AM26C31-EP: How to Estimate Total Input Current from 5V Supply With respect to Number of Channels Used

Part Number: AM26C31-EP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM26C32-EP,

Tool/software:

Hi, 

When We are Trying to Use AM26C31-EP to Convert Single Ended Signal to Differential Signal and Used in Conjunction with AM26C32-EP, What Will be the Supply Current Requirement w.r.t the number of channels used?

Thanks,

Kiran

    The worst-case supply current for both devices is 3.2 mA + 15 mA = 18.2 mA. The typical current through the bus (supplied by the driver) is 31 mA per channel with 100 Ω termination. So the typical total would be about 142 mA; calculate with at least 200 mA to be safe.

    Thanks Clemens...Does that mean, the total current requirement of 5V Supply would be 142mA and 200mA on Safer Side?

    There is no worst-case specification of the bus current (because it depends on the bus, not on the chip itself). The typical current is about 140 mA; you must apply a safety factor to that. (And if you're using different termination, the current will change.)

    Hi Kiran,

    As Clemens pointed out, the line drivers will be the devices with the most current consumption. Each driver will typically output 3.1V across a 100 ohm load (31mA) {4x channels =124mA typical). You can then add up the supply currents from each datasheet. 

    You should assume a higher margin incase you get devices with slightly stronger outputs and variances in the resistor tolerances. 

    Did you have any additional questions or did Clemens answer everything?
