Note 2: Measured on |tPLH (Y) - tPHL (Y)| and |tPLH (Z) - tPHL (Z)|.
Note 3: The transceivers are put into shutdown by bringing RE high and DE low. If the inputs are in this state for less than 80ns,
the parts are guaranteed not to enter shutdown. If the inputs are in this state for at least 300ns, the parts are guaranteed to
have entered shutdown. See Low-Power Shutdown Mode section.

will be low.
Receiver Output Enable. RO is enabled when RE is low; RO is high

2 — 3 RE impedance when RE is high. If RE is high and DE is low, the device will
enter a low-power shutdown mode.
Driver Output Enable. The driver outputs are enabled by bringing DE high.
They are high impedance when DE is low. If RE is high and DE is low, the
3 — 4 DE device will enter a low-power shutdown mode. If the driver outputs are
enabled, the parts function as line drivers. While they are high impedance,
they function as line receivers if RE is low.
Driver Input. A low on DI forces output Y low and output Z high. Similarly, a
4 3 5 DI
high on DI forces output Y high and output Z low.
