The SN75150DR is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed for use in data communication systems. It is a quadruple line driver with differential outputs, primarily utilized in applications that require high-speed data transmission over long distances.
One of the key features of the SN75150DR is its capability to provide balanced voltage levels for driving twisted-pair lines. It offers four independent drivers, each capable of driving a balanced transmission line with a nominal characteristic impedance of 100 ohms. The differential outputs of this component enable efficient data transmission while minimizing transmission line reflections and signal distortions.
Additionally, the SN75150DR is designed to operate at high data rates, with a typical signaling rate of up to 20 Mbps. This makes it suitable for use in various communication protocols like RS-422 and RS-485. The input thresholds of the IC are compatible with a wide range of logic families, including TTL, CMOS, and ECL.
To ensure reliable performance, this IC component is built with a thermal shutdown feature that protects it from excessive heat. It also incorporates fail-safe circuitry which ensures a logic high output level when the inputs are open or shorted. This feature prevents the transmission line from receiving erroneous data when there is no valid input signal.
Furthermore, the SN75150DR operates with a wide supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V, making it compatible with standard power supplies
