3 Description
The AM26LS31 family of devices is a quadruple
complementary-output line driver designed to meet
the requirements of ANSI TIA/EIA-422-B and ITU
(formerly CCITT) Recommendation V.11. The 3-state
outputs have high-current capability for driving
balanced lines such as twisted-pair or parallel-wire
transmission lines, and they are in the high-
impedance state in the power-off condition. The
enable function is common to all four drivers and
offers the choice of an active-high or active-low
enable (G, G) input. Low-power Schottky circuitry
reduces power consumption without sacrificing
speed.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The AM26LS31x differential bus transmitter is a monolithic integrated circuit designed for unidirectional data
communication on transmission lines. It is designed for balanced transmission lines and meets ANSI Standard
EIA/TIA-422-B and ITU Recommendation V.11.
The AM26LS31x has a four 3-state differential line drivers that operate from a single 5-V power supply. The
driver also integrates active-high and active-low enables for precise device control.
The driver is designed to handle loads of a minimum of ±30 mA of sink or source current. The driver features
positive- and negative-current limiting for protection from line fault conditions.
8.2 Functional Block Diagram
8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Complementary Output-Enable Inputs
The AM26LS31x can be configured using the G and G logic inputs to control transmitter outputs. Setting either G
to a logic HIGH or G to an logic LOW enables the transmitter outputs. If G is set to logic LOW and G is set to
logic HIGH, the transmitter outputs are disabled. See Table 1 for a complete truth table.
8.3.2 High Output Impedance in Power-Off Conditions
When the AM26LS31x transmitter outputs are disabled using G and G, the outputs are set to a high impedance
state.
8.3.3 Complementary Outputs
The AM26LS31x is the driver half of a pair of devices, with the AM26LS32 being the complementary receiver. TI
recommends using these devices together for optimal performance, but any RS-422 compliant receive must
ensure proper RS-422 communication and logic level translation.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
When designing a system that uses drivers, receivers, and transceivers that comply with RS-422 or RS-485,
proper cable termination is essential for highly reliable applications with reduced reflections in the transmission
line. Because RS-422 allows only one driver on the bus, if termination is used, it is placed only at the end of the
cable near the last receiver. In general, RS-485 requires termination at both ends of the cable. Factors to
consider when determining the type of termination usually are performance requirements of the application and
the ever-present factor, cost. The different types of termination techniques discussed are unterminated lines,
parallel termination, AC termination, and multipoint termination. Laboratory waveforms for each termination
technique (except multipoint termination) illustrate the usefulness and robustness of RS-422 (and, indirectly, RS-
485). Similar results can be obtained if 485-compliant devices and termination techniques are used. For
laboratory experiments, 100 feet of 100-Ω, 24-AWG, twisted-pair cable (Bertek) was used. A single driver and
receiver, TI AM26LS31 and AM26LS32C, respectively, were tested at room temperature with a 5-V supply
voltage. Two plots per termination technique are shown. In each plot, the top waveform is the driver input and the
bottom waveform is the receiver output. To show voltage waveforms related to transmission-line reflections, the
first plot shows output waveforms from the driver at the start of the cable; the second plot shows input waveforms
to the receiver at the far end of the cable.

Typical Application (continued)
9.2.1 Design Requirements
This example requires the following:
• 5-V power source
• RS-485 bus operating at 10 Mbps or less
• Connector that ensures the correct polarity for port pins
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Place the device close to bus connector to keep traces (stub) short to prevent adding reflections to the bus line.
If desired, add external fail-safe biasing to ensure 200 mV on the A-B port, if the drive is in high impedance state
(see Failsafe in RS-485 data buses).

10 Power Supply Recommendations
Place a 0.1-μF bypass capacitors close to the power-supply pins to reduce errors coupling in from noisy or high
impedance power supplies.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
For best operational performance of the device, use good PCB layout practices, including:
• Noise can often propagate into analog circuitry through the power supply of the circuit. Bypass capacitors are
used to reduce the coupled noise by providing low impedance power sources local to the analog circuitry.
– Connect low-ESR, 0.1-μF ceramic bypass capacitors between each supply pin and ground, placed as
close to the device as possible. A single bypass capacitor from V+ to ground is applicable for single-
supply applications.
• Separate grounding for analog and digital portions of circuitry is one of the simplest and most-effective
methods of noise suppression. One or more layers on multilayer PCBs are usually devoted to ground planes.
A ground plane helps distribute heat and reduces EMI noise pickup. Make sure to physically separate digital
and analog grounds, paying attention to the flow of the ground current.
• To reduce parasitic coupling, run the input traces as far away from the supply or output traces as possible. If
it is not possible to keep them separate, it is much better to cross the sensitive trace perpendicular as
opposed to in parallel with the noisy trace.
• Place the external components as close to the device as possible. Keeping RF and RG close to the inverting
input minimizes parasitic capacitance.
• Keep the length of input traces as short as possible. Always remember that the input traces are the most
sensitive part of the circuit.
