DS3486MX/NOPB

Overview

The DS3486MX/NOPB is a quad RS-422/RS-423 line receiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and supports data rates up to 10 Mb/s. The device features four independent receivers with tri-state outputs, housed in a 16-pin SOIC package. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports RS-422 and RS-423 communication protocols
• Provides four independent differential line receivers
• Features tri-state output capability for bus sharing

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring differential signaling
• Data acquisition networks using RS-422 standards
• Telecommunications equipment input stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the component status as discontinued or obsolete through official Texas Instruments channels before procurement planning. Confirm that the specific suffix indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free manufacturing. Ensure the package type matches the target PCB footprint requirements exactly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad receiver configuration is required for RS-422 or RS-423 interfaces. Compare against the DS3486M variant if package differences are critical. Verify that the 10 Mb/s speed rating meets the system's maximum data throughput requirements without signal integrity issues.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DS3486 family of line receivers. It serves as the receiving counterpart to drivers like the DS3487. The MX suffix denotes the surface-mount SOIC package variant. It is functionally equivalent to other industry-standard quad receivers in the same protocol class.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers include DS3486M/NOPB and SN75176DR. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
