Texas Instruments Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers SN75159DRE4

The SN75159DRE4 is a dual differential line driver designed for balanced line operation and is compatible with TTL logic levels. It operates from a single 5-V supply and features high-impedance outputs, making it suitable for party-line applications where multiple devices share the same transmission line. Each driver has individual output control, allowing the outputs to enter a high-impedance state when not in use, which prevents loading on the bus. This device is characterized for operation within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and includes short-circuit protection and clamp diodes at the inputs for enhanced reliability. The SN75159DRE4 is packaged in a 14-pin SOIC format, making it suitable for various applications requiring robust communication interfaces.
