GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The AD8143 is a triple, low cost, differential-to-
single-ended receiver specifically designed for 
receiving red-green-blue (RGB) signals over twisted 
pair cable. It can also be used for receiving any type of 
analog signal or high speed data transmission. Two 
auxiliary comparators are provided to receive digital 
or sync signals. The AD8143 can be used in conjunction 
with the 
AD8133 and AD8134 triple, differential 
drivers to provide a complete low cost solution for 
RGB over Category-5 UTP cable applications, 
including KVM. 
The excellent common-mode rejection (65 dB @ 
10 MHz) of the AD8143 allows for the use of low cost 
unshielded twisted pair cables in noisy environments. 
The AD8143 has a wide power supply range from single +5 V 
supply to ±12 V, which allows for a wide common-mode range. 
The wide common-mode input range of the AD8143 maintains 
signal integrity in systems where the ground potential is a few 
volts different between the drive and receive ends without the 
use of isolation transformers. 
The AD8143 is stable at a gain of 1. Closed-loop gain is easily 
set using external resistors. 
The AD8143 is available in a 5 mm × 5 mm, 32-lead LFCSP and 
is rated to work over the extended industrial temperature range 
of −40°C to +85°C.
