Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SN75176AD used for?
The SN75176AD is a half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 differential bus transceiver used for long-distance, noise-immune serial communication. It is widely used in industrial PLCs, building automation, motor drive controllers, and instrumentation systems where reliable data transmission over twisted-pair cable is required.
What are the key electrical specifications of SN75176AD?
The SN75176AD operates from a 5V supply (4.75V to 5.25V), supports data rates up to 10Mbps, has a driver output current of 60mA, and works over an industrial temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees C. It features one driver and one receiver in a half-duplex configuration.
What package is the SN75176AD available in?
The SN75176AD comes in an 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package), suitable for through-hole PCB assembly. The D suffix in the part number denotes the SOIC package variant from TI naming convention.
What are compatible replacement parts for SN75176AD?
Compatible replacements include the SN75176BD (improved version with wider common-mode range), MAX485, and SP485. These parts share the same RS-485 half-duplex transceiver function and 8-pin pinout, though operating parameters may differ slightly.
Is the SN75176AD RoHS compliant?
Yes, the SN75176AD is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Texas Instruments has transitioned this part to meet RoHS Directive requirements, making it suitable for environmentally conscious designs and products sold in the EU market.
