DS26F31MQML
Quad High Speed Differential Line Drivers
The DS26F31M offers optimum performance when used
with the DS26F32 Quad Differential Line Receiver.
General Description
The DS26F31M is a quad differential line driver designed for
digital data transmission over balanced lines. The
DS26F31M 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.
Features
n Operation from single +5.0V supply
n Outputs won’t load line when VCC = 0V
n Output short circuit protection
n Meets the requirements of EIA standard RS-422
n High output drive capability for 100Ω terminated
transmission lines
The DS26F31M offers improved performance due to the use
of state-of-the-art L-FAST bipolar technology. The L-FAST
technology allows for higher speeds and lower currents by
utilizing extremely short gate delay times. Thus, the
DS26F31M features lower power, extended temperature
range, and improved specifications.
The circuit provides an enable and disable function common
to all four drivers. The DS26F31M features TRI-STATE®
outputs and logical OR-ed complementary enable inputs.
The inputs are all LS compatible and are all one unit load.
