PRODUCTION DATA.
RS-485 transceivers operate in noisy industrial environments typically require surge protection at the bus pins. Figure 25 compares 1-kV surge protection implementation with a regular RS-485 transceiver (such as THVD14x0) against with the THVD14x9. The internal TVS protection of the THVD14x9 achieves ±2.5 kV IEC 61000-4-5 surge protection without any additional external components, reducing system level bill of materials.
