SN75LBC170DWR

The SN75LBC170DWR is a high-performance differential line transceiver. It is a member of the SN75LBC17 family of transceiver ICs manufactured by Texas Instruments. This IC combines the features of both a driver and receiver, enabling it to reliably and accurately transmit data, while consuming low power. The SN75LBC170DWR is tailored to environments that require fast transmission and faithful reception.

The SN75LBC170DWR belongs in the interface category of ICs. This is because it is designed to transmit and receive signals over a communication line. It can be used to interface two different buses or processors. It is a transceiver because it combines driver and receiver functions in one package.

The SN75LBC170DWR is most commonly used in AESA radar systems, automotive applications and communication applications. The IC facilitates communication between two parts of a system by providing one-way propagation of signals. As such, it can be used as a low-voltage differential signal amplifier. It is also used in communication applications such as fiber-optic networks or video broadcasting.

The SN75LBC170DWR utilizes the current-limiting differential line transceiver operating principle. This is a suitable operating method for low-voltage, low-power communication systems. In this method, the output driver of the IC turns off after driving a positive and negative signal on its two output signals, enabling power savings. The driver also has two enable pins which can be used in half-duplex transmission. The receiver uses a differential input stage which reduces errors associated with power supply and ground noise.

The SN75LBC170DWR has an operating temperature range between 0 and 70°C. It requires a supply voltage range of 3.3 to 5.5V and a supply current of 10mA. It has a default output of 0V when powered off. It has an output drive current of ±1mA and a propagation delay of 150 ns. It is available in SOT23, SOIC and TSSOP packages.

The SN75LBC170DWR provides a reliable signal transceiver with low power requirements. It is suitable for low-voltage applications and its operating principle ensures a low-power communication system with reduced interference. It is an ideal solution for communication in AESA radar systems, automotive and communication applications.
