The SN65LBC172ADW can support data rates up to 100 Mbps.
Yes, the SN65LBC172ADW 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 SN65LBC172ADW depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. However, as a general rule, cable lengths up to 100 meters are commonly used.
Yes, the SN65LBC172ADW can be used in a hot-swappable application, but it requires the use of external circuitry to ensure that the bus is properly terminated and that the device is powered down before the hot-swap event.
