DS26C31TMX/NOPB

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The DS26C31TMX/NOPB is a quad line driver integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for RS-422 communication interfaces. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports data rates up to 10 Mbps. The device features four differential drivers with tri-state outputs, housed in a 16-pin SOIC surface-mount package. It functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and draws a typical supply current of 3 mA.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides four independent differential line drivers compliant with EIA-422 standards
• Features tri-state output capability for bus sharing applications
• Operates with low power consumption suitable for battery-powered systems

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• RS-422 serial communication networks
• Industrial control system data transmission
• Multi-drop communication buses

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TMX' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing components. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor datasheets. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pinout and electrical specifications required for the target design.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring multiple differential drivers in a compact surface-mount form factor. Compare against similar devices like the AM26C31 series for pin compatibility. Verify that the 10 Mbps data rate meets the application's speed requirements and that the SOIC-16 package fits the PCB layout constraints.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the DS26C31 family of RS-422 interface ICs from Texas Instruments. It serves as a successor or variant to earlier National Semiconductor designs, maintaining functional compatibility while offering modern manufacturing processes. The NOPB suffix denotes lead-free and RoHS-compliant construction.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The AM26C31ID and AM26C31DR are functionally equivalent alternatives within the same family. Check for pin-to-pin compatibility and identical electrical characteristics before substitution. Verify that any replacement part supports the required tri-state functionality and operating temperature range.
