RS-485 differential transceiverThe SN75LBC184 is the first '176 standard footprint RS-485 differential transceiver to offer integrated transient voltage protection. It, and its companion device, the SN65LBC184, provide significant protection from large over-voltage transients on the bus pins that can be caused by secondary effects of a lightning strike or power system switching disturbances.These devices are well-suited for electrically noisy environments requiring large over-voltage and common mode swing protection. Typical applications include industrial equipment, alarm systems, telecommunications and computers. The devices are available now from Texas Instruments and authorized distributors.

Features
A/D convertersThe TLV1544 and TLV1548 are low-power, low-voltage, 10-bit serial A/D converters that can be connected directly to DSPs and microprocessors without external components.These devices operate from a wide range of single-supply voltages (2.7-V to 5.5-V) and offer software programmable power-down mode supply current. Both devices feature a simple direct-connection serial interface to either DSPs or microprocessor. These signals provide direct four-wire SPI™ compatible interface to the serial port of a host microprocessor or DSP. When interfaced with a TMS320 DSP, an additional frame sync input is used to indicate the start of a serial data frame. The TLV1544 features an analog input mux that lets the user select among four different analog inputs and three internally generated self-test voltage levels. The TLV1548 lets the user select among eight analog inputs and the same three internally generated self-test voltage levels.
