SN75C1168PWR    – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The Texas Instruments SN75C1168PWR is a single, low-power, 3-state, octal bus transceiver designed for bidirectional data transmission in various bus architectures. It operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply voltage, making it suitable for both low-voltage and standard logic systems. Each of the eight independent transceivers features 3-state outputs, enabling bus sharing and efficient system control. The device boasts a typical propagation delay of 15ns and a maximum current consumption of 15mA, contributing to low power consumption in high-speed applications._x000D_

Packaged in a space-saving 20-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), the SN75C1168PWR facilitates PCB density optimization. Its key advantage lies in its ability to handle both data input and output simultaneously on a shared bus, eliminating the need for separate drivers and receivers. Common applications include connecting microcontrollers to peripherals, interfacing between different logic families, and implementing data acquisition systems where bidirectional communication is essential. The low-power consumption and fast propagation delay make it ideal for battery-powered and high-speed data transfer applications requiring minimal power loss. The 3-state outputs ensure reliable bus management and prevent data conflicts during system initialization or fault conditions.
