Texas Instruments THVD1400/THVD1420 RS-485 Transceivers are robust half-duplex RS-485 transceivers for industrial applications. The bus pins are immune to high levels of IEC Contact Discharge ESD events, eliminating the need for additional system-level protection components. The devices operate from a single 3V to 5.5V supply. The wide common-mode voltage range and low input leakage on bus pins make the devices suitable for multi-point applications over long cable runs. Texas Instruments THVD1400 and THVD1420 are available in an industry-standard, 8-pin SOIC package for drop-in compatibility, as well as in the industry-leading small SOT package. The devices are characterized for ambient temperatures from –40°C to 125°C.
