DS9638
RS-422 Dual High Speed Differential Line Driver
General Description
The DS9638 is a Schottky, TTL compatible, dual differential
line driver designed specifically to meet the EIA Standard
RS-422 specifications. It is designed to provide unipolar dif-
ferential drive to twisted pair or parallel wire transmission
lines. The inputs are TTL compatible. The outputs are similar
to totem pole TTL outputs, with active pull-up and pull-down.
The device features a short circuit protected active pull-up
with low output impedance and is specified to drive 50
transmission lines at high speed. The mini-DIP provides high
package density.

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 tables of "Electrical Characteristics provide conditions for actual device operation.
Note 3: Unless otherwise specified min/max limits apply across the -55C to +125C temperature range for the DS9638M and across the 0C to +70C range for
the DS9638C. All typicals are given for V

Note 4: All currents into the device pins are positive; all currents out of the device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise specified.
Note 5: Only one output at a time should be shorted.
