•
•
The AM26LV32 device is a BiCMOS, quadruple
differential line receiver with 3-state outputs, which is
designed to be similar to the TIA/EIA-422-B and ITU
Recommendation V.11 receivers with reduced
common-mode voltage range due to reduced supply
voltage.

The device is optimized for balanced bus
transmission at switching rates up to 32 MHz. The
enable function is common to all four receivers and
offers a choice of active-high or active-low inputs.
The 3-state outputs permit connection directly to a
bus-organized system. Each device features high
input impedance, input hysteresis for increased noise
immunity, and input sensitivity of ±200 mV over a
common-mode input voltage range from −0.3 V to
5.5 V. When the inputs are open-circuit, the outputs
are in the high logic state.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The AM26LV32 device is a quadruple differential line receiver that meets the necessary requirements for NSI
TIA/EIA-422-B, TIA/EIA-423-B, and ITU Recommendation V.10 and V.11. This device allows a low-power or lowvoltage MCU to interface with heavy machinery, subsystems, and other devices through long wires of up to
1000 m, giving any design a reliable and easy-to-use connection. As with any RS422 interface, the AM26LV32
works in a differential voltage range, which enables very good signal integrity.

8.3 Feature Description
The device can be configured using the G and G logic inputs to select receiver output. The high voltage or logic
1 on the G pin allows the device to operate on an active-high, and having a low voltage or logic 0 on the G
enables active-low operation. These are simple ways to configure the logic to match that of the receiving or
transmitting controller or microprocessor.

See Application and Implementation section
8.4.1 Fail-Safe Conditions
The AM26LV32 is a quadruple differential line receiver that is designed to function properly when appropriately
connected to active drivers. Applications do not always have ideal situations where all bits are being used, the
receiver inputs are never left floating, and fault conditions do not exist. In actuality, most applications have the
capability to either place the drivers in a high-impedance mode or power down the drivers altogether, and cables
may be purposely (or inadvertently) disconnected, both of which lead to floating receiver inputs. Furthermore,
even though measures are taken to avoid fault conditions like a short between the differential signals, this does
occur. The AM26LV32 device has an internal fail-safe circuitry which prevents the device from putting an
unknown voltage signal at the receiver outputs. In the following three cases, a high-state is produced at the
respective output:
1. Open fail-safe: Unused input pins are left open. Do not tie unused pins to ground or any other voltage.
Internal circuitry places the output in the high state.
2. 100-Ω terminated fail-safe: Disconnected cables, drivers in high-impedance state, or powered-down drivers
does not cause the AM26LV32 to malfunction. The outputs remain in a high state under these conditions.
When the drivers are either turned-off or placed into the high-impedance state, the receiver input may still be
able to pick up noise due to the cable acting as an antenna. To avoid having a large differential voltage being
generated, the use of twisted-pair cable induces the noise as a common-mode signal and is rejected.
3. Shorted fail-safe: Fault conditions that short the differential input pairs together does not cause incorrect data
at the outputs. A differential voltage (VID) of 0 V forces a high state at the outputs. Shorted fail-safe, however,
is not supported across the recommended common-mode input voltage (VIC) range. An unwanted state can
be induced to all outputs when an input is shorted and is biased with a voltage between −0.3 V and +5.5 V.
The shorted fail-safe circuitry functions properly when an input is shorted, but with no external commonmode voltage applied.
8.4.2 Fail-Safe Precautions
The internal fail-safe circuitry was designed such that the input common-mode (VIC) and differential (VID) voltages
must be observed. To ensure the outputs of unused or inactive receivers remain in a high state when the inputs
are open-circuited, shorted, or terminated, extra precaution must be taken on the active signal. In applications
where the drivers are placed in a high-impedance mode or are powered-down, TI recommends that for 1, 2, or 3
active receiver inputs, the low-level input voltage (VIL) must be greater than 0.4 V. As in all data transmission
applications, it is necessary to provide a return ground path between the two remote grounds (driver and receiver
ground references) to avoid ground differences. Table 2 and Figure 9 through Figure 11 are examples of active
input voltages with their respective waveforms and the effect each have on unused or inactive outputs. Note that
the active receivers behave as expected, regardless of the input levels.

