The SN75LBC179ADR can support data rates up to 100 Mbps.
Yes, the SN75LBC179ADR can be used in a multi-point bus configuration, but it requires an external bias resistor to ensure proper operation.
To ensure proper termination, a 120-ohm resistor should be connected between the RX+ and RX- pins, and another 120-ohm resistor should be connected between the TX+ and TX- pins.
The maximum cable length that can be used with the SN75LBC179ADR depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. However, as a general rule, cable lengths up to 10 meters are typically supported.
Yes, the SN75LBC179ADR can be used in a hot-swap application, but it requires proper power sequencing and voltage regulation to ensure reliable operation.
