RS-485 full-duplex transceiver for 50 Mbps industrial links
Typical applications include factory automation, motor drives, building automation, and telecom backplane links where high-speed differential signalling over twisted-pair cable is required.
At 50 Mbps the SN65HVD1476DGSR handles fast point-to-point or multi-drop links where throughput matters — think high-resolution encoder feedback or aggregated sensor data streams. The full-duplex capability means simultaneous transmit and receive on separate twisted pairs, doubling effective throughput compared to half-duplex parts that must turn the bus around. The 70 mV hysteresis helps maintain signal integrity on electrically noisy factory floors where common-mode noise can reach several volts.
Package and footprint for space-constrained boards
Supply voltage tolerance from 3V to 3.6V allows operation from a nominal 3.3V rail with margin for ripple and load transients.
There is no last-time-buy clock running, which simplifies BOM planning for production runs and long-life equipment. For dual-sourcing or a drop-in alternative, the base product number 65HVD1476 covers the family; verify pin-compatibility with other 10-pin VSSOP RS-485 transceivers from TI if a second source is needed.
