The SN55LBC172 is a monolithic quadruple
differential line driver with 3-state outputs. This
device is designed to meet the requirements of the
Electronics Industry Association (EIA) standard
RS-485. The SN55LBC172 is optimized for
balanced multipoint bus transmission at data
rates up to and exceeding 10 million bits per
second. The driver features wide positive and
negative common-mode output voltage ranges,
current limiting, and thermal-shutdown circuitry,
making it suitable for party-line applications in
noisy environments. The device is designed using
the LinBiCMOS™ process, facilitating ultralow
power consumption and inherent robustness.

The SN55LBC172 provides positive- and negative-current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection from
line fault conditions on the transmission bus line. This device offers optimum performance when used with the
SN55LBC173M quadruple line receiver. The SN55LBC172 is available in the 16-pin CDIP package (J), the
16-pin CPAK package (W), or the 20-pin LCCC package (FK).
The SN55LBC172 is characterized for operation over a military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.
