DS14C238 Single Supply TIA/EIA-2324x4Driver/Receiver
May 1999
General Description
The DS14C238 is a four driver, four receiver device which
conforms to the TIA/EIA-232-E standard and CCITT V.28
recommendations. This device eliminates
employing an internal DC-DCconverter to generate the necessary output levels from a single +5V supply. Driver slew
rate control and receiver noise filtering have also been internalized to eliminate the need for external slew rate control
and noise filtering capacitors.
