NAT9914

Comment: Exposing the device to stresses above those listed could cause permanent damage. The device is not meant to be operated under conditions outside the limits described in the operational section. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect reliability.

The NAT9914 IEEE 488.2 controller chip can perform all the interface functions defined by the IEEE Standard 488.1-1987, and also meets the additional requirements and recommendations of the IEEE Standard 488.2-1987. Connected between the procssor and the IEEE 488 bus, the NAT9914 provides highlevel management of the IEEE 488 bus, significantly increases the throughput of driver software, and simplifies both the hardware and software design. It performs complete IEEE 488 Talker, Listener, and Controller functions. In addition to its numerous improvements, the NAT9914 is also completely pin compatible with the TI TMS 9914A and software compatible with the NEC PD7210 and TI TMS9914A controller chips.
