Texas Instruments GD65232
The GD65232 and GD75232 combine three drivers and five receivers from the Texas Instruments tradestandard SN75188 and SN75189 bipolar quadruple drivers and receivers, respectively. The pinout matches the flow-through design of the SN75C185 to decrease the part count, reduce the board space required, and allow easy interconnection of the UART and serial-port connector of an IBM™ PC/AT and compatibles. The bipolar circuits and processing of the GD65232 and GD75232 provide a rugged, lowcost solution for this function at the expense of quiescent power and external passive components relative to the SN75C185.
