RS-423-B driver and receiver with integratedloopback function. The operation of the
SN75LBC786 is closely based on that of the SN75186. In normal operation, the device performs as four
independent RS-423-B driver/receiver pairs designed to interface data-terminal equipment (DTE) with data
circuit-terminating equipment (DCE). In loopback mode, the signal from each driver output is fed back via
special circuitry into its associated receiver input, removing the need to locally disconnect cables and install a
loopback connector. The receiver output signal is the same as the driver input signal.
The SN75LBC786 is characterized for operation over the temperature range of 0°C to 70°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.
