DS8838

DS8838 / DS8838N is a Quad Unified Bus Transceiver integrated circuit (IC). It is designed for high-speed, bidirectional data transmission in bus-organized systems. 

Technical Details & Specifications

According to technical datasheets from National Semiconductor and Texas Instruments, the DS8838N features:

• Function: Quad unified bus transceiver, meaning it contains four independent driver/receiver pairs in a single package.
• Package Type: 16-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP).
• Operating Voltage: Typically operates on a supply voltage (VCC) of 4.75V to 5.25V.
• Bus Optimization: Designed for systems with terminated 120Ω impedance lines; it includes receiver hysteresis to improve noise immunity.
• Control: Includes a two-input NOR gate that allows all four drivers to be disabled simultaneously.
• Common Use: High-speed data transmission systems where up to 27 driver/receiver pairs can share a common bus.
