This is a receiver-only device — it handles the receive side of a half-duplex or full-duplex link, paired with a separate driver such as the AM26LV31.
Supply voltage and temperature grade — fit for industrial 3.3V buses
Rated for 3V to 3.6V, this receiver is optimized for 3.3V RS422/RS485 buses. That 3V minimum ensures operation through a regulated 3.3V rail with typical tolerance, and the 3.6V ceiling covers the upper end of a 3.3V supply.
Packaging and ordering code — the 'NSR' suffix matters
The 'NSR' suffix on AM26LV32INSR specifies the tape-and-reel (TR) and cut-tape (CT) packaging options for the 16-SOIC (5.30 mm body width) package. If your pick-and-place line is set up for 16-SO wide, this is the correct reel variant. The base product number is AM26LV32; the 'I' denotes the industrial temperature range, and 'NSR' is the package and reel code. For small prototype quantities the cut-tape option is available, while production runs order the full reel.
