The MC3486 is a monolithic quadruple
differential line receiver designed to meet the specifications of ANSI Standards
TIA/EIA-422-B and TIA/EIA-423-B and ITU Recommendations V.10 and V.11. The MC3486
offers four independent differential-input line receivers that have TTL-compatible
outputs. The outputs utilize 3-state circuitry to provide a high-impedance state at
any output when the appropriate output enable is at a low logic level.The MC3486 is designed for optimum
performance when used with the MC3487 quadruple differential line driver. It is
supplied in a 16-pin package and operates from a single 5-V supply.The MC3486 is characterized for
operation from 0°C to 70°C.
