MAX1488E ±15kV ESD-Protected, Quad, Low-Power RS-232 Line Driver

The MAX1488E quad, low-power Line Driver 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. This device has a guaranteed 120kbps data rate. Power-supply current is less than 180A over a 4.5V to 13.2V supply voltage range.
The MAX1488E is pin compatible with the MC1488 MC14C88, SN75188 SN75C188 DS1488, and DS14C88. It is available in 14-pin plastic DIP and SO packages.
