TISN75179B
Overview
The SN75179B is a differential driver and receiver pair designed for full-duplex communication on RS-422 and RS-485 networks. It operates from a 5V supply and combines a single driver and receiver in a compact 8-pin package, making it a staple for point-to-point and multi-point industrial data links.
Why Choose This Part
This transceiver features driver thermal-shutdown protection and 50 mV of receiver input hysteresis to improve noise immunity. It supports a wide common-mode input voltage range of -7V to 12V, ensuring reliable operation despite ground potential differences between nodes.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
For rapid prototyping, mount the SOIC-8 or PDIP-8 package onto a breadboard adapter and provide a stable 4.75V to 5.25V supply. Ensure 120-ohm termination resistors are placed at the physical ends of the differential bus to prevent signal reflections.
