DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The SN75185 combines three drivers and five
receivers from the TI 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 IBM™
PC/AT™ and compatibles. The bipolar circuits and
processing of the SN75185 provide a rugged low-cost
solution for this function at the expense of quiescent
power and external passive components relative to
the SN75C185.
The SN75185 complies with the requirements of the
TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU v.28 standards. These
standards are for data interchange between a host
computer and peripheral at signaling rates up to 20
kbit/s. The switching speeds of the SN75185 are fast
enough to support rates up to 120 kbit/s with lower
capacitive loads (shorter cables). Interoperability at
the higher signaling rates cannot be assured unless
the designer has design control of the cable and the
interface circuits at both ends. For interoperability at
signaling rates to 120 kbit/s, use of TIA/EIA-423-B
(ITU v.10) and TIA/EIA-422-B (ITU v.11) standards is
recommended.

Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating
conditions" is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltages are with respect to the network ground terminal.
Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable ambient
temperature is PD = (TJ(max) – TA)/θJA. Operating at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can affect reliability.
The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.
RS-232 pins are tested with respect to ground and to each other.
Per MIL-PRF-38535
RS-232 pins are tested with respect to ground.

The algebraic convention, in which the more positive (less negative) limit is designated as maximum, is used in this data sheet for logic
levels only (e.g., if –10 V is maximum, the typical value is a more negative voltage).
Output short-circuit conditions must maintain the total power dissipation below absolute maximum ratings.
Test conditions are those specified by TIA/EIA-232-F and as listed above.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Diodes placed in series with the VDD and VSS leads protect the SN75185 in the fault condition. In the fault
condition, the device outputs are shorted to ±15 V, and the power supplies are at low and provide low-impedance
paths to ground (see Figure 15).

RS-232 maximum slew-rate requirement of 30 V/μs. The value of the loading capacitors required depends on the line
length and desired slew rate, but typically is 330 pF.
