Texas Instruments SN75LBC176A Differential Bus Transceiver SN75LBC176APE4

The SN75LBC176A is a differential bus transceiver designed for bidirectional data communication on multipoint bus transmission lines. It supports signaling rates up to 30 Mbps and is compatible with ANSI standard TIA/EIA-485-A and ISO 8482:1987(E). The device features low skew and is optimized for multipoint transmission in noisy environments, making it suitable for various applications. This transceiver operates from a single 5-V power supply and includes a 3-state differential line driver and a differential input line receiver. It has a common mode voltage range of ,Äì7 V to 12 V and offers thermal shutdown protection, driver positive and negative current limiting, and an open-circuit failsafe receiver design. The receiver input sensitivity is ¬±200 mV maximum, with a typical input hysteresis of 50 mV. The SN75LBC176A also boasts very low disabled supply current requirements, with a maximum of 700 ¬µA, and features glitch-free power-up and power-down protection. It is available in multiple package options, including SOIC and PDIP, making it versatile for different design needs.
