3 Description

THVD1500 is a robust half-duplex RS-485 transceiver

for industrial applications. The bus pins are immune

to high levels of IEC Contact Discharge ESD events

eliminating need of additional system level protection

components.

The device operates from a single 5-V supply. The

wide common-mode voltage range and low input

leakage on bus pins make THVD1500 suitable for

multi-point applications over long cable runs.

THVD1500 is available in industry standard 8-pin

SOIC package for drop-in compatibility. The device is

characterized from .40°C to 125°C.
