Frequently Asked Questions
What interface standard does the SN75160BDW support?
The SN75160BDW is designed for the IEEE-488 General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) standard. It provides octal (8-bit) bidirectional transceiver functionality compliant with IEEE-488, enabling communication between controllers, talkers, and listeners in a GPIB instrument network.
What is the supply voltage and logic family for SN75160BDW?
The SN75160BDW operates from a single 5V supply and uses TTL-compatible logic levels. It features Schmitt trigger inputs (hysteresis) to improve noise immunity on the bus, and the maximum high-level input current is 20 µA, minimizing bus loading.
What package does the SN75160BDW come in and what are its key dimensions?
The SN75160BDW is offered in a 20-pin Small Outline IC (SOIC) package, JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G20. This surface-mount package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained PCB designs and is compatible with standard SMT assembly processes.
Can the SN75160BDW be replaced with a modern equivalent?
Yes, the SN75160BDW is functionally compatible with other GPIB bus transceivers such as the SN75161B (with talk/listen control) and the SN75162B (which includes the control bus lines). Texas Instruments also offers the equivalent in TSSOP packaging for more compact designs.
