tant is formed by an internal 100kΩ
resistor.The text above describes the case
when only one channel is open at a time
and there is a distinctive pause between
signals at receiver and transmitter channel
inputs so the circuit will have time to reach
its idle state. See fig.12 A) to E). If one of
the channels gets an input signal
immediately after the signal has
disappeared from the other channel input
the effective decay time, as the CMP input
sees it, will be shorter than in the first case.
