Description
The ST26C31B is a quad differential line driver
designed for digital data transmission over
balanced lines and meets all the requirements of
EIA standard RS-422 while retaining the low
power characteristics of CMOS.

The ST26C31B accepts TTL or CMOS input
levels and translates these to RS-422 output
levels. This part uses special outputs circuitry
common to all four drivers. All outputs are
protected against damage due to electrostatic
discharge by diode to V
and ground.

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.
2. Unless otherwise specified, all voltage are referenced to ground. All currents into the device pins are positive; all currents
out of the device pins are negative.
