5-V FULL-DUPLEX RS-485/RS-422 DRIVER AND BALANCED RECEIVER
Designed for INTERBUS Applications
Balanced Receiver Thresholds
The SN65HVD179 is a differential line driver and
differential-input line receiver that operates with a 5-V
1/2 Unit-Load (up to 64 nodes on the bus)
power supply. Each driver and receiver has separate
Bus-Pin ESD Protection 15 kV HBM
input and output pins for full-duplex bus
Bus-Fault Protection of 7V to 12V
communication designs. They are designed for
balanced transmission lines and interoperation with
Thermal Shutdown Protection
ANSI TIA/EIA-485A, TIA/EIA-422-B, ITU-T v.11, and
Power-Up/Down Glitch-free Bus Inputs and
ISO 8482:1993 standard-compliant devices.
Outputs
The differential bus driver and receiver are monolithic,
Designed for RS-422 and RS-485 Networks
integrated circuits designed for full-duplex
bi-directional data communication on multipoint
bus-transmission lines at signaling rates

Mbps. The SN65HVD179 is fully enabled with no
Utility Meters external enabling pins.
Chassis-to-Chassis Interconnections
The 1/2 unit load receiver has a high receiver input

resistance. This results in lower bus leakage currents
over the common-mode voltage range, and reduces
Industrial, Process, and Building Automation
the total amount of current that a 485 driver is forced
Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminals and Networks
to source or sink when transmitting.
DTE/DCE Interfaces
The balanced differential receiver input threshold
makes the SN65HVD179 fully compatible with
fieldbus requirements that define an external failsafe
structure.
(1) The signaling rate of a line is the number of voltage
transitions that are made per second expressed in the units
bps (bits per second).
