DS96F174MJ-QMLV

Overview

The DS96F174MJ-QMLV is a high-speed quad differential line driver designed to meet EIA-485 and EIA-422 standards. Utilizing L-FAST bipolar technology, it operates at data rates up to 15 Mbps while minimizing power consumption. The device features TRI-STATE outputs with separate active-high enables for each driver pair. It supports a single +5.0V supply (4.50V to 5.50V) and provides a wide common mode output voltage range from -7.0V to +12.0V. Integrated thermal shutdown and current-limiting protection safeguard against line faults. The component is qualified under MIL-STD-883, Method 5005, Group A, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• L-FAST bipolar technology enables high-speed operation up to 15 Mbps with reduced power consumption.
• Wide common mode output voltage range of -7.0V to +12.0V supports multipoint applications in noisy environments.
• Separate active-high enable inputs allow independent control of each driver pair.
• Built-in thermal shutdown and positive/negative current-limiting protect the drivers from line fault conditions.

Applications

• Multipoint bus transmission systems
• Military and defense electronic equipment
• EIA-485/EIA-422 compliant communication networks

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches QMLV requirements. Confirm package type NFE (CDIP) and pin count. Ensure compliance with MIL-STD-883, Method 5005, Group A testing protocols. Validate operating temperature range specifications for your specific application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when EIA-485 or EIA-422 compliance is mandatory. Choose over standard industrial variants if radiation tolerance or military-grade reliability is required. Verify that the separate enable pin configuration fits the system logic design compared to shared enable alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS96F17xMQML family of quad differential drivers. It shares core functionality with the DS96F172MQML but differs in enable architecture. The MJ-QMLV suffix indicates a specific ceramic dual in-line package variant qualified for military use.

Replacement Considerations

DS96F174MJ/883 is a comparable commercial grade version. SN75174 serves as a functional equivalent for non-military applications. AM26LS31 offers similar performance in different packaging options.
