DS96176, RS-485/RS-422 Differential Bus Transceiver

The DS96176 Differential Bus Transceiver is a monolithic integrated circuit designed for bidirectional data communication on balanced multipoint bus transmission lines.

The transceiver meets EIA Standard RS-485 as well as RS-422A.

The DS96176 combines a TRI-STATE ® differential line driver and a dif

DS96176 Features

* positive and negative current-limiting and thermal shutdown for protection from line fault conditions. Thermal shutdown is designed to occur at junction temperature of approximately 160˚C. The receiver features a typical input impedance of 15 kΩ, an input sensitivity of ± 200 mV, and a typical input
