25 Mbps half-duplex RS485 transceiver in 8-SOIC
5V-only supply — confirm rail compatibility
The supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V means the SN65HVD23D is a 5V-only device. It will not operate from a 3.3V rail. If your bus controller or UART runs at 3.3V logic, level translation on the driver/receiver enable and data pins is required. The 130 mV receiver hysteresis provides good noise margin on the bus, but the input common-mode range and fail-safe biasing should be verified against the cable length and termination scheme in your specific installation.
