Table 3. Pin Function Descriptions 
Pin No.  Mnemonic  Description 
1, 3  C1+, C1– 
External Capacitor 1 is connected between these pins. A 0.1 μF capacitor is recommended, but larger capacitors 
of up to 47 μF can be used. 
2  V+  Internally Generated Positive Supply (6 V Nominal). 
4, 5  C2+, C2– 
External Capacitor 2 is connected between these pins. A 0.1 μF capacitor is recommended, but larger capacitors 
of up to 47 μF can be used. 
6  V–  Internally Generated Negative Supply (−6 V Nominal). 
7, 14  T2
OUT
, T1
OUT
  Transmitter (Driver) Outputs. These are RS-232 signal levels (typically ±6 V). 
8, 13  R2
IN
, R1
IN
Receiver Inputs. These inputs accept RS-232 signal levels. An internal 5 kΩ pull-down resistor to GND is connected 
on each input. 
9, 12  R2
OUT
, R1
OUT
  Receiver Outputs. These are TTL/CMOS output logic levels. 
10, 11  T2
IN
, T1
IN
  Transmitter (Driver) Inputs. These inputs accept TTL/CMOS levels. 
15  GND  Ground Pin. Must be connected to 0 V. 
16 V
CC
  Power Supply Input (3.3 V ± 0.3 V).
