description
The SN75172 is a monolithic quadruple
differential line driver with 3-state outputs. It is
designed to meet the requirements of ANSI
Standards EIA/TIA-422-B and RS-485 and ITU
Recommendation V.11. The device is optimized
for balanced multipoint bus transmission at rates
of up to 4 megabaud. Each driver features wide
positive and negative common-mode output
voltage ranges, making it suitable for party-line
applications in noisy environments.

The SN75172 provides positive- and negative-current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection from line
fault conditions on the transmission bus line. Shutdown occurs at a junction temperature of approximately
150°C. This device offers optimum performance when used with the SN75173 or SN75175 quadruple
differential line receivers.
The SN75172 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2)
RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of
