The instantaneous slew rate of the transmitter
output is internally limited to a maximum of 30V/
µs in order to meet the standards [EIA RS-232-F ].
The transition region slew rate of these enhanced
products is typically 10V/µs. The smooth transi-
tion of the loaded output from VOL to VOH clearly
meets the monotonicity requirements of the stan-
dard [EIA RS-232-F].
Receivers
The receivers convert RS-232 input signals to
inverted TTL signals. Since the input is usually
from a transmission line, where long cable lengths
and system interference can degrade the signal, the
inputs have a typical hysteresis margin of 500mV.
This ensures that the receiver is virtually immune
to noisy transmission lines.
The input thresholds are 0.8V minimum and 2.4V
maximum, again well within the ±3V RS-232
requirements. The receiver inputs are also pro-
tected against voltages up to ±25V. Should an
input be left unconnected, a 5K1 pulldown resis-
tor to ground will commit the output of the receiver
to a high state.
