RO (Pin 1): Receiver Output. If the receiver output is en-
abled (RE low) and the part is not in shutdown, RO is high
if (A – B) > V
TH(MAX)
and low if (A – B) < V
TH(MIN)
. RO is
also high if the receiver inputs are open or shorted to-
gether, with or without a termination resistor.
RE (Pin 2): Receiver Output Enabled. A high on this pin
three-states the receiver output (RO) and a low enables it.
DE (Pin 3): Driver Enable Input. DE = high enables the
output of the driver with the driver outputs determined by

PIN FUNCTIONS
UUU
the DI pin. DE = low forces the driver outputs into a high
impedance state. The LTC1484 enters shutdown when
both receiver and driver outputs are disabled (RE is high
and DE is low).
DI (Pin 4): Driver Input. When the driver outputs are
enabled (DE high), DI high takes the A output high and the
B output low. DI low takes the A output low and the B
output high.
GND (Pin 5): Ground.
