DS26C31T/DS26C31M CMOS Quad TRI-STATE Differential Line Driver
June 1998
General Description
The DS26C31 is a quad differential line driver designed for
digital data transmission over balanced lines. The
DS26C31T meets all the requirements of EIA standard RS422 while retaining the low power characteristics of CMOS.
The DS26C31M is compatible with EIA standard RS-422;
however, one exception in test methodology is taken (Note
8). This enables the construction of serial and terminal interfaces while maintaining minimal power consumption.
The DS26C31 accepts TTL or CMOS input levels and translates these to RS-422 output levels. This part uses special
output circuitry that enables the drivers to power down without loading down the bus. This device has enable and disable circuitry common to all four drivers. The DS26C31 is pin
compatible to the AM26LS31 and the DS26LS31.
All inputs are protected against damage due to electrostatic
discharge by diodes to V
and ground.

DC Electrical Characteristics (Continued)
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the device
should be operated at these limits. The table of “Electrical Characteristics” provide conditions for actual device operation.
Note 2: Unless otherwise specified, all voltages are referenced to ground. All currents into device pins are positive, all currents out of device pins are negative.
Note 3: Ratings apply to ambient temperature at 25˚C. Above this temperature derate N package at 13.89 mW/˚C, J package 16.13 mW/˚C, M package
9.80 mW/˚C, E package 12.20 mW/˚C, and W package 6.75 mW/˚C.
Note 4: Unless otherwise specified, min/max limits apply across the recommended operating temperature range.All typicals are given for V
Note 5: See EIA Specification RS-422 for exact test conditions.
Note 6: Measured per input. All other inputs at V
Note 7: This is the current sourced when a high output is shorted to ground. Only one output at a time should be shorted.

between +6V and 0V while RS-422A condition is +6V and −0.25V.
Note 9: Skew is defined as the difference in propagation delays between complementary outputs at the 50% point.
Note 10: Output disable time is the delay from ENABLE or ENABLE being switched to the output transistors turning off. The actual disable times are less than
indicated due to the delay added by the RC time constant of the load.
