The DS90C032 is a quad CMOS differential line receiver designed for applications requiring ultra low power dissipation and high data rates. The DS90C032 accepts low voltage differential input signals and translates them to CMOS (TTL compatible) output levels. The receiver supports a TRI-STATE function that may be used to multiplex outputs. The receiver also supports OPEN Failsafe and terminated (100Ω) input Failsafe with the addition of external failsafe biasing. Receiver output will be HIGH for both Failsafe conditions. The DS90C032 provides power-off high impedance LVDS inputs. This feature assures minimal loading effect on the LVDS bus lines when VCC is not present. The DS90C032 and companion line driver (DS90C031) provide a new alternative to high power pseudo-ECL devices for high speed point-to-point interface applications.
