Product details
Overview
DS96F174MJ/883 from Texas Instruments is a quad EIA-485/EIA-422 differential line driver in 16-pin CDIP package, operating from a single +5.0V supply with ±60mA output drive, −7.0V to +12.0V common-mode output range, and 15 Mbps data rate capability for balanced multipoint bus transmission in harsh environments.
For engineers reviewing the DS96F174MJ/883 datasheet, DS96F174MJ/883 pinout, DS96F174MJ/883 application, or DS96F174MJ/883 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, MIL-STD-883 qualified thermal shutdown and current-limiting protection, TRI-STATE enable timing (tLZ = 25 ns, tZH = 40 ns), and functional compatibility with legacy SN75174 and AM26LS31 drivers.
Technical Context
The DS96F174MJ/883 implements four independent differential drivers, each with separate active-high enable inputs-unlike the DS96F172's shared dual-enable architecture. It uses L-FAST bipolar technology to achieve monotonic switching, low propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤25 ns), and tight output skew (≤4 ns) across temperature (−55°C to +125°C).
Each driver provides short-circuit protection over ±7V to +12V common-mode range, thermal shutdown, and high-impedance outputs when disabled. Its differential output voltage (VOD1 ≥6.0V at IO = 0mA) and wide VOC range ensure robust noise immunity in industrial and military serial communication buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 15 Mbps - supports high-speed RS-485/RS-422 point-to-multipoint links without signal integrity degradation. |
| Differential Output Voltage (VOD1) | ≥6.0 V at IO = 0 mA - ensures strong logic margin against noise and line loss in long-haul industrial networks. |
| Common-Mode Range (VOC) | −7.0 V to +12.0 V - enables reliable operation in electrically noisy environments with ground potential differences. |
| Supply Voltage | +4.5 V to +5.5 V - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and tolerant of power rail variation in embedded systems. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤25 ns (RL = 27Ω, CL = 15pF) - guarantees deterministic timing for synchronous multi-drop protocols. |
| Output Skew | ≤4 ns - minimizes inter-channel timing mismatch critical for parallel bus or multi-driver synchronization. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Integrated protection - prevents latch-up or permanent damage during sustained overload or ambient overheating. |
Pinout & Package
DS96F174MJ/883 is housed in a hermetically sealed 16-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP), designated NFE0016A, rated for −55°C to +125°C operation and compliant with MIL-STD-883 screening.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 5, 8 | Driver Input A | Non-inverting input for each of four differential driver pairs; TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V). |
| 2, 6, 9, 12 | Driver Enable (E) | Active-high enable per driver pair; controls TRI-STATE output independently-enables selective bus arbitration. |
| 3, 7, 10, 13 | Driver Output Y | Positive differential output; drives bus line Y with complementary Z to maintain EIA-485/422 differential signaling integrity. |
| 11, 14, 15, 16 | Driver Output Z | Negative differential output; paired with Y to deliver balanced differential voltage swing up to 6.0 V. |
| 17 (NC) | No Connection | Pin 17 is not bonded; unused in CDIP-16 variant-no routing or termination required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EIA-485/EIA-422 Compliance | Fully meets RS-485 and RS-422 electrical standards-including differential voltage, common-mode range, and driver output impedance-enabling drop-in interoperability in legacy and new designs. |
| Separate Per-Pair Enables | Four independent active-high enable inputs allow granular control of each driver pair-essential for dynamic bus segment activation in distributed control systems. |
| Monotonic Differential Switching | Eliminates output glitches during state transitions-prevents false edge detection in high-speed clock or data recovery circuits. |
| Current-Limiting Protection | Internal positive/negative current limiting safeguards against line faults across −7V to +12V common-mode range-reduces need for external protection components. |
| MIL-STD-883 Qualified | Screened per Method 5005 Group A (subgroups 1–14) for static/dynamic/functional/switching performance across full temperature range-certified for defense and aerospace applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad differential driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN75174N | Commercial-grade (0°C to +70°C), no MIL-STD-883 screening, identical pinout and logic function. | Lacks thermal shutdown, current limiting, and extended temperature range-unsuitable for military/aerospace deployment. | Select SN75174N only for cost-sensitive, non-critical commercial systems where environmental stress is minimal. |
| AM26LS31CDR | SOIC-16 package, lower max data rate (10 Mbps), no thermal shutdown, same enable architecture and VOD1 (≥6.0 V). | Not qualified for extended temperature or radiation environments; surface-mount only-requires PCB redesign vs. CDIP. | Choose AM26LS31CDR for space-constrained, non-military designs needing RoHS-compliant, volume-production availability. |
Compared with SN75174N and AM26LS31CDR, DS96F174MJ/883 uniquely combines MIL-STD-883 qualification, thermal shutdown, −55°C to +125°C operation, and 15 Mbps capability-making it the sole option for high-integrity, high-speed RS-485/422 links in defense and aerospace platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by DS96F174MJ/883?
The DS96F174MJ/883 supports data rates up to 15 Mbps under specified load conditions (RL = 27Ω, CL = 15pF). This performance is validated across the full −55°C to +125°C operating range and confirmed in the SNOSAS8A datasheet's AC characteristics table. The DS96F174MJ/883 achieves this speed while maintaining monotonic switching and <4 ns output skew-critical for high-fidelity signal integrity in real-time control networks.
Does DS96F174MJ/883 include thermal shutdown protection?
Yes, DS96F174MJ/883 integrates thermal shutdown protection as a core safety feature. When junction temperature exceeds safe limits-typically during sustained overload or elevated ambient conditions-the device automatically disables all outputs to prevent permanent damage. This behavior is documented in the "Features" section and verified in MIL-STD-883 Group A testing subgroups covering thermal stress at +125°C and functional validation at extremes.
How does DS96F174MJ/883 differ from DS96F172MJ/883 in enable configuration?
DS96F174MJ/883 features four independent active-high enable inputs-one per driver pair-allowing selective activation of individual differential channels. In contrast, DS96F172MJ/883 uses a single enable pin with both active-high and active-low inputs shared across all four drivers. This architectural difference makes DS96F174MJ/883 ideal for applications requiring dynamic bus segmentation, such as modular avionics or reconfigurable industrial I/O systems.
Is DS96F174MJ/883 pin-compatible with SN75174?
Yes, DS96F174MJ/883 is functionally and pin-compatible with SN75174 in the 16-pin CDIP package (NFE0016A). Both share identical pin assignments for inputs, enables, differential outputs, and power. However, DS96F174MJ/883 adds thermal shutdown, current limiting, and MIL-STD-883 qualification-enhancing reliability without requiring PCB layout changes.
What is the common-mode output voltage range of DS96F174MJ/883?
The DS96F174MJ/883 supports a common-mode output voltage range of −7.0 V to +12.0 V, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of SNOSAS8A. This wide range enables robust operation in electrically noisy environments with significant ground potential differences-such as factory floors, rail yards, or airborne platforms-where differential receivers must tolerate large common-mode offsets without signal corruption.
