The DS26F32 is a quad differential line receiver designed to meet the requirements of EIA Standards RS-422 and RS-423, and Federal Standards 1020 and 1030 for balanced and unbalanced digital data transmission. The DS26F32 offers improved performance due to the use of state-of-the-art L-FAST bipolar technology. The L-FAST technology allows for higher speeds and lower currents by utilizing extremely short gate delay times. Thus, the DS26F32 features lower power, extended temperature range, and improved specifications. The device features an input sensitivity of 200 mV over the input common mode range of ±7.0V. The DS26F32 provides an enable function common to all four receivers and TRI-STATE outputs with 8.0 mA sink capability. Also, a fail-safe input/output relationship keeps the outputs high when the inputs are open. The DS26F32 offers optimum performance when used with the DS26F31 Quad Differential Line Driver.
