The maximum cable length supported by the SN65HVD12D is dependent on the baud rate and the type of cable used. As a general guideline, the maximum cable length is around 100 meters at 9600 bps and 10 meters at 1 Mbps.
To ensure reliable communication over long distances, it is recommended to use a shielded twisted-pair cable, keep the transmitter and receiver grounds connected, and use a common mode choke to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The SN65HVD12D supports data rates up to 1 Mbps, making it suitable for high-speed industrial control applications.
Yes, the SN65HVD12D is compatible with other RS-485 transceivers that comply with the EIA/TIA-485 standard.
To protect the SN65HVD12D from electrical surges and overvoltages, it is recommended to use a surge protector or a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in parallel with the device.
