DS26LS31C/DS26LS31M
Quad High Speed Differential Line Driver
General Description
The DS26LS31 is a quad differential line driver designed for
digital data transmission over balanced lines. The
DS26LS31 meets all the requirements of EIA Standard RS-
422 and Federal Standard 1020. It is designed to provide
unipolar differential drive to twisted-pair or parallel-wire
transmission lines.
The circuit provides an enable and disable function common
to all four drivers. The DS26LS31 features TRI-STATE ®
outputs and logically ANDed complementary outputs. The
inputs are all LS compatible and are all one unit load.
Features
nOutput skew — 2.0 ns typical
nInput to output delay — 10 ns typical
nOperation from single 5V supply
nOutputs won’t load line when V
CC
=0V
nFour line drivers in one package for maximum package
density
nOutput short-circuit protection
nComplementary outputs
nMeets the requirements of EIA Standard RS-422
nPin compatible with AM26LS31
nAvailable in military and commercial temperature range

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 −55˚C to +125˚C temperature range for the DS726LS31M and across the 0˚C to +70˚C range
for the DS26LS31. All typicals are given for V CC = 5V and TA= 25˚C.
Note 4: All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise specified.
Note 5: Only one output at a time should be shorted.

whose failure to perform when properly used in
accordance with instructions for use provided in the
labeling, can be reasonably expected to result in a
significant injury to the user.
2. A critical component is any component of a life
support device or system whose failure to perform
can be reasonably expected to cause the failure of
the life support device or system, or to affect its
safety or effectiveness.
