The SN65ALS1176DR can support data rates up to 100 Mbps.
Yes, the SN65ALS1176DR can be used in a multi-point bus configuration, but it requires the use of external resistors to terminate the bus.
To ensure reliable operation in a noisy environment, it is recommended to use a common-mode choke or a ferrite bead in series with the bus to filter out electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The maximum cable length that can be used with the SN65ALS1176DR depends on the data rate and the type of cable used. As a general rule, the maximum cable length should not exceed 10 meters at 100 Mbps.
Yes, the SN65ALS1176DR can be used in a daisy-chain configuration, but it requires careful attention to bus termination and signal integrity to ensure reliable operation.
