What are the key features of DS96176CN?
- Differential Schmitt trigger receiver input improves noise immunity on long RS-485 and RS-422 cable runs
- Tristate receiver output and common I/O pin enable half-duplex multidrop bus topologies with up to 32 unit loads
- 1 receiver remains active under driver shutdown, allowing bus monitoring without transmitting
What is DS96176CN used for?
DS96176CN is used in industrial RS-485 multidrop networks connecting PLCs, sensors, and HMI panels over distances up to 1200 m at low baud rates. It fits legacy DIP-8 footprints on through-hole PCBs in factory automation equipment and instrumentation requiring EIA-422-A point-to-point wiring. Its common I/O architecture also suits half-duplex Modbus RTU implementations in building automation controllers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What bus standards does DS96176CN support, and what cable lengths are achievable?
DS96176CN supports EIA-422-A and EIA-485 differential bus standards. At data rates up to 100 kbps, cable lengths of up to 1200 m are achievable. The differential Schmitt trigger input provides at least 200 mV hysteresis, improving signal integrity on long industrial cable runs with significant common-mode noise.
How many unit loads can DS96176CN drive on a shared RS-485 bus?
DS96176CN presents 1 unit load to the RS-485 bus, allowing up to 32 devices to share a single twisted-pair segment without exceeding the bus drive capability. With 1/8 unit-load compatible transceivers, the same bus can support up to 256 nodes, making DS96176CN suitable for legacy Modbus RTU networks requiring broad device counts.
Why does DS96176CN keep 1 receiver active when the driver is shut down?
Keeping 1 receiver active under shutdown allows the host MCU or UART to monitor RS-485 bus traffic without asserting a driver output. This is critical in half-duplex Modbus RTU systems where the master must verify its own transmitted bytes are echoed back correctly at 9600 baud or higher, and where collision detection requires continuous bus listening.
Is DS96176CN RoHS compliant, and what package does it use for through-hole designs?
DS96176CN is not RoHS compliant and uses a standard 8-pin PDIP through-hole package with 2.54 mm lead pitch. The 8-pin DIP format fits solderless breadboards and legacy PCB designs requiring through-hole reliability, such as harsh-environment industrial controllers where solder joint durability under vibration exceeds 5 g acceleration is needed.
