The maximum cable length supported by the SN65HVD72D 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.
The SN65HVD72D can be configured for half-duplex or full-duplex operation by connecting the corresponding pins. For half-duplex operation, connect the TX and RX pins together. For full-duplex operation, keep the TX and RX pins separate.
The SN65HVD72D supports data rates up to 1 Mbps.
Yes, the SN65HVD72D is compatible with other RS-485 transceivers that comply with the EIA/TIA-485 standard.
To handle bus contention and fault tolerance in a multi-point RS-485 network, use a combination of hardware and software techniques such as bus termination, biasing, and error detection and correction mechanisms.
