Product Overview
One RS-485 line driver and one receiver, both TRI-STATE, share this 8-pin SOIC from National Semiconductor, built for multipoint buses of up to 32 nodes. The DS3695AM meets EIA RS-485, works on RS-422 lines, and runs from a single 5 V supply.
Key Features
- Multipoint RS-485/RS-422 transceiver: one driver plus one receiver, TRI-STATE
- Meets EIA RS-485; RS-422 compatible
- Single 5 V supply
- Common-mode range -7 V to +12 V
- Up to 32 nodes on one bus
- Thermal shutdown
- Typical driver propagation delay 10 ns
- 5 kV human body model ESD rating
- Operating temperature 0 to 70 C
- 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package
Applications
- Replacing the DS3695AM on the serial port of an industrial controller, drive or building-automation node
- Building a multi-drop serial link that lets several microcontroller boards share one RS-485 pair
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it run from a 3.3 V rail?
It is specified for a single 5 V supply.
What does Texas Instruments list as the replacement for the DS3695AM?
TI's listed replacement is the SN65HVD485ED.
The price-break table on this page gives the price per piece at each quantity.
RS-485 exists because the controller at one end of the cable and the node at the other rarely agree on where ground is, and the DS3695AM was built to keep talking while they argue. When a node on the line goes quiet, start by reading the number on its transceiver.
