SN75177BDR datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN75177BDR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum data rate that the SN75177BDR can support?
  The SN75177BDR can support data rates up to 10 Mbps.
• Can the SN75177BDR be used in a multi-point configuration?
  Yes, the SN75177BDR can be used in a multi-point configuration, but it requires an external biasing network to ensure proper operation.
• How do I ensure reliable operation of the SN75177BDR in a noisy environment?
  To ensure reliable operation in a noisy environment, it is recommended to use a shielded cable, keep the cable length as short as possible, and use a common-mode choke or ferrite bead to filter out electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• What is the recommended termination scheme for the SN75177BDR?
  The recommended termination scheme for the SN75177BDR is a 120-ohm termination resistor at the receiving end of the cable, and a 1-kohm pull-up resistor to VCC at the transmitting end.
• Can the SN75177BDR be used in a half-duplex configuration?
  Yes, the SN75177BDR can be used in a half-duplex configuration by using the RE (Receiver Enable) input to switch between transmit and receive modes.
