3 Description
THVD14xx is a family of noise-immune RS-485/RS-
422 transceivers designed to operate in rugged
industrial environments. The bus pins of these
devices are robust to high levels of IEC electrical fast
transients (EFT) and IEC electrostatic discharge
(ESD) events, eliminating the need for additional
system level protection components.
Each of these devices operates from a single supply
between 3 V and 5.5 V. The devices in this family
feature an extended common-mode voltage range
which makes them suitable for multi-point
applications over long cable runs.
THVD14xx family of devices is available in small
VSON and VSSOP packages for space constrained
applications. These devices are characterized over
ambient free-air temperatures from .40°C to 125°C.
