DS78C20/DS88C20
Dual CMOS Compatible Differential Line Receiver
DS78C20/DS88C20 Dual CMOS Compatible Differential Line Receiver
May 1998
General Description
The DS78C20 and DS88C20 are high performance, dual differential, CMOS compatible line receivers for both balanced
and unbalanced digital data transmission. The inputs are
compatible with EIA and Federal Standards.
Input specifications meet or exceed those of the popular
DS7820/DS8820 line receiver, and the pinout is identical.
A response pin is provided for controlling sensitivity to input
noise spikes with an external capacitor. Each receiver includes a 180Ω terminating resistor, which may be used optionally on twisted pair lines. The DS78C20 is specified over
a −55˚C to +125˚C operating temperature range, and the
DS88C20 over a 0˚C to +70˚C range.

Note 2: “Absolute Maximum Ratings”are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. Except for “Operating Temperature Range” they
are not meant to imply that the devices should be operated at these limits. The table of “Electrical Characteristics” provides conditions for actual device operation.
Note 3: Unless otherwise specified min/max limits apply across the −55˚C to +125˚C temperature range for the DS78C20 and across the 0˚C to +70˚C range for the
DS88C20. All typical values are for T
Note 4: All currents into device pins shown as positive, out of device pins as negative, all voltages referenced to ground unless otherwise noted. All values shown
as max or min on absolute value basis.
Note 5: Only one output at a time should be shorted.
Note 6: Refer to EIA-RS-422 for exact conditions.

Typical Applications
RS-422/RS-423 Application
DS005798-2
Note 7: (Optional internal termination resistor.)
a) Capacitor in series with internal line termination resistor, terminates the line and saves termination power. Exact value depends on line length.
b) Pin 1 connected to pin 2; terminates the line.
c) Pin 2 open; no internal line termination.
d) Transmission line may be terminated elsewhere or not at all.
Note 8: Optional to control response time.
Note 9: V
4.5V to 15V for the DS78C20. For further information on line drivers and line receivers, refer to applicaton notes AN-22, AN-83 and AN-108.

For signals which require fail-safe or have slow rise and fall times, use R1
and D1 as shown above. Otherwise, the positive input (pin 3 or 11) may be
connected to ground.
