SN65HVD10: RS485 & RS232 communication circuit

Part Number: SN65HVD10
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MAX3221,

Hi there:

I'd like to check an application circuit for my customer.

From the attached schematic provided by RD, the SN65HVD10 will transmit to MAX3221, 

Would there be any risk to connect directly?

  • Kay,

    Do you mean SN65HVD10 and MAX3221 share a same wire? It's OK to do so, but please be aware that SN65HVD10 bus pins have -9V to 14V abs max. Theoretically RS-232 signal swing from -15V to 15V. However MAX3221 Dout range is much smaller than that, which works with SN65HVD10. Please let me know if you have more questions.

    Regards,

    Hao
