What are the key features of DS96F174MJ-QMLV?
- Quad 4-channel RS-422/EIA-485 differential driver with -55°C to +125°C extended temperature range for military and aerospace applications
- 16-pin hermetic ceramic DIP (CDIP-T16) QMLV-certified package for radiation-tolerant and high-reliability space and defense systems
- Supports EIA-422 and EIA-485 multi-drop bus driving with standard TTL-compatible inputs and differential output voltage exceeding 2 V into 100-ohm loads
What is DS96F174MJ-QMLV used for?
The DS96F174MJ-QMLV is used in military avionics, satellite subsystems, and defense communication equipment where RS-422 or RS-485 differential line driving is required across the full -55°C to +125°C military temperature range. Its QMLV qualification and hermetic ceramic package make it the preferred choice for long-lifetime space-grade data bus driver applications. Ground-based radar and shipboard communication systems also use this quad driver in multi-drop network architectures for noise-immune point-to-point serial data transmission at up to several megabits per second.

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature range and differential output specification does the DS96F174MJ-QMLV meet for avionics serial buses?
The DS96F174MJ-QMLV is rated for the full military temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and delivers a minimum differential output voltage of 2 V into a 100-ohm load on each of its 4 RS-422/RS-485 driver channels. These specs satisfy EIA-422-B signal level requirements for point-to-point avionics data links at data rates up to several megabits per second, making it a direct fit for MIL-STD-1553-adjacent RS-422 backplane buses in airborne systems.
Which ground, shipboard, and satellite communication systems benefit from replacing a dual-channel RS-422 driver with the DS96F174MJ-QMLV's quad-channel integration?
Radar signal processors, satellite transponder housings, and shipboard combat management consoles that previously used two dual-channel drivers (such as DS26C31 pairs) can consolidate to a single DS96F174MJ-QMLV, halving the number of 16-pin CDIP sockets per RS-422 card. The quad integration reduces PCB area by approximately 50%, cuts component count, and improves mean time between failure (MTBF) for systems requiring 4 simultaneous RS-422 or RS-485 differential drive outputs at voltages up to 5 V supply.
How does QMLV screening on the DS96F174MJ-QMLV affect procurement lead time and pricing compared to a standard commercial SN75174 for a multi-year defense contract?
QMLV-screened parts like the DS96F174MJ-QMLV undergo 100% burn-in, radiation lot acceptance testing (RLAT), and serialized traceability per MIL-PRF-38535, which typically adds 12 to 26 weeks lead time over commercial catalog parts and can increase unit cost by 5x to 20x. However, for a 10-year defense program mandating Class B or Class S reliability screening, the QMLV part reduces field replacement costs and avoids non-conformance reports that would arise from using the commercial SN75174 without equivalent screening. Procurement officers should request a QMLV QPL certificate and lot date code with each shipment to satisfy contract data requirements lists (CDRLs).
