MNDS96F172M-W

The DS96F172 is a high speed quad differential line driver designed to meet EIA Standards RS-485. DS96F172 offers improved performance due to the use of new state-of-the-art L-FAST bipolar technology. The L-FAST technology allows for higher speeds and lower currents by utilizing extremely short gate delay times.

The DS96F172 has wide positive and negative common mode range for multipoint applications in noisy environments. Positive and negative current-limiting is provided to protect the driver from line fault conditions over +12V to -7V common mode range. The DS96F172 features an active high and active low Enable common to all four drivers.
