32 Mbps half-duplex RS-485 — what the data rate buys you
That data rate puts it in the fast RS-485 tier — fast enough for Profibus DP, motor-drive encoder links, and industrial backplane communication where the bus turnaround time matters. The 35 mV receiver hysteresis cleans up noise on long cable runs without external filtering.
That range covers factory-floor cabinets, engine-bay ECUs, and outdoor telecom enclosures where the ambient can swing past 85°C. The 3.3V nominal supply is typical for modern MCU-based designs, but note the 3.6V ceiling — this part does not tolerate 5V on the supply pin.
No successor part has been announced because none is needed — this is the current-generation device.
