Texas Instruments 4-Channel Differential Non-Inverting Line Receiver PDIP 16-Pin SN75173N

Texas Instruments SN75173N is a 4-channel differential line receiver designed for high-speed data communication and robust signal interfacing in industrial, commercial, and electronic systems. Featuring a non-inverting architecture, this integrated circuit enables reliable RS-485 and similar multipoint bus applications requiring signal integrity over long distances and in electrically noisy environments.

Engineered in a 16-pin PDIP package, the SN75173N is well-suited for through-hole mounting on standard PCBs, facilitating integration in both new designs and legacy systems. The device provides four independent channels, allowing multiple differential signals to be received and processed simultaneously, making it ideal for multi-channel monitoring and control environments, automation equipment, and instrumentation.

Operating within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V, the SN75173N aligns with typical TTL/CMOS logic voltage requirements. Its maximum propagation delay of just 35ns ensures high-speed and timely data transfer, critical for real-time process control and fast serial communications. The IC can handle maximum low level output currents up to 16mA and high level output currents up to -400μA, providing robust drive capabilities for downstream components and circuit elements.

With reliable performance across an operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C, the SN75173N maintains stable operation under varied environmental conditions. The differential input and output structure mitigates common-mode noise and interference, supporting error-resistant communication in demanding industrial and laboratory contexts. The PDIP package dimensions (length: 19.69mm, width: 6.6mm, height: 5.08mm) ensure compatibility with standard circuit board footprints.

The SN75173N is part of Texas Instruments’ SN75 logic family, recognized for efficient line reception and robust electronic circuit integration.
