Texas Instruments AM26S
AM26S variants from Texas Instruments
AM26S Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Drivers, Receivers and Transceivers.
AM26S is a Texas Instruments order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 5 variants that share the same core device but differ in suffix fields (package, grade, reel/tube, electrical bin, etc.). Pick the exact full part number; substituting within the family without checking the datasheet often causes assembly or spec mismatches.
Package: SOIC | Operating Supply Voltage: 5V | Max Supply Voltage: 5.25V | Min Supply Voltage: 4.75V | Output Current: 100mA | Number of Channels: 4 | Logic Function: Transceiver | Max Operating Temp: 70°C Other listed variants describe: Package: SOIC | Operating Supply Voltage: 5V | Max Supply Voltage: 5.25V | Min Supply Voltage: 4.75V | Logic Function: Transceiver | Max Operating Temp: 70°C | Min Operating Temp: 0°C; Quad Bus Transceiver, 5V, SOIC, Full Duplex, 18ns.
Across listed variants, watch these parameters: packages: SOIC, 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm).
Suffix examples in this family: 10CD, 10CDG4, 10CDR, 10CN, 10CNE4. The characters after the base number usually encode package, temperature, or performance grade — compare the variant table column-by-column rather than assuming pin-compatible drops-in.
Columns that actually vary on this page: Package Type. If two rows match on MPN prefix but differ there, they are not interchangeable for production.
Example MPNs: AM26S10CD, AM26S10CDG4, AM26S10CDR, AM26S10CN, AM26S10CNE4.
Key Features
- Footprint / package: SOIC, 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm)Land pattern and thermal pad differ between these packages — run a quick footprint check before you swap variants.
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 5 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 10CD, 10CDG4, 10CDR, 10CN, 10CNE4. Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Drivers, Receivers and Transceivers — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained

Ordering Code Differences
How suffixes on AM26S map to package, grade, and reel options.
AM26S uses a shared prefix; characters after the prefix encode orderable options. Two lines with the same prefix are not drop-in replacements unless the differing columns match your need.
Suffixes seen here: 10CD, 10CDG4, 10CDR, 10CN, 10CNE4.
What changes between rows: Package Type. Sort the table by these columns when narrowing from base number to a single MPN.
Full MPN examples: AM26S10CD, AM26S10CDG4, AM26S10CDR, AM26S10CN, AM26S10CNE4.
Tip: photograph or copy the reel label — reel diameter, QTY per reel, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are often suffix-driven and won't show in the schematic.
How to Choose the Right AM26S Drivers, Receivers and Transceivers
Match the footprint first
Packages here: SOIC, 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm). Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For AM26S, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "AM26S" — include the full suffix (e.g. 10CD, 10CDG4, 10CDR). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
