DESCRIPTION…

The Sipex SP385E is an enhanced version of the Sipex SP200 family of RS232 line drivers/

receivers. The SP385E offers +3.3V operation for EIA-562 and EIA-232 applications. The

SP385E maintains the same performance features offered in its predecessors. The SP385E is

available in plastic SOIC or SSOP packages operating over the commercial and industrial

temperature ranges. The SP385E is pin compatible to the LTC1385 EIA-562 transceiver, except

the drivers in the SP385E can only be disabled with the ON/OFF pin.
