RS-485/RS-422 transceiver for 5 V industrial buses
It delivers a 20 Mbps data rate, making it suitable for high-speed factory automation, motor drive feedback, and building automation networks where bus turnaround time matters. The single driver and single receiver pair fits point-to-point or multi-drop configurations on a balanced pair.
20 Mbps and 30 mV hysteresis — what they mean on the bus
At 20 Mbps the SN65HVD3086ED keeps up with Profibus and similar high-speed fieldbus segments without stretching the bit period. On a 5 V supply rail the common-mode range covers -7 V to +12 V, which handles the shifts you see in industrial installations with separate power domains.
Store the reels dry — MSL level is typical for this package class, and moisture exposure before reflow can cause package cracking.
