DS96F173MQML

The DS96F173 and the DS96F175 are high speed quad differential line receivers designed to meet the EIA-485 standard. The DS96F173 and the DS96F175 offer improved performance due to the use of L-FAST bipolar technology. The use of LFAST technology allows the DS96F173 and DS96F175 to operate at higher speeds while minimizing power consumption.

The DS96F173 and the DS96F175 have TRI-STATE outputs and are optimized for balanced multipoint data bus transmission at rates up to 15 Mbps. The receivers feature high input impedance, input hysteresis for increased noise immunity, and input sensitivity of 200 mV over a common mode input voltage range of −7V to +12V. The receivers are therefore suitable for multipoint applications in noisy environments. The DS96F173 features an active high and active low Enable, common to all four receivers. The DS96F175 features separate active high Enables for each receiver pair.
