Available in four package types
Lower power requirement than the 41 Series
The BRF1A device is the generic receiver in this
family and requires the user to supply external
resistors on the circuit board for impedance
matching.
The BRF2A is identical to the BRF1A, but has an
electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit
added to significantly improve the ESD human-body
model (HBM) characteristics on the differential input
terminals.
The BRS2B is identical to the BRF2A, but has a
preferred state feature that places the output in the
high state when the inputs are open, shorted to
ground, or shorted to the power supply.
The BRR1A is equivalent to the BRF1A, but has a
110
Ω
resistor connected across the differential
inputs. This eliminates the need for an external
resistor when terminating a 100
Ω
impedance line.
This device is designed to work with the DP1A or
PNPA in point-to-point applications.
The BRT1A is equivalent to the BRF1A; however, it
is provided with a Y-type resistor network across the
differential inputs and terminated to ground. The
Y-type termination provides the best EMI results.
This device is not recommended for applications
where the differences in ground voltage between the
driver and the receiver exceed 1 V. This device is
designed to work with the DG1A or PNGA in point-to-
point applications.
The powerdown loading characteristics of the
receiver input circuit are approximately 8 kΩ relative
to the power supplies; hence, they will not load the
transmission line when the circuit is powered down.
For those circuits with termination resistors, the line
will remain impedance matched when the circuit is
powered down.
The packaging options that are available for these
quad differential line drivers include a 16-pin DIP; a
16-pin, J-lead SOJ; a 16-pin, gull-wing small-outline
integrated circuit (SOIC); and a 16-pin, narrow-body,
gull-wing SOIC.

Description
These quad differential receivers accept digital data
over balanced transmission lines. They translate
differential input logic levels to TTL output logic
levels. All devices in this family have four receivers
with a common enable control. These receivers are
pin equivalent to the general-trade 26LS32, but offer
increased speed and decreased power consumption.
They replace the Agere 41 Series receivers.
* This feature is available on BRF1A and BRF2A.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are
absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in
excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

1. The input levels and difference voltage provide zero noise immunity and should be tested only in a static, noise-free environment.
2. Outputs of unused receivers assume a logic 1 level when the inputs are left open. (It is recommended that all unused positive inputs
be tied to the positive power supply. No external series resistor is required.)
3. Test must be performed one lead at a time to prevent damage to the device.
4. See Figure 2.
