DS96F173MJ/883/MABI

Overview

The DS96F173MJ/883/MABI is a high-speed quad differential line receiver designed to meet EIA-485, EIA-422A, and EIA-423A standards. Utilizing L-FAST bipolar technology, it operates at rates up to 15 Mbps with minimized power consumption. The device features tri-state outputs, a common mode input voltage range of −7V to +12V, and an input sensitivity of ±200 mV over the common mode range. It includes typical input hysteresis of 50 mV for increased noise immunity and high input impedance. The component is powered by a single +5.0V supply and is housed in a 16-lead ceramic dual-in-line package.

Feature Summary

• Designed for multipoint bus applications with high-speed data transmission capabilities
• Features tri-state outputs and active low enable control common to all four receivers
• Provides enhanced noise immunity through input hysteresis and high input impedance

Applications

• Balanced multipoint data bus transmission systems
• Multipoint applications in electrically noisy environments
• EIA-485 standard compliant communication networks

Procurement Notes

Verify that the MABI suffix corresponds to specific military or space qualification requirements as defined by Texas Instruments. Confirm the package type matches the required 16-lead ceramic dual-in-line form factor. Ensure compatibility with existing system designs regarding the active low enable logic configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad differential receiver meeting EIA-485 standards is required for multipoint bus architectures. Consider the DS96F175 variant if separate active high enables per receiver pair are needed instead of a common enable signal. Evaluate the operating temperature range and power dissipation characteristics against system thermal constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS96F17x family of high-speed quad differential receivers from Texas Instruments. It shares functional similarities with the SN75173 and AM26LS32 devices but offers improved performance through L-FAST bipolar technology. The /883 designation indicates compliance with MIL-STD-883 testing methods.

Replacement Considerations

The DS96F173ME/883 serves as a lead-free alternative within the same product family. Verify pinout and electrical specifications against the SN75173 or AM26LS32 if cross-referencing legacy components.
