AM26LV31IDR

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

AM26LV31IDR 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 1A input Driver 1 single-ended logic input. Accepts 3.3V CMOS (and 5V-tolerant) logic levels; VIH ≥ 2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V.
2 1Y output Driver 1 non-inverting differential output. Balanced-bus line driver capable of ±30 mA drive into a 100Ω differential load; 3-state controlled by enables G/G-bar.
3 1Z output Driver 1 inverted differential output. Complement of 1Y; forms the differential pair for channel 1. 3-state, ±30 mA drive.
4 G input Active-high enable common to all four drivers. When G=H and G-bar=L, all outputs are enabled; otherwise outputs are high-impedance.
5 2Z output Driver 2 inverted differential output. 3-state; ±30 mA drive into 100Ω load.
6 2Y output Driver 2 non-inverting differential output. 3-state; ±30 mA drive into 100Ω load.
7 2A input Driver 2 single-ended logic input. 3.3V CMOS / 5V-tolerant.
8 GND power_in Device ground reference. All voltages are with respect to this pin.
9 3A input Driver 3 single-ended logic input. 3.3V CMOS / 5V-tolerant.
10 3Y output Driver 3 non-inverting differential output. 3-state; ±30 mA drive into 100Ω load.
11 3Z output Driver 3 inverted differential output. 3-state; ±30 mA drive into 100Ω load.
12 G_N input Active-low enable (G-bar) common to all four drivers. When G-bar=L and G=H all outputs are enabled; otherwise all outputs are high-impedance.
13 4Z output Driver 4 inverted differential output. 3-state; ±30 mA drive into 100Ω load.
14 4Y output Driver 4 non-inverting differential output. 3-state; ±30 mA drive into 100Ω load.
15 4A input Driver 4 single-ended logic input. 3.3V CMOS / 5V-tolerant.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage input. Recommended operating range 3.0V to 3.6V (3.3V nominal). Bypass close to the pin to GND.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
am26lv31idr.step 217 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
am26lv31idr-etched.step 2.4 MB You want the part with AM26LV31IDR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 616 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 (25 pp, sha256 97b8126081310352, 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).
