Adequate input differential voltage for open linefault conditions
• Produces too small an input differential voltage in the open-line fault condition
• The internal input bias network is shunted by the terminationresistor
• The internal input bias network is supplemented externally tocompensate for the termination resistor

Recommendations
• We do not recommend using this part below 3Vsupply voltage in applications requiring operationdown -125°C.
• The output rise and fall times, tTLH and tTHL, were wellwithin the SMD max limits of 12ns at 5V±10% and15ns at 3.3V ± 10%.
• The parts though exhibited anomalous behavior at theconditions of 2.8V supply voltage and lowtemperatures.
