Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | unconnected | No connect. |
| 2 | R | output | Receiver output; the receiver output is held in a high state when the receiver inputs are left unconnected (fail-safe). |
| 3 | RE | input | Receiver output enable, active LOW; a logic high on RE tri-states the receiver. |
| 4 | DE | input | Driver output enable, active HIGH; a logic low on DE tri-states the driver outputs. |
| 5 | D | input | Driver input; input high voltage is 2.0V minimum and input low voltage is 0.8V maximum. |
| 6 | GND | power_in | Ground connection. |
| 7 | GND | power_in | Ground connection. |
| 8 | NC | unconnected | No connect. |
| 9 | Y | output | Non-inverting driver output; with 54Ω across the differential outputs the driver maintains greater than 1.5V levels. |
| 10 | Z | output | Inverting driver output; with 54Ω across the differential outputs the driver maintains greater than 1.5V levels. |
| 11 | B | input | Inverting receiver input; receiver sensitivity is ±200mV over a common-mode range of -7V to 12V. |
| 12 | A | input | Non-inverting receiver input; receiver sensitivity is ±200mV over a common-mode range of -7V to 12V. |
| 13 | NC | unconnected | No connect. |
