FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
Common-Mode Voltage Range (–20 V to 25 V)
More Than Doubles TIA/EIA-485 Requirement
The SN65HVD21A offers performance far exceeding
typical RS485 devices. In addition to meeting all
Reduced Unit-Load for up to 256 Nodes
requirements of the TIA/EIA485A standard, the
Bus I/O Protection to Over 16-kV HBM
device operates over an extended range of
Failsafe Receiver for Open-Circuit,
common-mode voltage, and has features such as
Short-Circuit and Idle-Bus Conditions
high ESD protection, wide receiver hysteresis, and
failsafe operation. This device is ideally suited for
Low Standby Supply Current 1-µA Max
long-cable networks, and other applications where
More Than 100 mV Receiver Hysteresis
the environment is too harsh for ordinary
transceivers.
APPLICATIONS
The device is designed for bidirectional data
Long Cable Solutions
transmission on multipoint twisted-pair cables.
Factory Automation
Example applications are digital motor controllers,
Security Networks
remote sensors and terminals, industrial process
Building HVAC
control, security stations, and environmental control
systems.
Severe Electrical Environments
Electrical Power Inverters
The device combines a 3-state differential driver and
a differential receiver, which operate from a single

5-V power supply. The driver differential outputs and
Avionics
the receiver differential inputs are connected
internally to form a differential bus port that offers
minimum loading to the bus. This port features an
extended common-mode voltage range making the
device suitable for multipoint applications over long
cable runs.
Device Operates Over a Wider Common-Mode Voltage Range
