The SIT65HVD08DGK is a MSOP-8 RoHS compliant integrated circuit (IC) designed for RS-485/RS-422 applications. It is manufactured by SIT (Supertex) and features a Twisted-Pair transceiver with ESD protection and integrated front-end protection. It is meant to be used for simplex and half-duplex communication over pairs of signal wires. It has a low on-state resistance (RDS(ON)) and several power-saving features to allow for an improved total cost of ownership. This part has a single-channel full-duplex differential signaling capability, and is suitable for automotive, industrial, and other high-speed communication systems.
