Product Overview
The SN75176BP is a differential bus transceiver from Texas Instruments in DIP-8 package, implementing the RS-485 and RS-422 communication standards. It combines a tri-state differential line driver and a differential line receiver, both active simultaneously for full-duplex or half-duplex operation. The device features ±200mV receiver sensitivity, 60mA driver output current, and thermal shutdown protection, supporting data rates up to 10Mbps.
