Frequently Asked Questions
What interface standards does the DS3695TN support?
The DS3695TN supports both EIA-485 (RS-485) and EIA-422 (RS-422) interface standards, making it suitable for half-duplex multipoint networks as well as full-duplex point-to-point links. The differential Schmitt trigger input allows it to tolerate up to ±7 V common-mode voltage on the bus.
What happens to the DS3695TN receiver when the device is in shutdown mode?
Unlike many transceivers that disable the receiver during shutdown, the DS3695TN keeps the receiver active under shutdown. This means the host MCU or controller can still monitor bus traffic and wake the system when activity is detected, reducing overall system power while maintaining bus awareness.
What package does the DS3695TN come in and what are its key electrical parameters?
The DS3695TN is housed in a standard 8-pin DIP (PDIP-8) through-hole package. Key parameters include 1 driver bit, differential output signaling, a maximum high-level input current of 20 µA, and full EIA-485/422 compliance. It is Pb-free and designed for industrial temperature ranges.
Can the DS3695TN be used as a repeater in an RS-485 network?
Yes. Texas Instruments classifies the DS3695TN as a Multipoint RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver/Repeater. Its common I/O architecture and tristate receiver make it straightforward to cascade multiple devices on a single bus, extending the maximum network cable length beyond the single-segment limit of 1200 m.
What is the typical price and availability of the DS3695TN?
The DS3695TN is priced from approximately $1.875 per unit and is available in stock with worldwide shipping. It is a Texas Instruments product supplied in standard DIP-8 packaging, making it easy to source through major distributors for both prototyping and production volume orders.
