Frequently Asked Questions
What communication standard does the DS36950V support?
The DS36950V supports EIA-485 (RS-485) and EIA-422 (RS-422) differential communication standards. It integrates 4 driver channels and 4 receiver channels, making it suitable for multi-drop bus topologies at data rates commonly used in industrial serial networks.
Can the DS36950V receivers operate while the device is in shutdown mode?
Yes. The DS36950V features 4 receivers that remain active even when the device is placed in shutdown mode. This allows the host system to continue monitoring the RS-485 bus for incoming data without consuming full operating power, which is valuable in energy-sensitive embedded designs.
What is the maximum high-level input current of the DS36950V?
The DS36950V has a maximum high-level input current of 0.00002 A (20 µA). Its inputs feature differential Schmitt trigger characteristics, providing hysteresis that significantly improves noise rejection on long cable runs and in electrically noisy industrial environments.
What package and pricing options are available for the DS36950V?
The DS36950V is available in a through-hole package (Other/DIP style) from Texas Instruments. Pricing starts at approximately $6.825 per unit, with stock available globally and worldwide shipping options to support both prototype and production quantities.
