DS26F31M
Quad High Speed Differential Line Drivers
General Description
The DS26F31 is a quad differential line driver designed for
digital data transmission over balanced lines. The DS26F31
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 DS26F31 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
DS26F31 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
puts and logical OR-ed complementary enable inputs. The
inputs 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 DS26F31M and across the O˚C to +70˚C range for
the DS26F31C. All typicals are given for V
Note 4: All currents into the device pins are positive; all currents outof the device pins are negative.All voltagesare referenced to ground unless otherwise specified.
Note 5: Only one output at a time should be shorted.
Note 6: C
Note 7: Skew is defined as the difference in propagation delays between complementary outputs at the 50%point.
