Stamp Parts

In looking at Scott Edwards book on the stamps
he shows the stamp II using a couple of chips to
interface to the RS232 lines. These are UMH11TN
and DTA114EETL. I like the simplicity of the solution
and would like to use them in another situation. Anyone
know who makes these parts?
I have been checking verious chip makers and search
engines but n success yet.
Cheers
Kenn

    Kenn -

    Try asking Scott [noparse][[/noparse] www.seetron.com] or anyone from Parallax
    [noparse][[/noparse]www.parallaxinc.com ]. These are the original parts used by both companys
    to interface the first BS-2s with the outside world via serial means.
    Later, the operatives Shiftin/Shiftout were added.

    As I remember they are transistor "packs" and may have been made by
    Motorola. Long time ago (in earth time) <g>.

    The DTA114xxxx is made by the Rohm Corporation. They are available from
    Garrett Electronic Supply (even in less than full reel quantities). It is
    a "digital transistor" in an SOT23 package with two resistors built in for
    base drive. You need one NPN and one PNP for the Stamp-like RS232
    interface. An equivalent product is made by Panasonic, the UN2111/UN2211,
    which is an NPN and a PNP together in one 6-pin SMD package with 10k/10k
    resistors in each base circuit. That is available from Digikey and the
    part # is XN4311CT.
