description
The SN55LBC173 is a monolithic quadruple
differential line receiver with 3-state outputs and is
designed to meet the requirements of the EIA
standards RS-422-A, RS-423-A, RS-485, and
CCITT V.11. This device is optimized for balanced
multipointbustransmissionatdataratesuptoand
exceeding 10 million bits per second. The four
receivers share two ORed enable inputs, one
active when high, the other active when low. Each
receiver features high input impedance, input
hysteresis for increased noise immunity, and input
sensitivityof±200mVoveracommon-modeinput
voltage range of 12 V to –7 V. Fail-safe design
ensures that if the inputs are open circuited, the
output is always high. The SN55LBC173 is
designed using the Texas Instruments proprietary
LinBiCMOS technology that provides low power
consumption, high switching speeds, and
robustness.

This device offers optimum performance when used with the SN55LBC172M quadruple line driver. The
SN55LBC173 is available in the 16-pin CDIP (J), the 16-pin CPAK (W), or the 20-pin LCCC (FK) packages.
The SN55LBC173 is characterized over the military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.
