DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The AM26C32 is a quadruple differential line receiver for balanced or unbalanced digital data transmission. The
enable function is common to all four receivers and offers a choice of active-high or active-low input. The 3-state
outputs permit connection directly to a bus-organized system. Fail-safe design specifies that if the inputs are
open, the outputs always are high.
The AM26C32 devices are manufactured using a BiCMOS process, which is a combination of bipolar and CMOS
transistors. This process provides the high voltage and current of bipolar with the low power of CMOS to reduce
the power consumption to about one-fifth that of the standard AM26LS32, while maintaining ac and dc
performance.
The AM26C32 is characterized for operation over the extended temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.
