The SN65LBC172 and SN75LBC172 are
monolithic quadruple differential line drivers with
3-state outputs. Both devices are designed to
meet the requirements of EIA Standard RS-485.
These devices are optimized for balanced
multipointbustransmissionatdataratesuptoand
exceeding 10 million bits per second. Each driver
features wide positive and negative common-
mode output voltage ranges, current limiting, and
thermal-shutdown circuitry making it suitable for
party-line applications in noisy environments.
Both devices are designed using LinBiCMOS ,
facilitating ultra-low power consumption and
inherent robustness.

BoththeSN65LBC172andSN75LBC172provide
positive- and negative-current limiting and
thermal shutdown for protection from line fault
conditions on the transmission bus line. These
devices offer optimum performance when
used with the SN75LBC173 or SN75LBC175
quadruple line receivers. The SN65LBC172 and
SN75LBC172 are available in the 16-pin DIP
package (N) and the 20-pin wide-body small-
outline inline-circuit (SOIC) package (DW).

The SN75LBC172 is characterized for operation
over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to
70°C. The SN65LBC172 is characterized over the
industrial temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
