Product details

At 25 Mbps the SN65HVD20DR can push a full-duplex RS-422 link across tens of metres of twisted pair before signal degradation forces a lower rate or a repeater. For RS-485 multi-drop networks the practical cable length at 25 Mbps is shorter — roughly 10 to 20 metres depending on stub length and termination — because reflections and common-mode loading accumulate with each node. The 130 mV hysteresis helps the receiver stay clean on a noisy factory floor.

5 V supply only — not a 3.3 V part

It is not rated for 3.3 V operation. If your system runs a 3.3 V bus, look at the SN65HVD23x family or the SN65HVD178x series, which include 3.3 V compatible options with similar data rates. The 5 V rail gives better noise margin on the differential bus, but it rules out direct connection to a 3.3 V UART without level translation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum data rate of SN65HVD20DR?

The SN65HVD20DR is rated for 25 Mbps. At that speed the practical cable length depends on the bus topology — full-duplex RS-422 can run tens of metres, while RS-485 multi-drop networks need shorter stubs and proper termination to maintain signal integrity.

Is SN65HVD20DR compatible with 3.3V?

No. It is not specified for 3.3 V operation. For 3.3 V RS-485/RS-422 transceivers, consider the SN65HVD23x family or the SN65HVD178x series.
