The SN65LBC174A and SN75LBC174A are quadruple differential line drivers with 3-state outputs, designedfor TIA/EIA-485 (RS-485), TIA/EIA-422 (RS-422), and ISO 8482 applications.

These devices SN75LBC174A are optimized for balanced multipoint bus transmission at signalling rates up to 30 million bitsper second. The transmission media may be printed-circuit board traces, backplanes, or cables. The ultimaterate and distance of data transfer is dependent upon the attenuation characteristics of the media and the noisecoupling to the environment.

Each SN75LBC174A driver  features current limiting and thermal-shutdown circuitry making it suitable for high-speed multip ointapplications in noisy environments. These devices are designed using LinBiCMOS, facilitating low power consumption and robustness.

The two EN inputs provide pair-wise driver enabling, or can be externally tied together to provide enable controlof all four drivers with one signal. When disabled or powered off, the driver SN75LBC174A outputs present a high-impedanceto the bus for reduced system loading.

The SN75LBC174A is characterized for operation over the temperature range of 0 to 70. TheSN65LBC174A is characterized for operation over the temperature range of −40 to 85.
