The SN75C188 is a monolithic, low-power, quadruple line driver that interfaces data terminal equipment with data communications equipment. This device is designed to conform to ANSI Standard EIA/TIA-232-E.

An external diode in series with each supply-voltage terminal is needed to protect the SN75C188 under certain fault conditions to comply with EIA/TIA-232-E.

The SN75C188 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
