3 Description

The SN65LBC175A-EP is a quadruple differential line

receiver with 3-state outputs, designed for TIA/EIA-

485 (RS-485), TIA/EIA-422 (RS-422), and ISO 8482

(Euro RS-485) applications.

This device is optimized for balanced multipoint bus

communication at data rates up to and exceeding 50

million bits per second. The transmission media may

be twisted-pair cables, printed-circuit board traces, or

backplanes. The ultimate rate and distance of data

transfer is dependent upon the attenuation

characteristics of the media and the noise coupling to

the environment.

The receiver operates over a wide range of positive

and negative common-mode input voltages, and

features ESD protection to 6 kV, making it suitable for

high-speed multipoint data transmission applications

in harsh environments. These devices are designed

using LinBiCMOS?, facilitating low power

consumption and robustness.

Two EN inputs provide pair-wise enable control, or

these can be tied together externally to enable all four

drivers with the same signal.
