Description:

• A quadruple differential line driver from Texas Instruments, the SN75174N was created to satisfy the demands of long-distance, high-speed data transmission protocols such as RS-422 and RS-485.
• The SN75174N's sturdy construction and diverse features make it an excellent choice for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications that require steady and efficient differential line communication.
• Quadruple Line Drivers: Contains four separate line drivers in a single package, making it ideal for complex applications that require several communication channels.
• RS-422/RS-485 Compatibility: Meets or exceeds ANSI specifications for EIA/TIA-422-B and RS-485, enabling strong and dependable communication.
• 3-State Outputs: The outputs can be set to a high impedance state, allowing many drivers to use the same bus without interference.
• Wide Common-Mode Voltage Range: Provides a common-mode output voltage range of -7V to +12V, improving noise immunity and assuring reliable operation in electrically loud conditions.
• Thermal Shutdown Protection: Thermal shutdown features safeguard the device from overheating and damage, shutting down at junction temperatures of roughly 150°C.
• Current Limiting: Provides positive and negative current limiting to protect against potential transmission line problems.
• Low power requirements: Operates effectively and consumes little power, making it excellent for energy-sensitive applications.
• Interchangeable with MC3487: Functionally compatible with the MC3487 line driver, allowing for greater design and implementation freedom.
