3 Description
The AM26C32 device is a quadruple differential
line receiver for balanced or unbalanced digital
data transmission. The enable function is common
to all four receivers and offers a choice of activehigh
or active-low input. The 3-state outputs permit
connection directly to a bus-organized system. Failsafe
design specifies that if the inputs are open,
the outputs always are high. The AM26C32 devices
are manufactured using a BiCMOS process, which
is a combination of bipolar and CMOS transistors.
This process provides the high voltage and current
of bipolar with the low power of CMOS to reduce
the power consumption to about one-fifth that of the
standard AM26LS32, while maintaining AC and DC
performance.
