Input TTL or CMOS signal levels are inverted and translated into either EIA RS-232E or RS-423A signal levels depending on the status of the Mode Select inputs MS+ and MS–. Resistor values between 2 k Ω and 10 kΩ may be selected giving a slew rate which can be adjusted from 10 V/ µs to 2.2 V/µs. This adjustment of the slew rate allows tailoring of the output characteristics to suit the interface cable being used. The outputs may be disabled using the EN (Enable Input).
