These devices are designed to survive overvoltage faults such as direct shorts to power supplies, mis-wiring faults, connector failures, cable crushes, and tool mis-applications. The internal current-limit circuits allow fault survivability without causing the high bus currents that otherwise might damage external components or power supplies. They are also robust to ESD events, with high levels of protection to the JEDEC or IEC human-body-model specification. These devices combine a differential driver and a differential receiver, which operate from a single power supply. The driver differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected internally to form a bus port suitable for half-duplex (two-wire bus) communication. This port features a wide common-mode voltage range, making the devices suitable for multipoint applications over long cable runs. These devices are characterized from 40C to 125C. These devices are pin-compatible with the industry-standard SN75176 transceiver, making them drop-in upgrades in most systems. These devices are fully compliant with ANSI TIA/EIA 485-A with a 5-V supply and can operate with a 3.3-V supply with reduced driver output voltage for low-power applications. For applications where operation is required over an extended common-mode voltage range, see the SN65HVD1785 (SLLS872) data sheet.
