SN75LBC179P

Texas Instruments · RS-485 / RS-422 ICs · PDIP-8

SN75LBC179P from Texas Instruments, in a PDIP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VCC power_in 5 V supply pin, with a recommended range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and an absolute maximum range of -0.3 V to 7 V.
2 R output RS485 receiver logic output, rated for a high-level output current of -8 mA and a low-level output current of 8 mA.
3 D input RS485 driver logic input, with VIH of at least 2 V and VIL of at most 0.8 V.
4 GND power_in Ground reference; the datasheet states all voltage values are measured with respect to GND.
5 Y output Non-inverting RS485 bus driver output, rated for bus voltage from -7 V to 12 V and output current of -60 mA (high) to 60 mA (low).
6 Z output Inverted RS485 bus driver output, rated for bus voltage from -7 V to 12 V and output current of -60 mA (high) to 60 mA (low).
7 B input Inverted RS485 bus receiver input, rated for bus voltage from -7 V to 12 V.
8 A input Non-inverting RS485 bus receiver input, rated for bus voltage from -7 V to 12 V.
