The SN65HVD231QDRG4Q1 is an automotive-grade, robust, low-power, half-duplex RS-485 transceiver that is suitable for multi-point data transmission in noisy environments. It is designed to meet the requirements of the Controller Area Network (CAN) physical layer standards, making it an excellent choice for automotive and industrial communication systems.
Key features of the SN65HVD231QDRG4Q1 include:
1. Robust Communication: The IC provides excellent noise immunity and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), allowing reliable data transfer in harsh operating conditions. It can withstand voltage spikes up to ±16 kV on the bus pins without damage.
2. Low Power Consumption: With a low quiescent current of only 375 µA, the SN65HVD231QDRG4Q1 minimizes power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered applications or systems where power efficiency is crucial.
3. Wide Voltage Range: The IC supports a wide supply voltage range from 3 V to 5.5 V, allowing flexibility in system design and compatibility with various microcontrollers and other devices.
4. Half-Duplex Operation: The SN65HVD231QDRG4Q1 supports half-duplex communication, allowing bidirectional data transmission over a single twisted-pair cable. It is typically used in applications where only one device transmits at a time, such as in automotive networks
