# SN75LBC184-TD

**TDSEMIC** · RS-485 / RS-422 ICs · DIP-8

SN75LBC184-TD from TDSEMIC, in a DIP-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 | RO | output | Receiver output, high when A is at least 200 mV above B and low when A is 200 mV below B, and high-impedance when RE is high. |
| 2 | RE | input | Active-low receiver enable; when RE is high the receiver output is high-impedance. |
| 3 | DE | input | Active-high driver enable; when DE is low the driver outputs are high-impedance, and when DE is high the chip is in transmit state. |
| 4 | DI | input | Driver data input; DI low gives A high and B low, DI high gives the opposite. |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Ground, power supply negative terminal. |
| 6 | A | bidirectional | Non-inverting receiver input and non-inverting driver output (the datasheet describes A as the positive receiver input and positive driver output). |
| 7 | B | bidirectional | Inverting receiver input and inverting driver output. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Positive power supply terminal; absolute maximum +5 V. |
