Voltage temperature compensated hysteresis type line receiver circuit.

摘要

A line receiver circuit having an input hysteresis characteristic which is compensated for both temperature changes and variations in supply voltage includes a receiver circuit portion, a bandgap circuit portion, a first voltage divider network, a second voltage divider network, and a feedback switching transistor. The receiver circuit portion is responsive to an input logic signal for generating an output signal. The bandgap circuit portion generates a constant reference voltage. The first and second voltage divider networks are operatively connected to the constant reference voltage. The switching transistor is responsive to the output signal for switching between the first voltage divider network generating a high threshold voltage when the input logic signal is in the low level state and the second voltage divider network generating a low threshold voltage when the input logic signal is in the high level state.
