RS-485 half-duplex transceiver for 5 V industrial buses
This is the 8-VSSOP tape-and-reel variant — the same die as the wider SOIC-packaged SN65HVD3085E, just in the smaller footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts.
5 V supply only — not a 3.3 V part
The 1 Mbps data rate is a practical ceiling for half-duplex polling networks.
Active lifecycle — no end-of-life concern for production builds
The base product number is 65HVD3085, so any future PCN or EOL communication from TI will reference that family identifier.
