† 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.

NOTES: 1. All voltages are with respect to the network ground terminal.
             2. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51, except for through-
                 hole packages, which use a trace length of zero.
             3. RS-232 pins are tested with respect to ground and each other.
             4. Per MIL-PRF38535
             5. RS-232 pins are tested with respect to ground.

The SN75185 combines three drivers and five receivers from TI trade-standard 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^TM PC/AT^TM and compatibles. The bipolar circuits and processing of the SN75185 provides 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 (formerly CCITT) 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 are recommended.

The SN75185 is characterized for operation over the temperature range of 0to 70.
