AM26LS32ACDR

Texas Instruments · RS-485 / RS-422 ICs · SOIC-16

AM26LS32ACDR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 1B input Receiver 1 differential input (inverting). RS-422/RS-485 input with 12 kΩ (min) impedance and ±7 V common-mode range; ±200 mV differential sensitivity with ~50 mV typical hysteresis.
2 1A input Receiver 1 differential input (noninverting). RS-422/RS-485 input with 12 kΩ (min) impedance and ±7 V common-mode range; ±200 mV differential sensitivity.
3 1Y tri_state Receiver 1 logic-level 3-state output. High when 1A − 1B > +200 mV (or inputs open, fail-safe); high-impedance when disabled by the G/G-bar enables.
4 G input Active-high output enable, common to all four receivers. Outputs 1Y-4Y are enabled when G is high AND G-bar (pin 12) is low; otherwise outputs are high-impedance.
5 2Y tri_state Receiver 2 logic-level 3-state output. High when 2A − 2B > +200 mV (or inputs open); high-impedance when disabled.
6 2A input Receiver 2 differential input (noninverting). RS-422/RS-485 input.
7 2B input Receiver 2 differential input (inverting). RS-422/RS-485 input.
8 GND power_in Device ground reference. Return for VCC and all logic levels.
9 3B input Receiver 3 differential input (inverting). RS-422/RS-485 input.
10 3A input Receiver 3 differential input (noninverting). RS-422/RS-485 input.
11 3Y tri_state Receiver 3 logic-level 3-state output. High when 3A − 3B > +200 mV (or inputs open); high-impedance when disabled.
12 ~G input Active-low output enable (shown with overbar in the datasheet), common to all four receivers. Outputs are enabled when this pin is low AND G (pin 4) is high; otherwise outputs are high-impedance.
13 4Y tri_state Receiver 4 logic-level 3-state output. High when 4A − 4B > +200 mV (or inputs open); high-impedance when disabled.
14 4A input Receiver 4 differential input (noninverting). RS-422/RS-485 input.
15 4B input Receiver 4 differential input (inverting). RS-422/RS-485 input.
16 VCC power_in Single 5-V supply input (recommended 4.75-5.25 V). Bypass locally to GND with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
am26ls32acdr.step 217 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
am26ls32acdr-etched.step 2.9 MB You want the part with AM26LS32ACDR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 716 faces against 267 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (35 pp, sha256 129c945e2b2c2a5c, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
