description
The MC3487 offers four independent differential line drivers designed to meet the specifications of ANSI
EIA/TIA-422-B and ITU Recommendation V.11. Each driver has a TTL-compatible input buffered to reduce
current and minimize loading.
The driver outputs utilize 3-state circuitry to provide high-impedance states at any pair of differential outputs
when the appropriate output enable is at a low logic level. Internal circuitry is provided to ensure a
high-impedance state at the differential outputs during power-up and power-down transition times provided the
output enable is low. The outputs are capable of source or sink currents of 48 mA.
The MC3487 is designed for optimum performance when used with the MC3486 quadruple line receiver. It is
supplied in a 16-pin dual-in-line package and operates from a single 5-V supply.
The MC3487 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTE 1: All voltage values, except differential output voltage, VOD, are with respect to the network ground terminal.
