV ESD-protected, quad, low-power RS-232 line driver. It is designed for EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-562, and CCITT V.28 communications in harsh environments. Each transmitter output is protected against ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks. The inputs are TTL and CMOS compatible with minimal loading. The outputs feature internally controlled slew-rate limiting and current limiting. It is pin-compatible with the MC1488, MC14C88, SN75188, SN75C188, DS1488, and DS14C88. Applications include PC motherboards, modems, interface data terminal equipment (DTE) with data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE), equipment meeting IEC1000-4-2 (formerly IEC801-2) or ±15kV ESD protection.
