The SN65LBC174A16DW is a quadruple differential Line Driver with 3-state outputs. It is designed for TIA/EIA-485 (RS-485), TIA/EIA-422 (RS-422) and ISO 8482 applications. This device is optimized for balanced multipoint bus transmission at signalling rates up to 30Mbps. The transmission media may be printed-circuit board traces, backplanes or cables. 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 driver features current limiting and thermal-shutdown circuitry making it suitable for high-speed multipoint applications in noisy environments. This device is designed using LinBiCMOS, facilitating low power consumption and robustness.
