description
The SN65LBC173A and SN75LBC173A are
quadruple differential line receivers with 3-state
outputs, designed for TIA/EIA-485 (RS-485),
TIA/EIA-422 (RS-422), and ISO 8482 (Euro
RS-485) applications.
These devices are optimized for balanced
multipoint bus communication at data rates up to
and exceeding 50 million bits per second. The
transmission media may be twisted-pair cables,
printed-circuit board traces, or backplanes. The
ultimate rate and distance of data transfer is
dependent upon the attenuation characteristics of
the media and the noise coupling to the
environment.
Each receiver operates over a wide range of positive and negative common-mode input voltages, and features
ESD protection to 6 kV, making it suitable for high-speed multipoint data transmission applications in harsh
environments. These devices are designed using LinBiCMOS, facilitating low power consumption and
robustness.
The G and G inputs provide enable control logic for either positive- or negative-logic enabling all four drivers.
When disabled or powered off, the receiver inputs present a high-impedance to the bus for reduced system
loading.
The SN75LBC173A is characterized for operation over the temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The
SN65LBC173A is characterized over the temperature range from –40°C to 85°C.
