SN65LBC173ADG4

The SN65LBC173ADG4 is an advanced integrated device, which combines three devices in one. It contains a differential line driver, a differential line receiver and a transceiver, all in a single chip. With its flexibility and high speed performance, it is suitable for various types of industrial and automotive applications.

Application Field

The SN65LBC173ADG4 is used in a variety of industrial and automotive applications, mainly as an interface between a low-speed and high-speed device, or as an interface between microprocessors and serial communication systems. In addition, it can be used to replace the use of separate line driver, line receiver, and transceiver components, which provides a low cost, reliable and flexible data transmission solution.

Working Principle

The SN65LBC173ADG4 contains three main components, the differential line driver, differential line receiver, and transceiver. The line driver is responsible for sending data from one device to another in the form of a differential voltage. The voltage level and direction of the signal is determined by logic level of the device’s output pin. Additionally, the line driver can also act as a buffer amplifier, reducing the input current to the device and enabling longer transmission distances. The line receiver is responsible for converting the differential voltage signal back into a logic level for the device to interpret. Finally, the transceiver is responsible for acting as a buffer between the two devices, to help protect the stage from interference from the rest of the system.

In summary, the SN65LBC173ADG4 is an integrated device with the ability to replace separate line driver, line receiver, and transceiver components. It is suitable for industrial and automotive applications and is able to provide reliable and flexible data transmission solution.
