MAX1488E

19-2403; Rev 0; 8/95 ±15kV ESD-Protected, Quad, Low-Power RS-232 Line Driver _______________General Description 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. Powersupply current is less than 180µA 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. ____________________________Features o ESD Protection: ±15kV—Human Body Model ±6kV—IEC801-2, Contact Discharge ±15kV—IEC801-2, Air-Gap Discharge o Latchup Free, Even During an ESD Event o Low 85µA Supply Current from IEE or ICC o Guaranteed 120kbps Data Rate o No External Capacitors Required for Slew-Rate Limiting o Pin Compatible with MC1488, MC14C88, SN75188, SN75C188, DS1488, and DS14C88 MAX1488E ________________________Applications 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 ______________Ordering Information PART MAX1488ECPD MAX1488ECSD MAX1488EC/D MAX1488EEPD TEMP.
