Half-duplex RS-485 transceiver for 5 V industrial buses
10 Mbps — speed margin for high-throughput links
Rated for 10 Mbps, this transceiver supports high-speed fieldbuses that demand faster update cycles than the common 250 kbps or 500 kbps RS-485 parts. The 30 mV hysteresis helps maintain signal integrity at these rates over cable lengths where reflections and ground offsets degrade the differential signal.
Housed in an 8-VSSOP (0.118", 3.00 mm width) surface-mount package, the SN65HVD485EDGK suits space-constrained I/O cards and multi-channel interface modules. The supplier device package is 8-VSSOP; the alternate case style 8-TSSOP or 8-MSOP shares the same footprint, so layout is straightforward across the family.
