DS96173/DS96175 RS-485/RS-422 Quad Differential Line Receivers
June 1998
General Description
The DS96173 and DS96175 are high speed quad differential
line receivers designed to meet EIA Standard RS-485. The
devices have TRI-STATE
anced multipoint data bus transmission at rates up to 10
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 DS96173 features
an active high and active low Enable, common to all four receivers. TheDS96175featuresseparateactivehigh Enables
for each receiver pair.Compatible RS-485 drivers, transceivers, and repeaters are also offered to provide optimum bus
performance. The respective device types are DS96172,
DS96174, DS96176 and DS96177.

Note 2: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the devices
should be operated at these limits. The tables of “Electrical Characteristics” provide conditions for actual device operation.
Note 3: Unless otherwise specified Min/Max limits apply across the 0˚C to +70˚C range for the DS96173/DS96175.All typicals are given for V
Note 4: All currents into the device pins are positive; all currents out of the device pins are negative. All voltages are reference to ground unless otherwise specified.
Note 5: The algebraic convention, when the less positive (more negative) limit is designated minimum, is used in this data sheet for common mode input voltage
and threshold voltage levels only.
Note 6: Hysteresis is the difference between the positive-going input threshold voltage, V
Note 7: Refer to EIA Standards RS-485 for exact conditions.
Note 8: Only one output at a time should be shorted.
