The SN75ALS170 and SN75ALS170A triple differential bus transceivers are monolithic integrated circuits
designed for bidirectional data communication on multipoint bus transmission lines. It is designed for balanced
transmission lines and the driver meets ANSI Standards EIA/TIA-422-B and RS-485 and both the driver and
receiver meet ITU Recommendation V .1 1. The SN75ALS170A is designed for F AST -20 SCSI and can transmit
or receive data pulses as short as 30 ns with a maximum skew of 5 ns.
The SN75ALS170 and SN75ALS170A operate from a single 5-V power supply . The drivers and receivers have
active-high and active-low enables, respectively, which are internally connected together to function as a
direction control. The driver differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected internally to
form differential input/output (I/O) bus ports that are designed to offer minimum loading to the bus when the
driver is disabled or V
= 0. These ports feature wide positive and negative common-mode voltage ranges
CC
making the device suitable for party-line applications.
The SN75ALS170 and the SN75ALS170A are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

†
The power-off measurement in ANSI Standard EIA/TIA-422-B applies to disabled outputs only and is not applied to combined inputs and outputs.
‡
All typical values are at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C.
§
The minimum V
¶
∆ | VOD | and ∆ | VOC | are the changes in magnitude of VOD and VOC respectively, that occur when the input is changed from a high level to a
low level.
NOTE 3: This applies for both power on and off; refer to EIA Standard RS-485 for exact conditions. The EIA/TIA-422-B limit does not apply for
