DS36C278N Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The DS36C278N from Texas Instruments is a low-power CMOS transceiver designed for multipoint data transmission, compliant with EIA-RS-485 and TIA/EIA-422-B standards.

 

This half-duplex transceiver features a wide common mode voltage range of -7V to +12V and includes built-in power-up/down glitch-free circuitry. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and has a typical current consumption of 500 μA. The receiver incorporates a fail-safe mechanism for open inputs, and the device is protected by on-board thermal shutdown circuitry.

 

The DS36C278N is suitable for applications requiring robust multipoint communication. Its design prioritizes power savings, making it ideal for battery-powered or power-conscious systems. The transceiver supports up to 12 nodes with a ¼ unit load configuration.

 

Packaged in an 8-pin DIP (0.300" body), the DS36C278N is designed for through-hole mounting. It operates within an industrial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
