Description:

The MC1488 is a classic quad line driver IC designed to meet the EIA-232D (RS-232) standard for serial communication. It’s used to convert TTL logic levels to RS-232 voltage levels, making it a key component in interfacing microcontrollers or digital systems with serial ports. Each of its four drivers can handle bipolar output swings, making it ideal for driving long cables or noisy environments.
