SN75158P datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN75158P Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum data rate that the SN75158P can support?
  The SN75158P can support data rates up to 10 Mbps.
• Can the SN75158P be used in a multi-point configuration?
  Yes, the SN75158P can be used in a multi-point configuration, but it requires an external resistor network to terminate the bus.
• How do I ensure reliable operation of the SN75158P in a noisy environment?
  To ensure reliable operation in a noisy environment, use proper shielding, grounding, and decoupling, and consider using a common-mode choke or ferrite bead to filter out noise.
• What is the maximum cable length that can be used with the SN75158P?
  The maximum cable length depends on the data rate and cable characteristics, but as a general rule, cable lengths up to 100 meters are possible at lower data rates (e.g., 9600 bps).
• Can the SN75158P be used in a half-duplex configuration?
  Yes, the SN75158P can be used in a half-duplex configuration, but it requires an external switch or multiplexer to control the direction of data transmission.
