4/5 channel count — BOM consolidation
Four drivers and five receivers in one 28-pin SSOP package replaces multiple single-channel transceivers. The 28-SSOP footprint (0.209" body width, 5.30 mm) is a standard outline.
Active lifecycle, RoHS3 compliant
This part carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. No end-of-life notice on record.
Commercial temperature range — indoor use only
Rated 0°C to 70°C operating temperature, so this is a commercial-grade part. It belongs in office equipment, retail terminals, or lab gear — not in a motor drive cabinet or under-hood automotive. If your application sees temperature swings below freezing or above 70°C, look at the industrial-temperature variant in this family.
