DS78LS120
Dual Differential Line Receiver (Noise Filtering and
Fail-Safe)
General Description
The DS78LS120 is a high performance, dual differential,TTL
compatible line receiver for both balanced and unbalanced
digital data transmission. The inputs are compatible with
EIA, Federal and MIL standards.
The line receiver will discriminate a
over a common-mode range of
over a range of
Circuit features include hysteresis and response control for
applications where controlled rise and fall times and/or high
frequency noise rejection are desirable. Threshold offset
control is provided for fail-safe detection, should the input be
open or short. Each receiver includes an optional 180Ω terminating resistor and the output gate contains a logic strobe
for time discrimination. The DS78LS120 is specified over a
−55˚C to +125˚C temperature range.

Note 1: Derate cavity package 9.6 mW/˚C above 25˚C.
Note 2: “Absolute Maximum Ratings”are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. Except for “Operating TemperatureRange” 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 DS78LS120. All typical values are for T
=
5V and V
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-RS422 for exact conditions.
