DS34C87T
CMOS Quad TRISTATE Differential Line Driver
General Description
The DS34C87T is a quad differential line driver designed for
digital
data
transmission
over
balanced
lines.
The
DS34C87T meets all the requirements of EIA standard
RS-422 while retaining the low power characteristics of
CMOS. This enables the construction of serial and terminal
interfaces while maintaining minimal power consumption.
The DS34C87T accepts TTL or CMOS input levels and
translates these to RS-422 output levels. This part uses spe-
cial output circuitry that enables the individual drivers to
power down without loading down the bus. This device has
separate enable circuitry for each pair of the four drivers.
The DS34C87T is pin compatible to the DS3487T.
All inputs are protected against damage due to electrostatic
discharge by diodes to V
CC
and ground.

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 25C. Above this temperature derate N Package 13.89 mW/C, and M Package 9.80 mW/C.
Note 4: Unless otherwise specified, min/max limits apply across the -40C to 85C temperature range. All typicals are given for V
CC
= 5V and T
A
= 25C.
Note 5: See EIA Specification RS-422 for exact test conditions.
Note 6: Measured per input. All other inputs at V
CC
or GND.
Note 7: This is the current sourced when a high output is shorted to ground. Only one output at a time should be shorted.

Note 8: Skew is defined as the difference in propagation delays between complementary outputs at the 50% point.
Note 9: Output disable time is the delay from the control input 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.
