SN75160BN – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The Texas Instruments SN75160BN is a quad, single-supply, 3-state, bus transceiver designed for bidirectional data transmission in high-speed, low-power applications. It operates from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage, making it suitable for various battery-powered systems. Each transceiver features independent input and output enable pins (OE) allowing for flexible control over data flow. The device employs a robust 3-state output stage, minimizing bus contention and enabling efficient system-level control. Packaged in a space-saving 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), the SN75160BN boasts high-speed operation, typically achieving data rates exceeding 20 Mbps. Its low-power consumption, typically under 50mW in operation, makes it ideal for portable and embedded applications. Common use cases include industrial control systems, data acquisition systems, and high-speed peripheral interfacing where bidirectional data transfer with independent enable control is crucial. The SN75160BN’s advantages lie in its compact size, single-supply operation, and robust 3-state output, simplifying circuit design and improving overall system efficiency and reliability. Its high-speed capability further enhances its suitability for demanding applications.
