Tool/software:
Dear TI Support Team,
I am seeking clarification on the operating free-air temperature range for the SN65HVD3082EDR (RS-485 transceiver).
-
The Texas Instruments datasheet for the SN65HVD308xE family specifies that the “D” package version is characterized over a range of –40 °C to +105 °C.
-
However, several distributor listings (e.g., DigiKey, Mouser) state the operating range as –40 °C to +85 °C.
Could you please confirm:
-
What is the official guaranteed operating temperature range for the SN65HVD3082EDR?
-
Does the “EDR” suffix (tape-and-reel packaging) have any impact on the temperature rating compared to the standard “ED” D-package?
-
Should we design for +85 °C (conservative) or is the device fully qualified and tested for +105 °C operation in free-air conditions?
This clarification will help us finalize our environmental specifications and ensure compliance in our design.
Thank you for your support.
