Signaling rate by TIA/EIA-485-A definition restrict transition times
to 30% of the bit length, and much higher signaling rates may be
achieved without this requirement as displayed in the TYPICAL
CHARACTERISTICS of this device.
DESCRIPTION
The SN65LBC179A and SN75LBC179A differential driver and receiver pairs are monolithic integrated circuits
designed for bidirectional data communication over long cables that take on the characteristics of transmission
lines. They are balanced, or differential, voltage mode devices that are compatible with ANSI standard
TIA/EIA-485-A and ISO 8482:1987(E). The A version offers improved switching performance over its
predecessors without sacrificing significantly more power.
The SN65LBC179A and SN75LBC179A combine a differential line driver and differential input line receiver and
operate from a single 5-V supply. The driver differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected
to separate terminals for full-duplex operation and are designed to present minimum loading to the bus when
powered off (V
CC
= 0). These parts feature a wide positive and negative common-mode voltage range making
them suitable for point-to-point or multipoint data bus applications. The devices also provide positive- and
negative-current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection from line fault conditions.
The SN65LBC179A is characterized over the industrial temperature range of 40°C to 85°C. The SN75LBC179A
is characterized for operation over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
