AM26LS31CDR

AM26LS31CDR is the tape-and-reel SOIC-16 ordering code for the Texas Instruments AM26LS31 quad differential line driver, listed by TI as Active. It runs from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply, accepts standard logic-level inputs (2 V minimum high level, 0.8 V maximum low level), and drives single-ended output levels of 2.5 V minimum high (VOH, sourcing 20 mA) and 0.5 V maximum low (VOL, sinking 20 mA), with 14 ns typical (20 ns maximum) propagation delay. Note the temperature evidence in the current datasheet: Rev. N rates this C grade over -40 °C to +85 °C, superseding the 0 °C to 70 °C range shown in older revisions, so qualification paperwork should cite Rev. N. The selection point is a matched quad driver for RS-422 transmit paths: four drivers in one package feed multi-axis motion, CNC and factory-automation links from a single 5 V rail. Selection advice: pair with the AM26LS32ACDR quad receiver (also listed) at the receiving end of each link, and quote the full R reel code, which is the production packing form in the current ordering appendix. Parameters verified against the TI datasheet SLLS114 Rev. N (ordering appendix and electrical tables).
