Receiver Behavior when Driver Enable is Pulled High

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: ADM3075E

Hello,

The ADM3075E datasheet describes the transmitting behavior when the Driver Enable (DE) input is pulled high and the receiving behavior when both DE and not Receiver Enable (nRE) are low. However I miss any statement on what happens on receiver side when the DE signal is high and the nRE is low, technically enabling both the transmitter and the receiver at the same time. Would the chip then technically act in loop back mode or does the receiver gets automatically deactivated as soon as DE is pulled high as maybe hinted at by the transmitter state table?

Thanks and Best Regards,

Tojan

  • Hi Tojan,

    Thank you for your question. Both transmitter and receiver will be on when DE = 1 and /RE\= 0. You are right the receiver echoes the transmitter signal when DE =1 and /RE\= 0. It is typical to list the transmitter and receiver truth tables separately since they work independently. “X” (don’t care) is used for either “1” or “0” to simplify combinations in a truth table. Both Tabel 8 and Table 9 cover the combination DE = 1 and /RE\ =0.

    Best,
