The MC10E/100E116 is a quint differential line receiver with emitter-follower outputs. For applications which require bandwidths greater than that of the E116, the E416 device may be of interest. Active current sources plus a deep collector feature of the MOSAIC III process provide the receivers with excellent common-mode noise rejection. Each receiver has a dedicated VCCO supply lead, providing optimum symmetry and stability. If both inverting and non-inverting inputs are at an equal potential of > -2.5 V, the receiver does not go to a defined state, but rather current-shares in normal differential amplifier fashion, producing output voltage levels midway between HIGH and LOW, or the device may even oscillate.
