Quad RS-422/RS-485 receiver for 3.3V differential links
It integrates four independent receivers in a single 16-SOIC package, each with 50 mV of built-in hysteresis to reject noise on long cable runs without external components.
This is a clean signal for both new-design qualification and ongoing production replenishment — no rush to stockpile or qualify a substitute.
50 mV hysteresis — what it buys on the bus
The 50 mV of receiver hysteresis is a practical advantage on electrically noisy RS-485 buses. It prevents output chatter when the differential input sits near the switching threshold, which is common on idle or lightly loaded buses. This is a built-in noise margin that would otherwise require external Schmitt-trigger or passive filtering. For a pure receiver (no driver on chip), this hysteresis is the primary parameter that determines signal integrity at the receiving end.
Package and footprint — 16-SOIC narrow body
The Tape & Reel (TR) packaging option suits automated pick-and-place assembly. The footprint is standard SOIC-16 with 1.27 mm pitch; no exposed thermal pad, so standard land patterns apply.
