SLLS103O – DECEMBER 1990 – REVISED JUNE 2016
AM26C31 Quadruple Differential Line Driver
1 Features
3 Description
•
The AM26C31 device is a differential line driver with
complementary outputs, designed to meet the
requirements of TIA/EIA-422-B and ITU (formerly
CCITT). The 3-state outputs have high-current
capability for driving balanced lines, such as twistedpair or parallel-wire transmission lines, and they
provide the high-impedance state in the power-off
condition. The enable functions are common to all
four drivers and offer the choice of an active-high (G)
or active-low (G) enable input. BiCMOS circuitry
reduces power consumption without sacrificing
speed.

For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see the Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics application
report.
Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), RθJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable ambient
temperature is PD = (TJ(max) – TA) / RθJA. Operating at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can affect reliability.
The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.
Modelling assumption: MIL-STD-883 for RθJC(top) and RθJC(bot) JESD51 for RθJB.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The AM26C31 is a quadruple differential line driver with complementary outputs. The device is designed to meet
the requirements of TIA/EIA-422-B and ITU (formerly CCITT), and it is generally used to communicate over
relatively long wires in noisy environments.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Active-High and Active-Low
The device can be configured using the G and G logic inputs to select transmitter output. A logic high on the G
pin or a logic low on the G pin enables the device to operate. These pins are simply a way to configure the logic
to match that of the receiving or transmitting controller or microprocessor.
8.3.2 Operates from a Single 5-V Supply
Both the logic and transmitters operate from a single 5-V rail, making designs much more simple. The line drivers
and receivers can operate off the same rail as the host controller or a similar low voltage supply, thus simplifying
power structure.

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, 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. 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. For laboratory experiments,
100 feet of 100-Ω, 24-AWG, twisted-pair cable (Bertek) was used. A single driver and receiver, TI AM26C31C
and AM26C32C, respectively, were tested at room temperature with a 5-V supply voltage. To show voltage
waveforms related to transmission-line reflections, the first plot shows output waveforms from the driver at the
start of the cable (A/B); the second plot shows input waveforms to the receiver at the far end of the cable (Y).

9.2.1 Design Requirements
Resistor and capacitor (if used) termination values are shown for each laboratory experiment, but vary from
system to system. For example, the termination resistor, RT, must be within 20% of the characteristic impedance,
Zo, of the cable and can vary from about 80 Ω to 120 Ω.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
Place 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 propagate into analog circuitry through the power pins of the circuit as a whole, as well as the
operational amplifier. 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 singlesupply 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.
• Consider a driven, low-impedance guard ring around the critical traces. A guard ring can significantly reduce
leakage currents from nearby traces that are at different potentials.
