Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | READY | output | Active-high ready-to-transmit output that goes high when V- falls below -4V and the device is ready to transmit. |

| 9 | R1OUT | output | TTL/CMOS receiver output. |
| 10 | INVALID | output | Valid signal detector output, active low; a logic high indicates a valid RS-232 level is present on a receiver input. |
| 11 | T1IN | input | TTL/CMOS transmitter input with no pullup resistor; connect unused inputs to GND or VCC. |
| 12 | FORCEON | input | Active-high force-on input; drive high to override AutoShutdown Plus, keeping transmitters and receivers on (FORCEOFF must be high). |
