Dec to IBM N Line Converter

This document describes the W690 DEC to IBM N Line Converter, a module containing four inverting drivers. Key features include:

• Functionality: Provides outputs compatible with IBM N transmission lines, C lines, and N logic by programming output currents via pins T and U.
• Performance: Features a maximum delay of 100 nanoseconds.
• Compatibility: Can drive loads returned to voltages as high as +12V, allowing for T, D, or Q line usage with appropriate biasing networks.
• Electrical Specs: Inputs are 2mA at ground and 0mA at -3V. The module operates with +10V (0mA) and -15V (150mA) power supplies. Outputs are open for negative inputs and can withstand being shorted to ground without damage.
