26 Mbps full-duplex RS-485 transceiver in 8-SOIC
Typical deployment is in industrial automation, building control, and networked sensor buses where differential signaling over twisted-pair cabling is required.
The transceiver's logic inputs are compatible with 3.3 V CMOS levels, so no external level shifter is needed when driving from a 3.3 V UART or controller. The 50 mV hysteresis on the receiver input helps reject noise on differential lines, reducing bit errors in electrically noisy environments like motor drives or factory floors.
This makes it suitable for PLC I/O modules, HVAC controllers, and remote terminal units where the ambient temperature stays within that band.
