HIGH SPEED +3.3V QUAD RS-422 DIFFERENTIAL LINE DRIVER
JUNE 2011
REV. 1.1.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SP26LV431 is a quad differential line driver that meets the specifications of the EIA standard RS-422 serial protocol. The SP26LV431 features Exar's BiCMOS process allowing low power operational characteristics of CMOS technology while meeting all of the demands of the RS-422 serial protocol over 60Mbps under load. The RS-422 protocol allows up to 10 receivers to be connected to a multipoint bus transmission line. The SP26LV431 features a driver enable control common to all four drivers that places the output pins in a high impedance state.
