Last-time-buy — secure stock now
This is not a part to spec into a new design unless you already have a lifetime buy secured. For existing BOM lines, the window to procure through standard distribution is closing — independent and surplus channels are the remaining supply path.
20 Mbps half-duplex RS-485 — what it buys you
Half-duplex transceiver supporting RS-422 and RS-485 protocols at 20 Mbps.
The 8-VSSOP package is a surface-mount footprint. One driver and one receiver per package.
Sourcing reality for this code
