NOTES: 2. The 200 ns for the output to change from –3 V to 3 V (or vice versa) corresponds to the 30 V/µs maximum slew rate of EIA/TIA-232-E,
EIA/TIA-562, and ITU Recommendation V.28.
3. The more stringent requirement for transition times comes from the EIA/TIA-562, which requires the rise and fall times to be
measured from 3.3 V.
