NOTE:
3. These input pins incorporate positive feedback resistors. Once the input is driven to a valid logic level, the feedback resistor maintains that logic
level until V
CC
is removed. Unused transmitter inputs may be left unconnected by the user.
CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
NOTE:
6.
θ
JA
is measured with the component mounted on a low effective thermal conductivity test board in free air. See Tech Brief TB379 for details.

NOTES:
7. These inputs utilize a positive feedback resistor. The input current is negligible when the input is at either supply rail.
8. An “edge” is defined as a transition through the transmitter or receiver input thresholds.