In most applications, having a common-mode input close to ground and a differential voltage larger than 2 V is
not customary. Because the common-mode input voltage is typically around 1.5 V, a 2-V VID would result in a VIL
of 0.5 V, thus satisfying the recommended VIL level of greater than 0.4 V.
Figure 13 plots seven different input threshold curves from a variety of production lots and shows how the failsafe circuitry behaves with the input common-mode voltage levels. These input threshold curves are
representative samples of production devices. The curves specifically illustrate a typical range of input threshold
variation. The AM26LV32 is specified with ±200 mV of input sensitivity to account for the variance in input
threshold. Each data point represents the input’s ability to produce a known state at the output for a given VIC
and VID. Applying a differential voltage at or above a certain point on a curve would produce a known state at the

output. Applying a differential voltage less than a certain point on a curve would activate the fail-safe circuit and
the output would be in a high state. For example, inspecting the top input threshold curve reveals that for a VIC
that is approximately 1.6 V, VID yields around 87 mV. Applying 90 mV of differential voltage to this particular
production lot generates a known receiver output voltage. Applying a VID of 80 mV activates the input fail-safe
circuitry and the receiver output is placed in the high state. Texas Instruments specifies the input threshold at
±200 mV, because normal process variations affect this parameter. Note that at common-mode input voltages
around 0.2 V, the input differential voltages are low compared to their respective data points. This phenomenon
points to the fact that the inputs are very sensitive to small differential voltages around 0.2 V VIC. TI recommends
that VIC levels be kept greater than 0.5 V to avoid this increased sensitivity at VIC ≈ 0.2 V. In most applications,
because VIC typically is 1.5 V, the fail-safe circuitry functions properly to provide a high state at the receiver
output.

Figure 18. Alternative Solution to Figure 17
When designing a system using the AM26LV32, the device provides a robust solution where fail-safe and fault
conditions are of concern. The RS422-like inputs accept common-mode input levels from −0.3 V to 5.5 V with a
specified sensitivity of ±200mV. As previously shown, take care with active input levels because this can affect
the outputs of unused or inactive bits. However, most applications meet or exceed the requirements to allow the
device to perform properly.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
When designing a system that uses drivers, receivers, and transceivers that comply with RS422 or RS485,
proper cable termination is essential for highly reliable applications with reduced reflections in the transmission
line. Because RS422 allows only one driver on the bus, if termination is used, it is placed only at the end of the
cable near the last receiver. In general, RS485 requires termination at both ends of the cable. Factors to
consider when determining the type of termination usually are performance requirements of the application and
the ever-present factor, cost. The different types of termination techniques include unterminated lines, parallel
termination, ac termination, and multipoint termination.

Figure 19. Differential Terminated Configuration
9.2.1 Design Requirements
Resistor and capacitor (if used) termination values vary from system to system. The termination resistor, RT,
must be within 20% of the characteristic impedance, ROUT, of the cable and can vary from about 80 Ω to 120 Ω.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Figure 19 shows a configuration with RT as termination. Although reflections are present at the receiver inputs at
a data signaling rate of 200 kbps with no termination, the RS422-compliant receiver reads only the input
differential voltage and produces a clean signal at the output.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
Place 0.1-µF bypass capacitors close to the power-supply pins to reduce errors coupling in from noisy or highimpedance power supplies.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
For best operational performance of the device, use good PCB layout practices including:
• Noise can propagate into analog circuitry through the power pins of the circuit as a whole, as well as the
operational amplifier. Bypass capacitors are used to reduce the coupled noise by providing low impedance
power sources local to the analog circuitry.
• Connect low-ESR, 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitors between each supply pin and ground, placed as close
to the device as possible. A single bypass capacitor from V+ to ground is applicable for single-supply
applications.
• Separate grounding for analog and digital portions of circuitry is one of the simplest and most-effective
methods of noise suppression. One or more layers on multilayer PCBs are usually devoted to ground planes.
A ground plane helps distribute heat and reduces EMI noise pickup. Make sure to physically separate digital
and analog grounds, and pay attention to the flow of the ground current.
• To reduce parasitic coupling, run the input traces as far away from the supply or output traces as possible. If
it is not possible to keep them separate, it is much better to cross the sensitive trace perpendicular as
opposed to in parallel with the noisy trace.
• Place the external components as close to the device as possible. Keeping RF and RG close to the inverting
input minimizes parasitic capacitance.
• Keep the length of input traces as short as possible. Always remember that the input traces are the most
sensitive part of the circuit.
• Consider a driven, low-impedance guard ring around the critical traces. A guard ring can significantly reduce
leakage currents from nearby traces that are at different potentials.
