Product details
Overview
SN65HVD11DR from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V, half-duplex RS-485 transceiver in SOIC-8 package, supporting up to 10 Mbps signaling rate, 1/8 unit-load (256-node bus capacity), and ±16-kV HBM ESD protection on bus pins A/B. It features fail-safe receiver operation (open-circuit, shorted-bus, idle-bus), thermal shutdown, and low-power standby mode (1 µA typical). Used in industrial process control networks with multi-drop wiring.
For engineers reviewing the SN65HVD11DR datasheet, SN65HVD11DR pinout, SN65HVD11DR application, or SN65HVD11DR equivalent, key selection criteria include signaling rate (10 Mbps), bus node count (256), common-mode range (–7 V to 12 V), driver enable timing (55 ns enable-to-output), and fail-safe receiver behavior under fault conditions.
Technical Context
The SN65HVD11DR integrates a 3-state differential line driver and a differential line receiver operating from a single 3.3-V supply. Its driver output transition times are optimized for 10 Mbps operation, with propagation delays of 18–40 ns (tPLH/tPHL) and rise/fall times of 10–30 ns under 54-Ω load and 50-pF capacitance.
Receiver functionality includes wide common-mode input range (–7 V to 12 V), hysteresis (35 mV), and fail-safe logic that outputs high when bus is open, shorted, or idle. Driver and receiver enables (DE active-high, RE active-low) support direction control and hot-plug robustness via glitch-free power-up/down sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - ensures compatibility with modern 3.3-V logic systems and low-power microcontrollers. |
| Signaling Rate | 10 Mbps - supports high-speed industrial communication such as motor drive feedback loops and real-time PLC I/O. |
| Unit Load | 1/8 - allows up to 256 transceivers on a single RS-485 bus without signal degradation. |
| Bus ESD Protection | ±16-kV HBM on A/B pins - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in harsh factory environments. |
| Standby Current | 1 µA typical - enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in battery-backed or energy-harvesting remote nodes. |
| Common-Mode Range | –7 V to +12 V - tolerates ground potential differences between chassis in distributed building automation systems. |
| Fail-Safe Receiver | Outputs logic high during open, shorted, or idle bus conditions - prevents undefined UART framing errors in noisy field wiring. |
Pinout & Package
SN65HVD11DR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27-mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A | Bus input/output | Differential bus terminal (complementary to B); connects directly to RS-485 twisted pair; withstands –7 V to +12 V common-mode. |
| B | Bus input/output | Differential bus terminal (complementary to A); forms balanced transmission pair with A for noise rejection. |
| D | Digital input | Driver data input - accepts TTL/CMOS-level signals from MCU UART TX; controls driver output polarity. |
| DE | Digital input | Active-high driver enable - asserts driver onto bus when high; must be synchronized with RE for half-duplex control. |
| GND | Reference potential | Local ground reference for internal circuitry; separate from bus ground to maintain isolation integrity. |
| R | Digital output | Receiver data output - drives MCU UART RX with CMOS-compatible levels; high-impedance when RE = high. |
| RE | Digital input | Active-low receiver enable - disables receiver output (high-Z) when high; used with DE for direction management. |
| VCC | Supply | 3.0–3.6 V power input - requires local 100-nF ceramic decoupling near pin; not tolerant of >6 V transient overvoltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1/8 Unit-load capability | Enables 256-node RS-485 networks without bus loading penalties, reducing termination complexity in large-scale utility metering deployments. |
| Fail-safe receiver | Guarantees logic-high R output during open-circuit, shorted-bus, or idle-bus states - prevents UART framing errors and system lockup. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Disables driver at ~165°C junction temperature - protects against latch-up during sustained bus faults or ambient overheating. |
| Glitch-free hot-plug operation | Prevents false edge generation on R/D pins during live insertion - critical for modular PLC backplanes and field-replaceable I/O modules. |
| Bus-pin short-circuit protection | Sustains continuous operation with A/B shorted to –7 V or +12 V - eliminates fuse or current-limiting circuitry in security station interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RS-485 transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN65HVD11D | Same electrical specs and pinout, but supplied in cut-tape (not tape-and-reel); no R suffix. | Identical functional use; differs only in packaging format for manual prototyping vs automated SMT placement. | Select SN65HVD11D for bench evaluation or low-volume hand assembly; SN65HVD11DR is optimized for pick-and-place production. |
| MAX13487EESA+ | Pin-compatible 10 Mbps RS-485 transceiver with integrated auto-direction control (no external DE logic required). | Reduces MCU GPIO count and firmware complexity in space-constrained endpoints like smart sensors. | Choose MAX13487EESA+ when simplifying direction control is prioritized over strict TI ecosystem alignment or legacy design reuse. |
Compared with SN65HVD11D and MAX13487EESA+, the SN65HVD11DR offers identical performance in a tape-and-reel format for high-volume manufacturing, while retaining full manual direction control flexibility - making it ideal for industrial designs requiring deterministic bus arbitration and long-term component availability.

FAQ
What is the maximum signaling rate supported by the SN65HVD11DR?
The SN65HVD11DR supports a maximum signaling rate of 10 Mbps under recommended operating conditions (3.3-V supply, 54-Ω load, 50-pF capacitance). This is confirmed in the Device Comparison Table and Driver Switching Characteristics section of the datasheet. Higher rates risk increased bit error due to inter-symbol interference and are not guaranteed.
Does the SN65HVD11DR include fail-safe receiver functionality?
Yes, the SN65HVD11DR features open-circuit, shorted-bus, and idle-bus fail-safe receiver operation. When the A/B bus lines are disconnected, shorted together, or left floating, the R output defaults to a logic-high state - preventing UART framing errors and ensuring deterministic behavior in field-deployed systems.
What is the bus-pin ESD rating for the SN65HVD11DR?
The SN65HVD11DR provides ±16-kV HBM (Human Body Model) ESD protection on bus pins A and B, as verified in Section 7.2 of the datasheet. This eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in most industrial installations and meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 surge immunity requirements when combined with proper PCB layout.
Can the SN65HVD11DR operate with a 3.0-V supply?
Yes, the SN65HVD11DR is fully specified for operation from 3.0 V to 3.6 V. At 3.0 V, parameters including differential output voltage (≥1.5 V), receiver thresholds, and switching times remain within datasheet limits - enabling compatibility with brown-out tolerant microcontrollers and low-voltage power domains.
How does the SN65HVD11DR handle thermal overload conditions?
The SN65HVD11DR incorporates thermal shutdown protection that disables the driver when junction temperature exceeds ~165°C. Recovery occurs automatically once temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~155°C). This prevents permanent damage during sustained bus shorts or high-ambient deployments without requiring external thermal monitoring circuitry.
