SLLSFG3 May 2020 THVD1428
PRODUCTION DATA.
RS-485 transceivers operate in noisy industrial environments typically require surge protection at the bus pins. Figure 22 compares 1-kV surge protection implementation with a regular RS-485 transceiver (such as THVD14x0) against with the THVD1428. The internal TVS protection of the THVD1428 achieves ±3 kV IEC 61000-4-5 surge protection without any additional external components, reducing system level bill of materials.
