Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN75189

Hi,

I have a question about SN75189.
Could you please see Figure 1 of the SN75189 data sheet?
http://focus.tij.co.jp/jp/lit/ds/symlink/sn75189.pdf

What is voltage range of "Vc"?

Could you please teach me?
Thanks in advance,

Toshiya

Hello Toshiya-san,

Response control pin voltage is always less than +/-1V because of the input transistor's base emitter junction and a diode to ground. Therefore current, not voltage, controls the threshold voltage. This means that any voltage is allowed for "Vc” provided the series resistor limits the current to a safe level, less than +/-10mA.

Ron M.

Hello Ron-san,

Thanks for your explanation.

About "+/-10mA".
Is it an ability value?

Toshiya.

Toshiya-san,

1) 10mA of current is considered safe and non destructive on clamped input pins.
2) 10mA is a very large shift in receiver threshold offset; it is much more than normally required.
