Pin Functions
RO (Pin 1): Receiver Output. If the receiver output is en-
abled (RE low), then if A > B by 200mV, RO will be high.
If A < B by 200mV, then RO will be low.
RE (Pin 2): Receiver Output Enable. A low enables the
receiver output, RO. A high input forces the receiver output
into a high impedance state.
DE (Pin 3): Driver Outputs Enable. A high on DE enables
the driver output. A and B, and the chip will function as a
line driver. A low input will force the driver outputs into a
high impedance state and the chip will function as a line
receiver.
DI (Pin 4): Driver Input. If the driver outputs are enabled
(DE high), then a low on DI forces the outputs A low and
B high. A high on DI with the driver outputs enabled will
force A high and B low.
GND (Pin 5): Ground Connection.
A (Pin 6): Driver Output/Receiver Input.
B (Pin 7): Driver Output/Receiver Input.
VCC (Pin 8): Positive Supply; 4.75 < VCC < 5.25.
