Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | RO | output | Receiver Output: if the receiver is enabled and (A-B) ≥ -50mV, RO is high; if (A-B) ≤ -200mV, RO is low. |
| 2 | RE | input | Receiver Output Enable: pull RE low to enable RO. |
| 3 | DE | input | Driver Output Enable: pull DE low to enable the outputs and force DE high to three-state the outputs; the datasheet pin table also says to drive RE and DE high to enter low-power shutdown mode. |
| 4 | DI | input | Driver Input: a logic-low on DI forces the noninverting output low and the inverting output high, and a logic-high on DI forces the noninverting output high and the inverting output low. |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Ground. |
| 6 | A | bidirectional | Noninverting receiver input / driver output; protected to ±60V fault voltage (terminate with 54Ω or 100Ω to guarantee protection) and ±15kV HBM ESD. |
| 7 | B | bidirectional | Inverting receiver input / driver output; protected to ±60V fault voltage (terminate with 54Ω or 100Ω to guarantee protection) and ±15kV HBM ESD. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply, VCC = +4.75V to +5.25V. |
