DESCRIPTION
The DS96172 and DS96174 are high speed quad
differential line drivers designed to meet EIA
Standard RS-485. The devices have tri-state outputs
and are optimized for balanced multipoint data bus
transmission at rates up to 10 Mbps. The drivers
have wide positive and negative common mode
range for multipoint applications in noisy
environments. Positive and negative current-limiting
is provided which protects the drivers from line fault
conditions over a +12V to −7.0V common mode
range. A thermal shutdown feature is also provided
and occurs at junction temperature of approximately
160°C. The DS96172 features an active high and
active low Enable, common to all four drivers. The
DS96174 features separate active high Enables for
each driver pair. Compatible RS-485 receivers,
transceivers, and repeaters are also offered to
provide optimum bus performance. The respective
device types are DS96173, DS96175, DS96176, AND
DS96177.
