The SN65LBC174ADW from Texas Instruments is a high-performance quad differential line driver designed for RS-422 and RS-485 communication systems. Housed in a 20-pin SOIC package, this surface-mount IC operates within a 4.75V to 5.25V supply range, ensuring compatibility with standard 5V logic systems. With a data rate of 30Mbps, it supports high-speed data transmission, making it ideal for industrial and telecom applications. The device features 40mV of receiver hysteresis, enhancing noise immunity in electrically noisy environments. As a 4/0 (4 drivers, 0 receivers) configuration, it is optimized for unidirectional communication, reducing complexity in systems where bidirectional transceivers are unnecessary.
The SN65LBC174ADW is a high-speed, noise-immune differential line driver tailored for unidirectional RS-422/485 applications. Its 30Mbps capability, hysteresis-enhanced noise rejection, and 5V compatibility make it a preferred choice for industrial, telecom, and test systems. While marked as Last Time Buy, it remains a reliable solution for designs requiring robust, high-performance differential signaling. Engineers should evaluate alternatives for future-proofing new designs but can leverage this IC for legacy or time-sensitive projects.
