DS3487
Quad TRI-STATE

®

Line Driver

General Description

National’s quad RS-422 driver features four independent
drivers which comply with EIA Standards for the electrical
characteristics of balanced voltage digital interface circuits.
The outputs are TRI-STATE structures which are forced to a
high impedance state when the appropriate output control
pin reaches a logic zero condition. All input pins are PNP
buffered to minimize input loading for either logic one or logic
zero inputs.

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 table of “Electrical Characteristics” provides conditions for actual device operation.

Note 4: All currents into device pins are positive, all currents out of device pins as negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise specified.
Note 5: Only one output at a time should be shorted.
Note 6: Symbols and definitions correspond to EIA RS-422, where applicable.
