DS96F175MJ/883

The Texas Instruments DS96F175MJ/883 is a quad differential line receiver compliant with EIA-485 and EIA-422 standards, housed in a hermetically sealed ceramic dual-inline package (CDIP). Each of the four receiver channels converts balanced differential signals to single-ended logic levels, incorporating a fail-safe circuit that drives the output to a logic high when the inputs are open, shorted, or idle—a critical feature for preventing false states on un-driven buses. An active-high enable pin per channel places the tri-state outputs into a high-impedance mode, allowing multiple devices to share a common data bus. The input stage presents a wide common-mode voltage range to tolerate substantial ground potential differences, and the high input impedance supports standard multidrop configurations with up to 32 unit loads. The device operates from a single 5V supply and is characterized across the full -55°C to +125°C military temperature range.

Target applications include ruggedized industrial fieldbus nodes, process automation interfaces, motor control networks, and high-reliability military/avionics data links such as ARINC-compatible buses, flight instrumentation, and ground support equipment where noise immunity and deterministic performance are mandatory. The /883 suffix indicates processing in full compliance with MIL-STD-883, encompassing element evaluation, burn-in, and rigorous environmental screening that provide assured traceability and reliability for defense and aerospace programs. The CDIP construction guarantees long-term hermeticity in severe environments. Procurement requires long-term lifecycle awareness: as a mature military-grade component, the DS96F175MJ/883 may be subject to extended lead times, minimum lot requirements, and eventual obsolescence; sourcing through authorized, traceable channels with certified stock helps mitigate risk and ensures authenticity in sustained deployments.
