description
The AM26LV31C and AM26LV31I are BiCMOS quadruple differential line drivers with 3-state outputs. They are
designed to be similar to TIA/EIA-422-B and ITU Recommendation V.11 drivers with reduced supply-voltage
range.
The devices are optimized for balanced-bus transmission at switching rates up to 32 MHz. The outputs have
very high current capability for driving balanced lines such as twisted-pair transmission lines and provide a high
impedance in the power-off condition. The enable function is common to all four drivers and offers the choice
of active-high or active-low enable inputs. The AM26LV31C and AM26LV31I are designed using
Texas Instruments proprietary LinIMPACT-C60
technology, facilitating ultra-low power consumption without
sacrificing speed. These devices offer optimum performance when used with the AM26LV32 quadruple line
receivers.
The AM26LV31C is characterized for operation from 0
C to 70
C. The AM26LV31I is characterized for operation
from 45
C to 85
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.
NOTES:
1. All voltage values are with respect to GND.
2. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.
