Has anybody out there implemented an RS232 type interface with data rates in the 100 kbits/sec or higher? There is an interface spec soon to come out (I think) RS562 which uses RS232 type interface with speeds up to 64 kbits/sec synchronous. I was looking into how you would implement this interface and it seems to me that the available RS232 drivers/receivers could not meet the timing requirements mainly due to slew rate limitation. Slew rate is limited by RS232 to 30 V/microsecs. but is typically 6 V/microsecs. or less in RS232 drivers. I am interested if anyone has had any experience related to this implementation. Please email or call me and I will summarize to the net if enough responses are received. Thanks in advance. Osvaldo A. Mesa AT&T Paradyne uunet!pdn!mesa Mail Stop LG-132 mesa@pdn.paradyne.com P. O.
