AM26C31MJB: Quad Differential Line Driver

The AM26C31MJB is a robust, high-speed, quadruple differential line driver designed by Texas Instruments to interface with standard TTL integrated circuits. This device is part of a line of products that are optimized for balanced transmission lines and meet the requirements of TIA/EIA-422-B, TIA/EIA-485-A, and ITU Recommendations V.11 and X.27.

The AM26C31MJB features four high-speed differential line drivers with 3-state outputs, making it suitable for digital communication over long distances and in environments with high electrical noise. The device is capable of delivering exceptional performance with a wide supply voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V, ensuring compatibility with a variety of systems and applications.

This line driver offers a typical propagation delay time of 10ns, allowing for high-speed data transmission, and a typical output skew of 2ns, which ensures that the timing of signals remains consistent across all four channels. The AM26C31MJB is designed to drive balanced lines such as twisted pair cables, offering excellent immunity to noise and ensuring data integrity over long distances.

The device is housed in a durable, military-grade ceramic DIP (Dual In-line Package) that is hermetically sealed, providing enhanced reliability and performance in harsh environments. This makes the AM26C31MJB an ideal choice for critical applications in military, aerospace, and industrial settings where equipment must operate reliably under extreme conditions.

Key features of the AM26C31MJB include:

• Meets or exceeds the requirements of TIA/EIA-422-B and TIA/EIA-485-A
• Operates from a single 5V supply
• Low power consumption
• High-speed operation: 10ns typical propagation delay time
• Output skew: 2ns typical
