The DS1488N can operate over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
To ensure reliable data transmission, ensure that the transmitter and receiver are properly terminated, and the transmission line is properly matched to the transmitter output impedance.
The maximum cable length supported by the DS1488N depends on the transmission frequency and cable characteristics, but a general guideline is to limit the cable length to 100 meters or less.
Yes, the DS1488N can be used for half-duplex communication by using the transmitter and receiver in a time-multiplexed manner.
To handle common-mode noise, use a common-mode choke or a ferrite bead in the transmission line, and ensure that the transmitter and receiver have a common ground reference.
