The SN75HVD1176DR from Texas Instruments is a high-speed RS-422/RS-485 transceiver designed for robust differential communication in industrial and commercial applications. Housed in an 8-pin SOIC package, this half-duplex transceiver integrates one driver and one receiver, supporting data rates up to 40 Mbps. Operating within a 4.75V to 5.25V supply range, it ensures reliable performance in environments with 0°C to 70°C ambient temperatures. The device features 40 mV of receiver hysteresis, enhancing noise immunity in electrically noisy conditions. Although marked as obsolete, it remains a viable solution for legacy systems requiring RoHS3-compliant, REACH-unaffected components.
The SN75HVD1176DR offers a balance of speed, noise immunity, and compliance, making it a pragmatic choice for industrial and telecom applications. While obsolete, its 40 Mbps capability and robust hysteresis provide advantages over slower transceivers. Engineers seeking a drop-in solution for legacy or cost-sensitive designs will find this transceiver a reliable option, despite newer alternatives being available.
