Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 NC unconnected No connect; not internally bonded, can be connected to Vcc without harm.
2 R output Receiver output; tri-stated when REB is HIGH.
3 REB input Receiver output enable, active LOW; logic LOW enables the receiver and logic HIGH tri-states it.

5 D input Driver input.
6 GND power_in Ground connection.
7 GND power_in Ground connection.
8 NC unconnected No connect; not internally bonded, can be connected to Vcc without harm.
9 Y tri_state Non-inverting driver output, tri-stated when DE is LOW.
10 Z tri_state Inverting driver output, tri-stated when DE is LOW.
11 B input Inverting receiver input with -7V to 12V common-mode range.
12 A input Non-inverting receiver input with -7V to 12V common-mode range.
