The ST26C32AB is a quad differential line
receiver designed to meet the RS-422, RS-423
standards for balanced and unbalanced digital
data transmission, while retaining the low power
characteristics of CMOS.

The ST26C32AB has an input sensitivity of 200
mV over the common mode input voltage range of
± 7 V. The ST26C32AB features internal pull-up
and pull-down resistors which prevent output
oscillation on unused channels. The ST26C32AB
provides an enable and disable function to all four
receivers and features 3-state output with 6 mA
source and sink capability.

1. Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not
meant to imply that the device should be operated at these limits. The table of electrical characteristics provide conditions
for actual device operation.
2. Unless otherwise specified, all voltage are referenced to ground. All currents into the device pins are positive; all currents
out of the device pins are negative.

In order to meet environmental requirements, ST offers these devices in ECOPACK®
packages. These packages have a lead-free second level interconnect. The category of
second level interconnect is marked on the package and on the inner box label, in
compliance with JEDEC Standard JESD97. The maximum ratings related to soldering
conditions are also marked on the inner box label. ECOPACK is an ST trademark.
ECOPACK specifications are available at: www.st.com
