DS96175CN/NOPB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DS96175CN/NOPB is a 0/4 Receiver IC for RS422 and RS485 serial communication interfaces, manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 16-DIP through-hole package. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance, repairs, and legacy design updates. The part operates within a 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage range and supports data rates up to 10 Mbps across industrial and commercial communication applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DS96175CN/NOPB are selected based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. All qualified substitutes must meet the following requirements:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Package type: 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole mounting
• Receiver configuration: 0/4 (no drivers, 4 receivers)
• Supply voltage range: 4.75V ~ 5.25V
• Protocol support: RS422 and/or RS485
• Operating temperature range: 0°C ~ 70°C
• RoHS3 compliance

Substitute Parts Identified:

1. MAX3095CPE+ (Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated) — Active product status with identical electrical specifications and receiver hysteresis of 45 mV
2. SN75175N (Texas Instruments) — Active product status supporting RS422, RS423, and RS485 protocols with 50 mV receiver hysteresis
3. SN75LBC175AN (Texas Instruments) — Last Time Buy status with enhanced 50 Mbps data rate capability and 40 mV receiver hysteresis
4. MC3486N (Texas Instruments) — Obsolete product supporting RS422 and RS423 protocols with identical package and voltage specifications

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: MAX3095CPE+

The MAX3095CPE+ is the preferred substitute due to active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support. It provides identical electrical specifications to the DS96175CN/NOPB with matching supply voltage, operating temperature range, and receiver configuration. The 45 mV receiver hysteresis specification provides stable threshold detection for RS422 and RS485 communication.

Secondary Recommendation: SN75175N

The SN75175N offers active product status with extended protocol support including RS423. This Texas Instruments component maintains full compatibility with the original part's electrical requirements and provides 50 mV receiver hysteresis for robust signal discrimination.

Alternative for Extended Data Rate Applications: SN75LBC175AN

The SN75LBC175AN is suitable for applications requiring higher data rate capability (50 Mbps versus 10 Mbps). This part carries Last Time Buy status, indicating limited future availability. It supports RS422, RS423, and RS485 protocols with 40 mV receiver hysteresis and maintains all core electrical compatibility parameters.

Legacy Compatibility: MC3486N

The MC3486N provides functional equivalence for RS422 and RS423 applications. As an obsolete product, it should be considered only when protocol support for RS485 is not required and inventory availability is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX3095CPE+ directly replace the DS96175CN/NOPB in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical 16-DIP package dimensions, through-hole mounting configuration, and pin assignments. No PCB modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between receiver hysteresis values across substitute parts?

A: Receiver hysteresis determines the voltage differential required for the receiver to change output state. The DS96175CN/NOPB does not specify this parameter. Substitute parts range from 40 mV (SN75LBC175AN) to 50 mV (SN75175N) to 45 mV (MAX3095CPE+). All values are within acceptable ranges for RS422 and RS485 communication and do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Why is the SN75LBC175AN listed as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has announced end-of-life for this product. While currently available, future procurement may become difficult. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the active-status MAX3095CPE+ or SN75175N are recommended.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts meet ROHS3 compliance requirements, matching the environmental and regulatory standards of the original DS96175CN/NOPB.

Q: Can the MC3486N be used in RS485 applications?

A: No. The MC3486N supports only RS422 and RS423 protocols. For RS485 applications, use MAX3095CPE+, SN75175N, or SN75LBC175AN.

Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts?

A: MAX3095CPE+ has 1226 units in stock, SN75175N has 3816 units, SN75LBC175AN has 2140 units, and MC3486N has 16128 units available as new original stock.
