The SN75176A is a bidirectional transceiver that operates from a single 5V supply. It combines a 3-state differential line driver and differential line receiver. The driver can handle loads up to 60mA and features current limiting and thermal shutdown protection. The receiver has a minimum input impedance of 12kΩ and input sensitivity of ±200mV. It is designed for use on multipoint bus lines in noisy environments.
