DS75150N

Overview

The DS75150N is a dual monolithic line driver manufactured by National Semiconductor, now part of Texas Instruments. It is designed to satisfy the requirements of the standard interface between data terminal equipment and data communication equipment. The device utilizes bipolar technology and is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP package with through-hole terminals spaced at 2.54 mm. It operates within a commercial temperature range of -0 °C to +70 °C.

Feature Summary

• Dual monolithic line driver architecture
• Designed for standard data terminal equipment interfaces
• Bipolar logic technology implementation

Applications

• Data terminal equipment interfaces
• Data communication equipment connections
• Standard serial communication link drivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer source carefully, as National Semiconductor was acquired by Texas Instruments. Confirm that the specific DS75150N variant matches the required bipolar DIP-8 package specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing TTL-to-MOS translation requirements if used in mixed-signal environments. Check for RoHS compliance status, as original listings may indicate non-compliance depending on production era.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual line driver is required for standard data terminal interfaces. The bipolar technology suits applications where specific drive characteristics are needed. Consider the 8-pin DIP form factor for through-hole mounting constraints. Evaluate thermal performance within the commercial temperature range for the intended operating environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the DS75150 series of dual line drivers. It serves as a bridge between data terminal equipment and communication systems. The N suffix denotes the plastic DIP package version. Similar parts in the family include differential drivers like the DS75113, but this specific model focuses on single-ended dual line driving capabilities for standard interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitutes include the SN55110A from Texas Instruments, which offers dual line driver functionality. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Other similar devices include the DS75110, though functional differences may exist.
