AM26C32QD

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The AM26C32QD is a quad differential line receiver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for RS-422 interface applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with a typical operating voltage of 5 V. The device supports data rates up to 10 Mb/s and draws a maximum operating supply current of 15 mA. It features four independent receivers housed in a 16-pin SOIC-Narrow package. The component is rated for an extended industrial temperature range, functioning reliably from -40°C to +125°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed data transmission up to 10 Mb/s
• Operates within standard 5 V logic supply requirements
• Rated for extended industrial temperature environments

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• RS-422 communication bus systems
• Industrial control network interfaces
• Data acquisition system input stages

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix QD confirms the SOIC-Narrow 16-pin package and industrial temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the official datasheet or manufacturer notification. Check for Product Discontinuance Notifications (PCN) as this family may have end-of-life implications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package style and temperature range before purchase.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select the AM26C32QD when a quad receiver configuration is required for RS-422 networks. Compare against the AM26C32CD for identical electrical performance but different packaging options. Consider the AM26LV32 series if lower voltage operation or higher speed is needed. Verify that the 15 mA supply current fits the power budget constraints of the target application design.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the AM26C32 family of quadruple differential line receivers. It serves as a core interface element for converting differential signals to single-ended logic levels. The QD suffix specifically denotes the surface-mount SOIC-Narrow package variant. It complements driver components like the AM26C31 to form complete bidirectional communication links.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The AM26C32CD is a direct functional equivalent offering the same electrical specifications in a similar SOIC-16 package format. Designers requiring through-hole mounting should consider the AM26C32CN variant instead.
