SNLS374D May 1998 – January 2015 DS8921
PRODUCTION DATA.
The DS8921x devices are each a differential line driver and receiver pair in a single package. The devices are designed specifically for ST506, ST412, and ESDI disk drive standards, as well as RS-422 interface applications. The DS8921 and DS8921A are rated at a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, whereas the DS8921AT is rated at an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
The DS8921x devices each contain a differential driver and receiver.
The driver converts a TTL or CMOS input to complementary outputs that provide differential drive to a twisted-pair or parallel wire transmission line. The receiver converts the differential signals at its input pins to a TTL output. The receiver offers an input sensitivity of ±200 mV and supports a common-mode input voltage of ±7 V.
