Multiple RS-232 drivers and receivers

Features

■ Meets and exceeds the requirements of

EIA/TIA-232-E and ITUV.28 standard

■ Single chip with easy interface between UART

and serial port connector of IBM PC/AT™ and
compatibles

■ Designed to support data rates up to 120 kbps

■ Pinout compatible with ST75C185

Description

SO-20

ST75185C

TSSOP20

The ST75185C contains three drivers and five
receivers. The pinout matches the DB9S
connector design in order to decrease the part
count, reduce the board space required and allow
easy interconnection of the UART and serial port
connector of IBM PC/AT™ and compatibles. The
bipolar circuits and processing of the ST75185C
provides a rugged low-cost solution for this
function at the expense of quiescent power and
external passive components relative to the
ST75C185.

The ST75185C complies with the requirements of
the EIA/TIA 232-E and ITU (formally CCITT) v.28
standards. These standards are for data
interchange between a host computer and
peripheral at signalling rates up to 20 k-bits/s. The
switching speeds of the ST75185C are fast
enough to support rates up to 120 K-bits/s with
lower capacitive loads (shorter cables). Inter­operability at the higher signalling rates cannot be
assured unless the designer has design control of
the cable and the interface circuits at the both
ends. For inter-operability at signalling rates to

120 k-bits/s, use of EIA/ITA-423-B (ITU v.10) and
EIA/ITA-422-B (ITU v.11) standards are
recommended.

The ST75185C is characterized for operation over
the range of 0°C to 70 °C

Diodes placed in series with the VDD and VSS leads protect the ST75185C in the fault
condition in which the devices output are shorted to ±15 V and the power supplies are at low
