Product details
Overview
SN65HVD72DGKR from Texas Instruments is a half-duplex RS-485 transceiver with 3.3-V supply, 250-kbps signaling rate, ±12-kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD protection, 80-mV receiver hysteresis, and <2-µA standby current. It operates across –40°C to 125°C and supports up to 213 nodes on a single bus, targeting industrial automation and motion control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN65HVD72DGKR datasheet, SN65HVD72DGKR pinout, SN65HVD72DGKR application, or SN65HVD72DGKR equivalent, key selection criteria include its VSSOP-8 package, DE/RE enable control logic, RS-485 bus I/O robustness, low quiescent current in enabled and disabled states, and compatibility with 3.3-V or 5-V logic controllers.
Technical Context
The SN65HVD72DGKR integrates a single 3.3-V differential driver and receiver in half-duplex configuration, with internally connected A/B bus terminals. Its receiver features 80-mV hysteresis for noise immunity on long cable runs, and the driver delivers ≥1.5-V differential output into 54-Ω RS-485 loads.
Control logic uses active-high DE (driver enable) and active-low RE (receiver enable), supporting four functional modes: transmit enabled/receive disabled, transmit disabled/receive enabled, both disabled (high-impedance bus), and both enabled (not recommended). Glitch-free power-up/power-down behavior prevents bus contention during supply transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Signaling Rate | Up to 250 kbps - supports legacy industrial fieldbus speeds with timing margin for cable-induced jitter |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3-V rail; 5-V tolerant logic inputs allow direct interface to 5-V microcontrollers |
| Bus ESD Protection | ±12 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in most factory automation environments |
| Receiver Hysteresis | 80 mV - rejects common-mode noise up to 80 mV without false triggering on multi-drop buses |
| Quiescent Supply Current | <2 µA in standby - enables ultra-low-power wake-on-bus designs for battery-backed or energy-harvesting nodes |
| Node Count Support | 213 unit loads - allows large-scale distributed I/O networks without repeaters or bus segmentation |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood, motor drive, and high-ambient industrial enclosures |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body, 0.65-mm lead pitch, exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| R | Digital output | Receiver data output - logic-high when A > B by ≥VIT+, logic-low when A < B by ≥|VIT–| |
| RE | Digital input | Active-low receiver enable - drives R high-impedance when RE = high; must be pulled low for receive operation |
| DE | Digital input | Active-high driver enable - enables differential A/B outputs when DE = high; disables driver (high-Z) when DE = low |
| D | Digital input | Driver data input - non-inverted input to driver stage; controls polarity of A/B differential pair |
| GND | Reference potential | Local ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| A | Bus I/O | Differential bus terminal - complementary to B; driven high or low depending on D and DE state; receives differential signal when RE active |
| B | Bus I/O | Differential bus terminal - complementary to A; same electrical role as A but inverted polarity |
| VCC | Supply | 3.3-V power input - must be decoupled with ≥100-nF ceramic capacitor placed within 3 mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glitch-free power-up/down | Prevents bus contention during brown-out or hot-plug events by holding A/B in high-impedance until VCC stabilizes |
| 5-V tolerant logic inputs | Allows direct connection to 5-V microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting, reducing BOM count and layout complexity |
| Low standby current (<2 µA) | Enables always-on RS-485 monitoring in power-constrained edge nodes while maintaining fast wake response |
| Large common-mode range (–7 V to 12 V) | Supports reliable communication over 1200-m cable runs with ground potential differences up to 19 V between nodes |
| IEC 61000-4-4 transient immunity | Withstands ±4-kV fast transient bursts on bus lines - meets EN 61000-4-4 Level 3 for industrial equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RS-485 transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN65HVD75DR | 20-Mbps signaling rate, higher ICC (750–950 µA quiescent), identical pinout and voltage specs | Suitable for high-speed backplane or short-cable point-to-point links, not optimized for legacy 250-kbps fieldbus timing margins | Select SN65HVD75DR only if system requires >250-kbps throughput; SN65HVD72DGKR remains optimal for deterministic low-speed industrial protocols. |
| MAX13487EESA+ | Integrated slew-rate limiting, 1/8 unit load, ±15-kV HBM ESD, SOIC-8 package only | Better suited for mixed-noise environments with sensitive analog circuits nearby due to lower EMI emissions | Choose MAX13487EESA+ when EMC compliance is critical and board space permits SOIC; SN65HVD72DGKR offers superior thermal performance in VSSOP for dense layouts. |
Compared with SN65HVD75DR and MAX13487EESA+, the SN65HVD72DGKR provides the best balance of low-power operation, noise immunity, and legacy protocol timing compliance - making it the preferred choice for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained, and ESD-prone industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum signaling rate supported by the SN65HVD72DGKR?
The SN65HVD72DGKR supports a maximum signaling rate of 250 kbps, with guaranteed timing parameters including driver propagation delay ≤1.0 µs and receiver propagation delay ≤100 ns under recommended operating conditions. This rate is optimized for legacy industrial protocols such as Modbus RTU and PROFIBUS DP at standard baud rates, ensuring reliable operation over 1200-m cable lengths with appropriate termination.
Does the SN65HVD72DGKR require external ESD protection components?
No, the SN65HVD72DGKR does not require external ESD protection components for IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge up to ±12 kV on bus pins A and B, nor for ±4 kV IEC 61000-4-4 fast transient bursts. Its integrated protection eliminates discrete TVS diodes in most industrial installations, though system-level surge protection may still be needed for lightning-prone outdoor deployments.
How does the SN65HVD72DGKR manage power consumption in standby mode?
The SN65HVD72DGKR achieves <2 µA standby supply current when both driver and receiver are disabled (DE = GND, RE = VCC), enabling ultra-low-power remote node monitoring. This state maintains bus high-impedance while allowing rapid wake-up via DE/RE control, making it suitable for battery-powered sensor gateways and energy-harvesting field devices where average current must remain below 10 µA.
Can the SN65HVD72DGKR interface directly with a 5-V microcontroller?
Yes, the SN65HVD72DGKR features 5-V tolerant logic inputs (D, DE, RE), allowing direct connection to 5-V GPIOs without level-shifting circuitry. The device operates from a 3.3-V supply (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V), and input voltage limits extend to 5.7 V, ensuring compatibility with mixed-voltage systems while preserving signal integrity and timing margins.
What is the thermal performance of the SN65HVD72DGKR in its VSSOP-8 package?
The SN65HVD72DGKR in DGK (VSSOP-8) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 168.7°C/W and a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 89.5°C/W. When mounted on a 2-layer PCB with 1-in² copper pour under the exposed pad, it sustains continuous operation at 125°C ambient with typical load, meeting industrial temperature requirements without forced airflow or heatsinking.
