General Description

The 396 dual differential line driver/receiver is designed for industrial logic applications requiring high immunity to electrical noise. The 396 has an extremely flexible hysteresis capability, allowing the user to adjust the switching threshold. Thus the 396 is also useful for single-wire input/output applications.
