SN65C1168E: SN65C1168E channel application

Part Number: SN65C1168E
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN65LBC174A

Hi,

SN65C1168EPWR is two line drivers and two line receivers.

Can I use pins 1, 2, 3, and pins 5, 6, 7 as the line driver?

In this way, I have four channels of line drivers to use.

    Hi Rock,

    No, the receiver pins on SN65C1168E cannot be used as drivers. 

    TI offers a variety of quadruple differential line drivers such as SN65LBC174A that can be used in this way. You can search our RS-485 portfolio here on ti.com and search by the number of transmitters/receivers you are looking for.

    Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Regards,
    Eric Schott
