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.
