The ADM5170 is an octal line driver suitable for digital communi- cation systems with data rates up to 116 kB/s. Input TTL or CMOS signal levels are inverted and translated into either EIA RS-232E or RS-423A signal levels.
The ADM5170 is an octal line driver that converts TTL/CMOS inputs to RS‑232 or RS‑423 signal levels. It offers resistor‑programmable slew rate, 3‑state outputs, short‑circuit protection, and low power consumption, available in 28‑pin DIP and PLCC packages.
The document provides detailed specifications, absolute maximum ratings, pin configurations, programming information for slew rate and output mode, typical application circuits, performance graphs, and mechanical dimensions.
