The SN65LBC182DR can support data rates up to 100 Mbps.
Yes, the SN65LBC182DR can be used in a multi-point configuration, but it requires an external biasing network to ensure proper operation.
To ensure reliable operation in a noisy environment, it is recommended to use a common-mode choke and a shielded cable to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). Additionally, proper grounding and shielding of the circuit board can help to reduce noise.
The maximum cable length that can be used with the SN65LBC182DR depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. However, as a general rule, the maximum cable length should not exceed 100 meters to ensure reliable operation.
The SN65LBC182DR is rated for operation up to 85°C, but it can be used in high-temperature environments with proper derating. However, it is recommended to consult the datasheet and application notes for specific guidance on high-temperature operation.
