The 'ABT16657 contain two noninverting octal transceiver sectionswith separate parity generator/checker circuits and control signals.For either section, the transmit/receive (1T/R\ or 2T/R\) inputdetermines the direction of data flow. When 1T/R\ (or 2T/R\) is high,data flows from the 1A (or 2A) port to the 1B (or 2B) port (transmitmode); when 1T/R\ (or 2T/R\) is low, data flows from the 1B (or 2B)port to the 1A (or 2A) port (receive mode). When the output-enable(1

Odd or even parity is selected by a logic high or low level,respectively, on the 1ODD
(or2ODD
) input.1PARITY (or 2PARITY) carries the parity bit value; it is an outputfrom the parity generator/checker in the transmit mode and an inputto the parity generator/checker in the receive mode.
In the transmit mode, after the 1A (or 2A) bus is polled todetermine the number of high bits, 1PARITY (or 2PARITY) is set to thelogic level that maintains the parity sense selected by the level atthe 1ODD
(or 2ODD
In the receive mode, after the 1B (or 2B) bus is polled todetermine the number of high bits, the 1
ishigh (odd parity selected), 1PARITY is high, and there are three highbits on the 1B bus, then 1
islow, indicating a parity error.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down,
should be tiedto VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of theresistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of thedriver.
The SN54ABT16657 is characterized for operation over the fullmilitary temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. TheSN74ABT16657 is characterized for operation from -40°C to85°C.
