It operates from a 4.75V to 5.25V supply and includes 50 mV of receiver hysteresis for noise rejection on differential buses.
This part is a 5V-only device. The supply range is tight — 4.75V to 5.25V — so a regulated 5V rail is required. It is not rated for 3.3V operation on the bus or logic side; interfacing with a 3.3V microcontroller needs level translation on the driver/receiver enable and data pins.
Yes, the SN75176BDRE4 is functionally compatible with the MAX485 — both are half-duplex RS-485 transceivers in an 8-SOIC package with a 1/1 driver/receiver count and 5V supply. The SN75176BDRE4 specifies 50 mV receiver hysteresis; the MAX485 typically lists 70 mV. Pinout is identical across the two, so it serves as a direct drop-in alternative for dual-sourcing.
