The AM26LV32E device consists of
quadruple differential line receivers with 3-state outputs. This device is designed
to meet TIA/EIA-422-B and ITU recommendation V.11 drivers with reduced supply
voltage. The device is optimized for balanced bus transmission at switching rates up
to 32 MHz. The 3-state outputs permit connection directly to a bus-organized system.
The AM26LV32E has an internal fail-safe circuitry that prevents the device from
putting an unknown voltage signal at the receiver outputs. In the open fail-safe, a
high state is produced at the respective output. This device is supported for
partial-power-down applications using I off. I off circuitry
disables the outputs, preventing damaging current back-flow through the device when
it is powered down.
