RANSLATION
The data translation capability of the S768DAV series is unique in the industry. It enables translation from
one data format to another and eliminates the need for external translation devices.
The translation is in the physical layer only; it cannot interpret specific protocols or translate commands.
Due to the encoding schemes utilized in Manchester and Biphase, these formats are exempt from
translation. Data translation examples are shown in Table 1.

Determine the data formats required for input and output for both data channels. The data formats may
be the same or different for each channel. The data format can also differ from input to output on the
same data channel.
