RS-485 transceiver with wide supply tolerance
It operates across a 3V to 5.5V supply range, making it suitable for both 3.3V and 5V bus nodes without a separate regulator. The 10 Mbps data rate supports high-speed industrial communication links such as Profibus or Modbus RTU over twisted-pair cabling.
Receiver hysteresis and signal margin
For a 10 Mbps link, the hysteresis value is a design parameter for the minimum differential input voltage threshold — the datasheet's typical threshold is 200 mV, so the hysteresis adds a clean switching window without excessive offset.
Package and supply chain fit
Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) options, the 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm width) footprint is a common industry standard that mates with existing PCB layouts for RS-485 transceivers.
