DS78C120/DS88C120 Dual CMOS Compatible
Differential Line Receiver
General Description
Features
Y
Full compatibility with EIA Standards RS232-C, RS422
and RS423, Federal Standards 1020, 1030 and MIL-
188-114
The DS78C120 and DS88C120 are high performance, dual
differential, CMOS compatible line receivers for both bal-
anced and unbalanced digital data transmission. The inputs
are compatible with EIA, Federal and MIL standards.

Circuit features include hysteresis and response control for
applications where controlled rise and fall times and/or high
frequency noise rejection are desirable. Threshold offset
control is provided for fail-safe detection, should the input
be open or short. Each receiver includes a 180X terminating
resistor and the output gate contains a logic strobe for time
