Dual line receiver in 14-DIP
The SN75182N is a dual line receiver from Texas Instruments, designed to convert differential or single-ended input signals to logic levels on a 5V rail. It sits in the Sensors & Transducers category but is fundamentally a logic-level interface part — think RS-422/RS-485 receive side or general-purpose line termination. Two receivers in one package, zero drivers — it's a receive-only device, so your BOM still needs a separate driver or transceiver for bidirectional buses.
Supply and temperature envelope
Runs on a 4.5V to 5.5V supply — a tight 5V ±10 % window. Don't try to drop it on a 3.3V rail without a level shifter. Fine for office equipment, test benches, or indoor control panels. Not for an engine bay or outdoor cabinet where the ambient hits 85°C.
Package and mounting — through-hole legacy
14-pin DIP, 0.300-inch body width, 7.62 mm row spacing. Through-hole mounting — the 14-PDIP footprint is a standard 0.100-inch pitch socket or solder-in layout. No fine-pitch soldering issues, but it takes up more board area than an SOIC. Supplied in a tube, not tape-and-reel. If your pick-and-place line expects reels, factor in a tube-to-reel transfer step or order a different package variant.
Lifecycle and production status
Texas Instruments continues to manufacture this part, so you can commit it to a BOM without an immediate end-of-life risk. ROHS3 compliant — no lead in the solder finish, which matters for EU and California regulatory compliance.
