SN65176BD

SN65176BD is a Texas Instruments part in the SN65 family of differential bus transceivers. It provides the interface between a microcontroller’s logic-level signals and a differential serial bus (RS-485/RS-422 style). The device typically includes both a differential transmitter and a differential receiver, with enable controls to turn the transmitter and/or receiver on or off, enabling robust multi-point communication over twisted-pair cables.
Common features (as with SN65 devices) include fail-safe receiver outputs when the bus is idle, ESD/short-circuit protection, and single-supply operation in a compact package (BD suffix indicates a specific package/revision). Applications include industrial automation, building management, data acquisition, and any system requiring reliable differential serial links.
For exact electrical characteristics, pinout, recommended operating conditions, and package details, consult the TI SN65176BD datasheet.

I can give equivalents, but I need the device function. SN65176BD could be an 8‑bit bus transceiver, a multiplexer, or a CAN transceiver, etc. Please share the datasheet or confirm: function, voltage, package, speed. Once known, I’ll provide direct cross‑references (TI, NXP, Onsemi, Renesas) and suitable alternates with package and speed.

SN65176BD is a high‑speed, single‑supply RS‑485/RS‑422 transceiver. Key features:
- Half‑duplex differential driver/receiver
- 5V single‑supply operation; 8‑pin package
- Independent DE (driver enable) and RE (receiver enable) with 3‑state outputs
- 1/8 unit‑load on the bus; supports multi‑drop networks
- Failsafe receiver: RO goes high when inputs are open, shorted, or idle
- Wide receiver common‑mode range (-7V to +12V)
- Data rates up to about 10 Mbps
- Bus protection: ESD/short‑circuit tolerance on A/B pins
- Industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C)
Ideal for RS‑485/RS‑422 networks, point‑to‑point or multi‑node configurations. For exact electrical specs, refer to the datasheet.

8 pins. It is a single-channel RS-485/RS-422 transceiver with a driver and a receiver. Pins: DI (driver input), RO (receiver output), DE (driver enable), RE (receiver enable), A and B (diff bus), Vcc, GND. Provides 3-state outputs and interfaces TTL/CMOS to a differential bus.

- Manufacturer: Texas Instruments (TI)
- Company type: American multinational semiconductor company that designs and manufactures analog and digital integrated circuits and related electronics.

SN65176BD is a CAN bus transceiver. Common application areas include:
- Automotive in-vehicle networks (ECUs, body electronics, engine management, gateways)
- Industrial automation and control (PLCs, motor controllers, CANopen/DeviceNet)
- Data acquisition and instrumentation requiring robust CAN physical layer
- Any system needing reliable, high‑speed CAN communication between microcontrollers and CAN networks

Assuming TI’s SN65176BD, the common package is a 20‑pin TSSOP/SSOP. For the exact package (pin count/land pattern), check the specific datasheet revision.
