AM26C32: Question about VID, VIT+, VIT- definition and Function Table

Part Number: AM26C32

Hi Team,

 

I would like to confirm about below basic things related to Table 1, could you answer those?

 

 (1) May I think VID definition as below?

VID = “Input voltage on A” – “Input voltage on B”

 

(2) DIFFERENTIAL INPUT in Table 1, VID >= VIT+

VIT+ is defined as 200mV as max (with VIC=-7V to 7V).

IF G=H, and VID (in above definition) > 200mV, will OUTPUT be H?

 

(3) DIFFERENTIAL INPUT in Table 1, VIT < VID < VID+

Regardless G or nG setting, if VID is between VIT- and VID+, will the OUTPUT undefined?

 

Best regards,

  • Hi Nobuo-san,

    (1) VID = “Input voltage on A” – “Input voltage on B”
    Yes, this is the correct definition: VID = VA - VB

    (2) IF G=H, and VID (in above definition) > 200mV, will OUTPUT be H?
    Yes. When the device is enabled (G=H or nG=L) and the input differential is above the defined threshold (VID ≥ VTH+), the output will be high (Y=H).

    (3) Regardless G or nG setting, if VID is between VIT- and VID+, will the OUTPUT undefined?
    When the device is enabled (G=H or nG=L) and the input differential is between defined thresholds (VTH- ≤ VID ≤ VTH+), the output is undefined (Y=?). If the device is disabled (G=L and nG=H) and the same conditions appear on the input differential (VTH- ≤ VID ≤ VTH+), the output will be high-z (Y=Z). This is because in this enable state (G=L and nG=H) the input differential is a don't-care (x). 

    I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Regards,
