●DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
●The SN75976A is an improved replacement for the industry"s first 9-channel 485 transceiver – the SN75LBC976. The A version offers improved switching performance, a smaller package, and higher ESD protection. The SN75976A is offered in two versions. The "976A2 skew limits of 4 ns for the differential drivers and 5 ns for the differential receivers complies with the recommended skew budget of the Fast-20 SCSI standard for data transfer rates up to 20 million transfers per second. The "976A1 supports the Fast SCSI skew budget for 10 million transfers per second. The skew limit ensures that the propagation delay times, not only from channel-to-channel but from device-to-device, are closely matched for the tight skew budgets associated with high-speed parallel data buses.
