SN75172DWR datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN75172DWR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum data rate that the SN75172DWR can support?
  The SN75172DWR can support data rates up to 100 Mbps.
• Is the SN75172DWR compatible with other RS-485 transceivers?
  Yes, the SN75172DWR is compatible with other RS-485 transceivers that comply with the EIA/TIA-485 standard.
• How do I ensure reliable data transmission over long cables with the SN75172DWR?
  To ensure reliable data transmission over long cables, use twisted-pair cables, keep the cable length as short as possible, and use termination resistors at the ends of the cable.
• Can I use the SN75172DWR in a multi-point configuration?
  Yes, the SN75172DWR can be used in a multi-point configuration, but it's recommended to use a repeater or a hub to ensure signal integrity and to prevent signal degradation.
• What is the maximum number of nodes that can be connected to a single bus using the SN75172DWR?
  The maximum number of nodes that can be connected to a single bus using the SN75172DWR is 32, assuming a 120-ohm termination resistor at each end of the bus.
