Texas Instruments Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers SN75976A2DL

The SN75976A2DL is a 9-channel differential transceiver designed for high-speed data communication, capable of operating at data transfer rates up to 20 million transfers per second, compliant with the Fast-20 SCSI standard. It serves as an improved replacement for the SN75LBC976, offering enhanced switching performance and higher electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, exceeding 12 kV on bus terminals. The device is available in a shrink small-outline package (DL) and features low disabled supply current of 8 mA typical, thermal shutdown protection, and power-up/down glitch protection. The transceiver is characterized for operation within an ambient temperature range of 0¬8C to 70¬8C and supports a skew limit of 4 ns for drivers and 5 ns for receivers, ensuring tight timing requirements for high-speed applications. The SN75976A2DL is suitable for applications requiring robust data integrity and reliability, such as small form-factor hard disk drives and other space-constrained designs.
