Notes: 
1. ∆V
OD
 and ∆V
OC
 are the changes in V

3. The transceivers are put into shutdown by bring  RE  high and DE low. If the input are 
in state for less than 80 ns, the part are guaranteed not to enter shutdown. If the inputs are 
in this state for at least 300 ns, the parts are guaranteed to have entered shutdown.
