description

The SN65LBC179, SN65LBC179Q, and
SN75LBC179 differential driver and receiver pairs
are monolithic integrated circuits designed for
bidirectional data communication over long
cables that take on the characteristics of
transmission lines. They are balanced, or
differential, voltage mode devices that meet or
exceed the requirements of industry standards
ANSI RS-485 and ISO 8482:1987(E). Both
devices are designed using TI’s proprietary
LinBiCMOS with the low power consumption of
CMOS and the precision and robustness of
bipolar transistors in the same circuit.

The SN65LBC179, SN65LBC179Q, and
SN75LBC179 combine a differential line driver
and differential line receiver and operate from a
single 5-V supply. The driver differential outputs
and the receiver differential inputs are connected
to separate terminals for full-duplex operation and
are designed to present minimum loading to the
bus when powered off (V

CC

= 0). These parts
feature a wide common-mode voltage range
making them suitable for point-to-point or
multipoint data bus applications. The devices also
provide positive- and negative-current limiting
and thermal shutdown for protection from line fault
conditions. The line driver shuts down at a junction
temperature of approximately 172°C.

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 voltage values are with respect to GND.

2. The maximum operating junction temperature is internally limited. Uses the dissipation rating table to operate below this
temperature.

All typical values are at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C.

NOTES: 3. The minimum VOD specification of the SN65179 may not fully comply with ANSI RS-485 at operating temperatures below 0°C.

System designers should take the possibly lower output signal into account in determining the maximum signal transmission
distance.

4. ∆|VOD| and ∆|VOC| are the changes in the steady-state magnitude of VOD and VOC, respectively, that occur when the input is
changed from a high level to a low level.
