DS96177
RS-485/RS-422 Differential Bus Repeater
General Description
The DS96177 Differential Bus Repeater is a monolithic inte-
grated device designed for one-way data communication on
multipoint bus transmission lines. This device is designed for
balanced transmission bus line applications and meets EIA
Standard RS-485 and RS-422A. The device is designed to
improve the performance of the data communication over
long bus lines. The DS96177 has an active high Enable.
The DS96177 features positive and negative current limiting
and TRI-STATE
outputs for the receiver and driver. The re-
ceiver features high input impedance, input hysteresis for in-
creased noise immunity, and input sensitivity of 200 mV over
a common mode input voltage range of -12V to +12V. The
driver features thermal shutdown for protection from line
fault conditions. Thermal shutdown is designed to occur at a
junction temperature of approximately 160C. The driver is
designed to drive current loads up to 60 mA maximum.
The DS96177 is designed for optimum performance when
used on transmission buses employing the DS96172 and
DS96174 differential line drivers, DS96173 and DS96175
differential line receivers, or DS96176 differential bus trans-
ceivers.

Note 2: "Absolute Maximum Ratings" are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the devices
should be operated at these limits. The tables of "Electrical Characteristics" provide conditions for actual device operation.
Note 3: Unless otherwise specified Min/Max limits apply across the 0C to +70C range for the DS96177. All typicals are given for V
CC
= 5V and T
A
= 25C.
Note 4: All currents into the device pins are positive; all currents out of the device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise specified.
Note 5:
|V
OD
| and
|V
OC
| are the changes in magnitude of V
OD
, V
OC
respectively, that occur when the input is changed from a high level to a low level.
Note 6: In EIA Standards RS-422A and RS-485, V
OC
, which is the average of the two output voltages with respect to ground, is called output offset voltage, V
OS
.
Note 7: The algebraic convention, when the less positive (more negative) limit is designated minimum, is used in this data sheet for common mode input voltage
and threshold voltage levels only.

Note 8: Hysteresis is the difference between the positive-going input threshold voltage, V
T+
, and the negative going input threshold voltage, V
T-
.
Note 9: Refer to EIA Standards RS-485 for exact conditions.
Note 10: Only one output at a time should be shorted.
