SN65LBC179: Multipoint Data Transmission

Part Number: SN65LBC179

Hi,

It is described that "Multipoint Data Transmission" on the datasheet.

However, this device doesn't have output hi-z mode.

How can we construct "multipoint data transmission"?

Best Regards,

Kuramochi

    Hello Kuramochi-san,

    This device could be used as a "master" node in a multi-point full-duplex bus.  It could use the Y/Z output pair to broadcast messages downstream to multiple slave nodes, and use the A/B input pair to receive data back from those slaves.  The transceiver used on the slave nodes in this case would need to have the ability to enter the high-Z state in order to avoid bus contention on the upstream data path.  Please let me know if that isn't clear to you or if you have any further questions.
