description
The SN75LBC776 is a low-power LinBiCMOS device that incorporates the drivers and receivers for a 9-pin
GeoPort host interface. GeoPort combines hybrid EIA/TIA-422-B and EIA/TIA-423-B drivers and receivers to
transmit data up to four megabits per second (Mbit/s) full duplex. GeoPort is a serial communications standard
that is intended to replace the RS-232, Appletalk, and LocalTalk printer ports all in one connector in addition
to providing real-time data transfer capability. It provides point-to-point connections between
GeoPort-compatible devices with data transmission rates up to 4 Mbit/s full duplex and a hot-plug feature.
Applications include connection to telephony, integrated services digital network (ISDN), digital sound and
imaging, fax-data modems, and other serial and parallel connections. The GeoPort is backwardly compatible
to both LocalTalk and AppleTalk.

CC
(SHDN) terminal is high, the charge pump is powered down and the outputs are in a high-impedance state. The
driver enable (DEN) terminal sends the outputs of the differential driver into a high-impedance state with a high
input signal. All drivers and receivers have fail-safe mechanisms to ensure a high output state when the inputs
are left open.
A switched-capacitor voltage converter generates the negative voltage required from a single 5-V supply using
four 0.1-µF capacitors, two capacitors between the C+ and C- terminals and two capacitors between V and
EE
ground.
The SN75LBC776 is characterized for operation over the 0°C to 70°C temperature range.
