SN65176BDRE4

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN65176BDRE4 is a half-duplex RS-485 differential bus transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It integrates one driver and one receiver within an SOIC-8 surface-mount package. The device operates on a single 5 V supply, with a specified voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. It supports data transmission rates up to 10 Mb/s and includes a shutdown mode to minimize power consumption. The component functions reliably across an extended industrial temperature range from -40°C to +105°C. It draws approximately 70 mA of operating current and lacks integrated ESD protection circuitry.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed data communication at rates up to 10 Mb/s for efficient network throughput.
• Features a dedicated shutdown control pin to reduce power consumption during idle periods.
• Designed for robust operation in harsh environments with an extended temperature rating.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial automation networks requiring reliable multi-point communication
• Building automation systems utilizing RS-485 protocols
• Process control instrumentation interfaces

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the RE4 suffix indicates lead-free compliance and RoHS adherence when sourcing. Confirm the SOIC-8 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Ensure the design accounts for the absence of internal ESD protection if external safeguards are not implemented. Validate the 5 V supply requirements against the system power rails.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring standard RS-485 half-duplex connectivity without built-in ESD protection. Compare against variants like the SN65176BDR to confirm identical electrical specifications. Consider thermal management needs given the 105°C maximum operating limit. Verify that the 70 mA quiescent current fits within the system power budget constraints.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx5176B family of differential bus transceivers from Texas Instruments. It serves as a commercial-grade variant of the military-spec SN55176B. The RE4 suffix specifically denotes environmental compliance features such as lead-free construction. It shares functional similarities with other industry-standard RS-485 transceivers while maintaining TI-specific manufacturing characteristics.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

SN65176BDR is a direct functional equivalent within the same product line. SN75176BDR offers similar performance but typically specifies a lower commercial temperature range. SN65LBC176A provides enhanced ESD protection capabilities compared to this model.
