SN65HVD23: Long Cable Length

Part Number: SN65HVD23
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: THVD1429

Custome is looking for long length cable 100M with 12Mbps data rat and 3.3V bias power. for MD Encoder Application.

In the SN65HVD23 d/s, it is able to extend cable length, but it only works with 4.5V,min VCC.

Is there 3.3V device with similar performance recommended?

  • Modern transceivers like the THVD1429 have enough drive strength for long cables. (And if the signal is unidirectional, you can use RS-422 termination, i.e., a resistor only at the receiver.)

    The only question is how much jitter you can afford in your application:

    It might be possible to improve the signal somewhat with a common-mode choke. But ultimately, this depends on the analog properties of the entire bus, and on what logic you are using at the receiver to decode the signal.

    If you need the receiver equalization feature, then the SN65HVD23 is your only choice, and you need a 5 V supply.

  • Thanks.

    With the 12Mbps and 100m Cable length on THVD1429, what's the % jittering?

    Could you address what impact to communication when jittering is happens?

    In the customer application, the RS485 cable is between servo drive board and encoder board of the motor. Expected that the voltage would be lower to 3.3V on encoder board as the voltage drop on cable line. thanks.

  • With 12 Mbps at 100 m, the jitter will probably less than 5 %.

    The impact depends on what protocol is used.

    Consider using a higher supply voltage (e.g., 12 V or higher), and adding a regulator on  the board.
