Hello,

I would like to know if RS422 driver 5V is compatible with 3.3V receiver and vice versa.

(AM26C31 is compatible with AM26LV32C, and AM26LV31C is compatible with AM26C32)

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Thank you Ronald,

But can I have more details please ?

I have to prove it is fully compatible, but in differential mode in I am lost with Voc and Vic values.

Best Regards,

Romain,

VOC is common mode voltage for out (driver) it is the average of Y and Z pin voltages.
VIC is common mode voltage for input (receiver) it is the average of A and B pin voltages.

I suggest using the AM26LV32E over the AM26LV32C.
