500 kbps and 15 mV hysteresis — what the numbers mean for the bus
At 500 kbps the part is sized for noise-immune links where cable length trades off against baud rate. The 15 mV receiver hysteresis filters out low-amplitude noise on idle or lightly loaded buses.
Package and rework — 10-TDFN with exposed pad
The 10-TDFN (3x3) package has an exposed pad that must be soldered to a ground plane for thermal and electrical performance. Pin 1 is marked by a dot on the top of the package.
