DS26S10CN

Overview

The DS26S10CN is a quad differential line receiver manufactured by National Semiconductor, now part of Texas Instruments. It is designed for high-speed serial communication applications requiring robust signal integrity over long distances. The device features four independent receivers capable of operating with differential signaling standards. It is housed in a standard plastic DIP-16 package, suitable for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. The component supports operation within a specified temperature range and provides reliable data recovery from noisy transmission lines.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent differential receivers for parallel data processing
• Designed to recover data signals from high-speed serial transmission lines
• Utilizes differential input architecture to reject common-mode noise effectively

Applications

• High-speed serial communication interfaces
• Data acquisition systems requiring differential signal reception
• Industrial control networks utilizing RS-422 or similar differential standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as National Semiconductor was acquired by Texas Instruments. Ensure the specific suffix 'CN' corresponds to the desired commercial grade and plastic DIP-16 packaging. Confirm that the component meets current environmental compliance requirements for your region before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad differential receiver topology is required for interfacing with high-speed serial buses. Consider the DIP-16 package constraints if board space allows for through-hole technology. Evaluate the electrical characteristics against the specific voltage levels and noise immunity requirements of the target application environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the DS26 series of interface ICs originally developed by National Semiconductor. These devices are widely recognized for their role in enabling reliable differential communication in industrial and commercial electronics. The transition to Texas Instruments has maintained the legacy specifications while updating manufacturing processes and support channels.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the DS26LS32MJ and DS26F32M from the same product family. Other compatible options may include the MC3450 or HS-26C32RH depending on specific radiation hardening or performance needs.
