Full-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver for 3.3V buses
The 5 Mbps data rate covers most industrial fieldbus segments (Profibus, Modbus RTU at higher baud rates) and allows enough margin for cable lengths up to a few hundred metres with proper termination. The 50 mV hysteresis filters out reflections and common-mode noise that would otherwise cause bit errors on unterminated stubs. For a 3.3V-only system, the supply range confirms direct connection to the logic rail without a separate transceiver supply — no level shifter needed.
