Hello TI,
I have an RS-485 industrial control application with the SN65HVD485 that could benefit from higher bit rates (bps), but of course at the same time max cable length is an important specification for the application.
The SN65HVD485E datasheet graciously provided by TI provides a figure "Figure 19. Cable Length vs Data Rate Characteristic" which has a grey region specifying the Conservative Characteristics max cable length versus bit rate.
I must admit I'm a bit rusty with reading log-log plots so without the extra gridlines it's currently difficult for me to graphically estimate specific values.
Could you please tell me what this Conservative Characteristic region's max cable length in units of feet evaluates to at the following bit rates:
9600 bps
115200 bps
921600 bps
Thank you,
Alex
