DS1488N is listed in the Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists National Semiconductor. Its product description is IC TRANSCEIVER 4/0 14PDIP. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The DS1488N is a quad line driver manufactured by National Semiconductor, now under Texas Instruments. It is designed for RS-232 communication applications, providing four independent drivers to convert low-voltage logic signals into higher voltage levels suitable for serial data transmission. The component utilizes a 14-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) with through-hole mounting capabilities. Its physical dimensions are specified as 19.69 x 6.6 x 4.57mm. This integrated circuit serves as a fundamental interface device for establishing reliable serial connections in legacy and industrial systems requiring standard RS-232 signal levels.
Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as National Semiconductor assets were acquired by Texas Instruments. Ensure the part number suffix matches the required package type, specifically PDIP for through-hole applications. Confirm that the specific revision aligns with your design's pinout and electrical requirements, as datasheets may vary slightly between original National Semiconductor releases and current TI documentation.
Select this component when a quad driver is required for RS-232 signaling without the need for internal charge pumps or inverters found in transceivers. It is suitable for designs where separate receive functionality is handled by other components. Consider the PDIP package constraints if board space allows for through-hole assembly. Verify compatibility with the target logic family voltage levels before integration.
The DS1488 belongs to the broader family of line drivers used for serial data transmission. It is functionally related to parts like the MC1488 and DS14C88. While originally produced by National Semiconductor, it is now cataloged under Texas Instruments. It differs from transceivers by providing only transmit functionality, requiring external receivers for full duplex communication.
