The SN75173DR is a high-performance, differential bus transceiver designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments. This advanced product is designed specifically to meet the requirements of ANSI Standards EIA/TIA-422-B and ITU Recommendation V.11. The SN75173DR is a part of the SN75173 series and is designed for balanced transmission-line applications.

This exceptional product is characterized by high data rates and robust performance. It operates with a differential line driver and a differential line receiver on the same chip. The driver and receiver have active-high and active-low enables, respectively, that can be externally connected to function as a direction control. The driver differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected internally to form a differential input/output (I/O) bus port that is designed to offer minimum loading to the bus whenever the driver is disabled or VCC = 0.

Furthermore, the SN75173DR is designed to handle up to ±12V bus voltages, thus providing robust protection against bus faults and voltage transients. This makes it a suitable choice for applications where data integrity and system reliability are crucial.

The SN75173DR is available in a standard SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) 16-pin package. This compact form factor, combined with its high-speed performance and robust design, makes it ideal for use in a wide range of applications including telecommunications, data communications, industrial control, and more.

In addition, the SN75173DR is RoHS compliant and supports a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging environmental conditions. Texas Instruments is a global semiconductor design and manufacturing company that is renowned for its high-quality products and the SN75173DR is no exception.

With its advanced features and superior performance, the SN75173DR from Texas Instruments is a reliable and efficient solution for all your differential bus transceiver needs.
