FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The DS3691 is a low power Schottky TTL line driver
designed to meet the requirements of EIA standards
RS-422 and RS-423. It features 4 buffered outputs
with high source and sink current capability with
internal short circuit protection. A mode control input
provides a choice of operation either as 4 single-
ended line drivers or 2 differential line drivers. A rise
time control pin allows the use of an external
capacitor to slow the rise time for suppression of near
end crosstalk to other receivers in the cable. Rise
time capacitors are primarily intended for
waveshaping output signals in the single-ended driver
mode. Multipoint applications in differential mode with
waveshaping capacitors is not allowed.

With the mode select pin low, the DS3691 are dual-
differential line drivers with TRI-STATE outputs. They
feature ±10V output common-mode range in TRI-
STATE mode and 0V output unbalance when
operated with ±5V supply.

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
