LMS75LBC176
Differential Bus Transceivers
General Description
The LMS75LBC176 is a differential bus/line transceiver de-
signed for bidirectional data communication on multipoint
bus transmission lines. It is designed for balanced transmis-
sion lines. It meets TIA/EIA RS485 and ISO 8482:1987(E).
The LMS75LBC176 combines a TRI-STATE™ differential
line driver and differential input receiver, both of which oper-
ate from a single 5.0V power supply. The driver and receiver
have an active high and active low enable, respectively, that
can be externally connected to function as a direction con-
trol. The driver and receiver differential inputs are internally
connected to form differential input/output (I/O) bus ports
that are designed to offer minimum loading to bus whenever
the driver is disabled or when V_CC = 0V. These ports feature
wide positive and negative common mode voltage ranges,
making the device suitable for multipoint applications in
noisy environments. The LMS75LBC176 is available in a
8-Pin SOIC package. It is a drop-in socket replacement to
TI’s SN75LBC176.

Typical Application
20047901
A typical multipoint application is shown in the above figure. Terminating resistors, RT, are typically required but only located at the two ends of the cable.
Pull up and pull down resistors maybe required at the end of the bus to provide failsafe biasing. The biasing resistors provide a bias to the cable when all
drivers are in TRI-STATE, See National Application Note, AN-847 for further information.
