DS26LS31C/DS26LS31M
Quad High Speed Differential Line Driver
General Description
The DS26LS31 is a quad differential line driver designed for
digital
data
transmission
over
balanced
lines.
The
DS26LS31 meets all the requirements of EIA Standard
RS-422 and Federal Standard 1020. It is designed to provide
unipolar differential drive to twisted-pair or parallel-wire
transmission lines.
The circuit provides an enable and disable function common
to all four drivers. The DS26LS31 features TRI-STATE
®
out-
puts and logically ANDed complementary outputs. The in-
puts are all LS compatible and are all one unit load.

Note 2: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the devices
should be operated at these limits. The tables of “Electrical Characteristics” provide conditions for actual device operation.
Note 3: Unless otherwise specified min/max limits apply across the −55˚C to +125˚C temperature range for the DS726LS31M and across the 0˚C to +70˚C range
for the DS26LS31. All typicals are given for V
CC
= 5V and T
A
= 25˚C.
Note 4: All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise specified.
Note 5: Only one output at a time should be shorted.
