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.
