The SN75LBC784 provides an upgrade to the RS-232 serial interface and can be backwards-compatible with existing serial ports while offering the higher performance required by new faster peripherals, such as v.34 (v.fast) modems. The RS-232 standard, and subsequent revisions, only supports data rates up to 20 kbps over about 15 meters of cable. For RS-423-B the data rate is increased to 120 kbps and transmission distance to 1.2 km by reducing the maximum output signal swing, increasing the driver output current, and reducing the receiver input voltage thresholds.
