SN65LBC179: maximum rate of R and D lines

Part Number: SN65LBC179

Good afternoon,

I was wondering what the maximum datarate is for the R and D lines? I found reference to 10mbps in 1 place on the datasheet.

thank you

  • Hi JP,

    Since these kinds of transceiver devices do not have an internal clock, the maximum rate of operation is limited only by the output transition times. A general rule of thumb for maintaining good signal integrity would be to try to keep the transition times to less than 1/3 of the bit period. Since the maximum transition time for this device is 20 ns, it would be capable of supporting data rates up to ~16 Mbps.

    I hope this helps; please let me know if you have further questions.

    Regards,
    Max
