Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DS16F95AJA and what does it do?
The DS16F95AJA is a 9-bit RS-485/RS-422 parity bus transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It combines a differential line driver and receiver with 9-bit parity generation and checking logic. The device enables reliable half-duplex or full-duplex communication over RS-485/RS-422 balanced lines, with 3-state outputs to support multi-point bus topologies. The 'J' suffix indicates a ceramic DIP package and 'A' denotes the extended military temperature range.
What are the key electrical specifications of the DS16F95AJA?
Key specifications: single 5V supply voltage, maximum data rate of 250kbps, operating temperature range -55°C to +125°C (military grade), 20-pin ceramic DIP (CDIP-20) package. The differential output voltage is ≥1.5V under load, receiver input sensitivity is ±200mV, and the device supports bus configurations with up to 32 unit loads on RS-485 networks.
What is the difference between DS16F95AJA and DS96F95AJA?
The DS16F95AJA is from TI's DS16 family and is rated for 5V operation with RS-485/RS-422 compatibility. The DS96F95AJA is a close functional equivalent, often rated for broader supply voltage ranges. Both provide 9-bit parity bus transceiver functions in ceramic packages for military applications. For pin-compatible alternatives, also consider the DS96F95MA or equivalent parts from other manufacturers such as the MC3487/MC3488 family.
Is the DS16F95AJA RoHS compliant?
The DS16F95AJA uses a ceramic DIP package (CDIP), which is typically a non-RoHS legacy package because ceramic military-grade components often contain lead in their sealing materials. This part is designed for military/aerospace applications where RoHS exemptions apply. For RoHS-compliant applications, consider TI's newer RS-485 transceiver families in plastic packages such as the SN65HVD series.
