description
The SN75ALS191 is a dual, high-speed, differential line driver designed to meet ANSI Standard EIA/TIA-422-B
and ITU Recommendation V.11. The inputs are TTL- and CMOS-compatible and have input clamp diodes.
Schottky-diode-clamped transistors minimize propagation delay time. This device operates from a single 5-V
power supply and is supplied in eight-pin packages.
The SN75ALS191 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

† Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
