The 70 mV of receiver hysteresis provides noise margin on long cable runs where ground potential differences eat into the differential signal — a meaningful edge over parts with 30 mV or 50 mV hysteresis when the bus spans tens of metres through a factory floor. The 1/1 driver/receiver count suits point-to-point or multi-drop applications where one node talks and one listens full-time — think encoder feedback, VFD control links, or PLC-to-remote-I/O bridges.
The 10-VSSOP (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body, 0.50 mm pitch) is a standard small-outline package. The exposed pad is absent — it's a non-thermal package, so all heat conducts through the leads. Reflow profile follows standard lead-free (260°C peak). Hand rework with hot air at 320°C, 15 L/min, preheat the board to 100°C to avoid pad lifting on the thin 0.118-inch MSOP footprint. Bake at 125°C for 24 hours if the bag seal is broken and the humidity indicator card shows >30%.
