Broadcom Inc. Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers BRF2A16G-TR

The BRF2A16G-TR is a quad differential receiver designed to accept digital data over balanced transmission lines and convert differential input logic levels to TTL output logic levels. It features four receivers per package with a common enable control and is pin equivalent to the general-trade 26LS32 device, offering improved speed and reduced power consumption. The device supports a maximum data rate of 400 Mbits/s when paired with compatible drivers and has a maximum propagation delay of 4.0 ns. This receiver operates within a common-mode range of -1.2 V to +7.2 V and has an input sensitivity of less than 0.20 V. It is rated for an ambient operating temperature range of -40 ¬8C to +125 ¬8C and requires a single 5.0 V supply. The BRF2A16G-TR includes an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit, enhancing its reliability in environments susceptible to ESD events. The device defaults to a logic high output when inputs are left open, making it suitable for various applications. It is available in a 16-pin SOIC package, which is beneficial for space-constrained designs.
