Overview

The SN75176BDR is a differential bus transceiver designed for bidirectional data communication on multipoint bus transmission lines. It combines a three-state differential line driver and a differential input line receiver, both of which operate from a single 5V power supply.

Why Choose This Part

This transceiver offers high input impedance and wide common-mode voltage range for robust performance over long cable runs. It features thermal shutdown protection and driver current limiting to prevent damage during bus contention or fault conditions.

Applications

RS-485 Networks
Reliable long-distance serial communication in multipoint industrial environments.
RS-422 Systems
Point-to-point and multi-drop high-speed data transmission for telecommunications.
Motor Control Feedback
Transmitting encoder signals in electrically noisy industrial automation settings.

Getting Started

Integrate into hardware designs using a standard 8-pin SOIC footprint with a 100nF decoupling capacitor near the VCC pin. Ensure proper bus termination with 120-ohm resistors at both ends of the transmission line to minimize signal reflections.
