description

The SN75LBC777 is a low-power LinBiCMOS
device that incorporate the drivers and receivers
for a 9-pin GeoPort peripheral interface. GeoPort
combines hybrid EIA/TIA-422-B and EIA/
TIA-423-B drivers and receivers to transmit data
up to four-Mbit/s full duplex. GeoPort is a serial
communications standard that is intended to
replace the RS-232, AppleTalk, and printer ports
all in one connector in addition to providing
real-time data transfer capability. The
SN75LBC777 provides point-to-point connec­tions between GeoPort-compatible devices with
data transmission rates up to 4-Mbit/s full duplex
over a 4-foot cable. Applications include connec­tion to telephone, integrated services digital
network (ISDN), digital sound and imaging,
fax-data modems, and other traditional serial and
parallel connections. The GeoPort is backwardly
compatible to both LocalT alk and AppleT alk LANs.

While the SN75LBC777 is powered off (V

CC

= 0)
the outputs are in a high-impedance state. When
the shutdown (SHDN) terminal is high, the charge
pump is powered down and the outputs are in a
high-impedance state. When high, the driver
enable (DEN

) terminal puts the outputs of the

differential driver into a high-impedance state.

Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of
Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

description (continued)

A switched-capacitor voltage converter generates the negative voltage required from a single 5-V supply using
two 0.33-µF capacitors. One capacitor is between the C+ and C– terminals and the other is between V

EE

and

ground.
The SN75LBC777 is characterized for operation over the 0°C to 70°C temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

NOTES: 1. All voltages values are with respect to the network ground terminal unless otherwise noted.

2. This rating is measured using MIL-STD-883C Method, 3015.7.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

T exas Instruments (TI) reserves the right to make changes to its products or to discontinue any semiconductor
product or service without notice, and advises its customers to obtain the latest version of relevant information
to verify, before placing orders, that the information being relied on is current and complete.

TI warrants performance of its semiconductor products and related software to the specifications applicable at
the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are
utilized to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Specific testing of all parameters of each
device is not necessarily performed, except those mandated by government requirements.

Certain applications using semiconductor products may involve potential risks of death, personal injury, or
severe property or environmental damage (“Critical Applications”).

TI SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS ARE NOT DESIGNED, INTENDED, AUTHORIZED, OR WARRANTED
TO BE SUITABLE FOR USE IN LIFE-SUPPORT APPLICATIONS, DEVICES OR SYSTEMS OR OTHER
CRITICAL APPLICATIONS.

Inclusion of TI products in such applications is understood to be fully at the risk of the customer. Use of TI
products in such applications requires the written approval of an appropriate TI officer. Questions concerning
potential risk applications should be directed to TI through a local SC sales office.

In order to minimize risks associated with the customer’s applications, adequate design and operating
safeguards should be provided by the customer to minimize inherent or procedural hazards.

TI assumes no liability for applications assistance, customer product design, software performance, or
infringement of patents or services described herein. Nor does TI warrant or represent that any license, either
express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other intellectual property
right of TI covering or relating to any combination, machine, or process in which such semiconductor products
or services might be or are used.
