description/ordering information (continued)
These drivers feature independent channels with common voltage supply and ground terminals. The significant
difference between the three drivers is in the output-current specification. The driver circuits feature a constant
output current that is switched to either of two output terminals by the appropriate logic levels at the input
terminals. The output current can be switched off (inhibited) by low logic levels on the enable inputs. The output
current nominally is 12 mA for the ’110A devices and is 27 mA for the SN75112.
The enable/inhibit feature is provided so the circuits can be used in party-line or data-bus applications. A strobe
or inhibitor (enable D), common to both drivers, is included for increased driver-logic versatility. The output
current in the inhibited mode, I
O(off)
, is specified so that minimum line loading is induced when the driver is used
in a party-line system with other drivers. The output impedance of the driver in the inhibited mode is very high.
The output impedance of a transistor is biased to cutoff.
The driver outputs have a common-mode voltage range of −3 V to 10 V, allowing common-mode voltage on the
line without affecting driver performance.
All inputs are diode clamped and are designed to satisfy TTL-system requirements. The inputs are tested at
2 V for high-logic-level input conditions and 0.8 V for low-logic-level input conditions. These tests ensure
400-mV noise margin when interfaced with TTL Series 54/74 devices.
The SN55110A is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of −55°C to 125°C. The
SN75110A and SN75112 are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

When using only one channel of the line drivers,

its outputs grounded.
