The maximum cable length depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. However, as a general rule, the SN75157PE4 can support cable lengths up to 100 meters (328 feet) at a data rate of 10 Mbps. For longer cable lengths, repeaters or hubs may be necessary.
The SN75157PE4 is designed for full-duplex operation, but it can also be used in half-duplex mode with some external circuitry. However, the device's internal loopback function is only available in full-duplex mode.
The SN75157PE4 has built-in common-mode noise rejection and EMI filtering capabilities, which help to improve the device's noise immunity and reduce the risk of data errors. Additionally, the device's differential signaling and twisted-pair cable requirements help to further reduce the impact of EMI.
The SN75157PE4 has a typical power consumption of 220 mW (VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C). This is relatively low compared to other transceivers, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications. However, the actual power consumption may vary depending on the specific operating conditions and the system's power supply design.
Yes, the SN75157PE4 can be used in industrial or automotive applications. The device is rated for operation over an extended temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. However, the specific operating temperature range may vary depending on the application and the system's design requirements.
