Specification
Receiver type
SN75ALS175 quad differential receiver
Configuration
8 channels. Each channel consists of PhaseA input, PhaseB input and Index input;
each input is selectable as single-ended or differential.
Differential:
PhaseA, PhaseB and Index (+) inputs at the user connector are routed to the
(+) inputs of differential receiver.
PhaseA, PhaseB and Index (–) inputs at the user connector are routed to the
(–) inputs of the differential receiver.
Single-ended:
PhaseA, PhaseB and Index (+) inputs at the user connector are routed to the
(+) inputs of the differential receiver.
PhaseA, PhaseB and Index (–) inputs at the user connector are left floating.
The (–) inputs of the differential receiver are routed to the +3 V reference.
Common mode input voltage range
±12 V
Differential input voltage range
±12 V
Input sensitivity
±200 mV
Input hysteresis
50 mV, typ
Input impedance
