Product Overview

The SN65HVD72 is a Texas Instruments 3.3-V RS-485 transceiver in the Signal_Chain category. It is intended for half-duplex two-wire bus communication and supports up to 250 kbps signaling. The device operates from a single 3.3 V nominal supply, with the VCC pin specified for a 3 V to 3.6 V range.

The interface uses separate logic pins for receive output, driver input, receiver enable, and driver enable. Pin functions include R on pin 1, active-low RE on pin 2, active-high DE on pin 3, D on pin 4, GND on pin 5, A and B bus terminals on pins 6 and 7, and VCC on pin 8. Logic inputs are 5 V tolerant for use with 3.3-V or 5-V controllers.

Package options include SOIC-8, VSSOP-8, and VSON-8 formats. Electrical limits include -13 V to 16.5 V absolute maximum voltage on A or B inputs, -0.3 V to 5.7 V on logic pins, and -65°C to 150°C storage temperature. Protection ratings include bus I/O HBM greater than ±15 kV, IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge greater than ±12 kV, and IEC 61000-4-4 EFT greater than ±4 kV.
