description
The SN75ALS174A is a quadruple line driver with
3-state differential outputs. It is designed to meet
the requirements of ANSI Standards
EIA/TIA-422-B and RS-485. This device is
optimized for balanced multipoint bus
transmission at rates of up to 20 Mbit/s. Each
driver features wide positive and negative
common-mode output voltage ranges that make
them suitable for party-line applications in noisy
environments.
The SN75ALS174A provides positive- and negative-current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection from
line fault conditions on the transmission bus line. Shutdown occurs at a junction temperature of
approximately 150°C.
The SN75ALS174A is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
