3 Description

THVD9491-SEP is a space enhanced, ±40V faultprotected

full-duplex RS-422/RS-485 transceiver

using a 1.65V to 5.5V logic supply for data and enable

logic signals, and a 3V to 5.5V bus side supply. The

device has a slew rate select feature that enables the

use at two maximum speeds based on the SLR pin

setting.

The device features integrated IEC ESD protection,

eliminating the need for external system-level

protection components. The ±12V input commonmode

range makes reliable data communication over

longer cable run lengths and/or in the presence

of large ground loop voltages. Enhanced 250mV

receiver hysteresis provides high noise rejection. In

addition, the receiver fail-safe feature makes sure of

a logic high when the inputs are open or shorted

together.

THVD9491-SEP device is available in a standard

14-pin SOIC package.
