The SN75176AD is an IC component that belongs to the SN75176 family of devices. It is a bipolar differential bus transceiver specifically designed for bidirectional data communication on multipoint bus transmission lines. This component is widely used in various applications, including telecommunications, industrial automation, and automotive systems.
One of the key features of the SN75176AD is its ability to provide a reliable and high-speed data transmission over long distances. It supports data rates up to 400 kilobits per second and can achieve communication distances of up to 1200 meters. This makes it suitable for applications requiring robust communication in noisy industrial environments.
The SN75176AD operates using a half-duplex configuration, where data transmission can occur in both directions, but not simultaneously. It utilizes differential signaling, which helps in minimizing noise susceptibility and increasing signal integrity. The balanced differential bus lines ensure strong immunity to common-mode noise interference, improving the overall system reliability.
Another important feature of the SN75176AD is its wide supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V. This flexibility allows it to be easily integrated into various system designs, supporting a wide range of power supply requirements. Moreover, the SN75176AD offers low power consumption and includes a power-down mode, further enhancing its energy efficiency.
To safeguard against potential damage, this IC component incorporates built-in thermal shutdown and overvoltage protection circuits
