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.
