GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DS16033 is a dual differential TRI-STATE line receiver designed for a broad range of system applications. It features a high input impedance and low input current which reduces the loading effects on a digital transmission line, making it ideal for use in party line systems and general purpose applications like transducer preamplifiers, level translators and comparators. The receivers feature a ± 25 mV input sensitivity specified over a ± 3V common mode range. Input protection diodes are incorporated in series with the collectors of the differential stage. These diodes are useful in applications that have multiple VCC+ supplies or VCC+ supplies that are turned off thus avoiding signal clamping. In addition, TTL compatible strobe and control lines are provide for flexibility in the application. FEATURES
