SN65HVD1781: About communication quality

Hello,

RS-485 communication should work well for either part as long as it is operated below its maximum specified operating rate and with appropriate cabling. There is generally no benefit to choosing a transceiver with a much higher rated rate. In fact, some users prefer to use "slower" transceivers in lower-data-rate applications because the slower output state transitions will result in less noticeable reflections when operated in a more complex network with multiple unterminated branches. Slower transceivers are also sometimes preferred due to EMI concerns, although since RS-485 transceivers typically have a well-balanced differential output this is less of a concern for most applications.

Please let me know if this isn't clear or if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Max
