A quadruple differential line receiver, the MC3486N from Texas Instruments was created to satisfy the demanding specifications of high-speed data transmission protocols like ITU V.11 and RS-422.
The MC3486N's rugged construction and varied features make it an excellent choice for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications that require steady and efficient differential line communication.
Quadruple Line Receivers: Combines four separate differential line receivers into a single package, making it perfect for complicated applications that require many data channels.
RS-422 and V.11 Compatibility: Meets or surpasses ANSI TIA/EIA-422-B and ITU V.11 standards, ensuring stable and reliable communication over extended distances.
Each receiver has a high input impedance of 12kΩ, reducing load on signal lines and improving signal integrity.
Wide Input Voltage Range: Accepts input voltages ranging from -7V to +12V, ensuring good noise immunity and steady operation in electrically loud settings.
TTL-Compatible Outputs: The outputs are TTL-compatible, which makes it easier to interface with existing digital logic circuits.
3-State Outputs: Outputs can be set to a high impedance state, allowing several devices to share the same communication channel without interference.
Fast Transition Times: Designed for high-speed operations and short propagation delays, making it ideal for time-sensitive applications.
