description
The SN75LBC784 performs as four independent
RS-423-B driver/receiver pairs designed to
interface data terminal equipment (DTE) with data
circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) at rates up to
120 kbps and distances to 1.2 km. The
SN75LBC784 provides an upgrade to the RS-232
serial interface and can be backward compatible
with existing serial ports while offering the higher
performance required by new faster peripherals,
such as v.34 (v.fast) modems. The RS-232
standard, and subsequent revisions, only support
data rates up to 20 kbps over about 15 meters of
cable. For RS-423-B the data rate is increased to
120 kbps and transmission distance to 1.2 km by
reducing the maximum output signal swing,
increasing the driver output current, and reducing
the receiver input voltage thresholds.

The receivers consist of differential comparators with hysteresis and resistive attenuation on the inputs. The
resistive attenuation improves the input common mode range and also provides additional protection from ESD
and over-voltage stress. The differential and common mode input impedances are sufficiently high to meet
RS-423-B. When a differential voltage input of 500 mV is applied across the entire common mode range ( see
Figure 5), the receiver characteristics and bias voltage allow the receiver to remain in its intended binary state.
The drivers meet all RS-423-B specifications with built-in current limits and thermal-overload protection.
Slew-rate controlling circuitry is included in the design, which is adjusted to suit the application by means of an
external resistor (R_ws). The slew rate controlling circuitry also has a default mode – if the R_ws pin is shorted to
5 V externally, the transistion time defaults to approximately 1.5 ms. The BIAS input, when shorted to 5 V
externally, provides the internal node voltages. The receiver is compatible to RS-232 with the use of external
input resistors to meet the RS-232 input resistance specification of 3 kΩ to 7 kΩ.
The SN75LBC784 is characterized for operation over the temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
