The low-impedance emitter-follower outputs drive terminated lines such as coaxial cable, strip line, or twisted
pair. Having the outputs uncommitted allows wired-OR logic to be performed in party-line applications. Output
short-circuit protection is provided by an internal clamping network that turns on when the output voltage drops
below approximately 1.5 V. All inputs are in conventional TTL configuration. Gating can be used during power-up
and power-down sequences to ensure that no noise is introduced on the line.
The SN75ALS121 employs the IMPACT process to achieve fast switching speeds, low power dissipation, and
reduced input current requirements.
The SN75ALS121 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
