Texas Instruments Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers SN75LP196DBR

The SN75LP196 is a low-power RS-232 transceiver that integrates five drivers and three receivers, designed for use in serial communication applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 15 V and supports data rates up to 256 kbit/s under optimal conditions. The device features internal slew-rate control, limiting the maximum output signal change to 30 V/¬µs, which helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). The transceiver is compliant with TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU v.28 standards, making it suitable for interfacing with external modems and computer peripherals. It offers robust ESD protection, exceeding 15 kV on bus pins, ensuring reliability in various environments. The SN75LP196 can accept 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels on its inputs and is characterized for operation from 0¬8C to 70¬8C. It is available in multiple package options, including plastic small outline and dual-in-line packages, facilitating integration into different designs.
