PRODUCTION DATA
The THVD4421 bus pins are protected against any DC supply shorts in the range of -16V to +16V. In the RS-485 mode, the short circuit current is limited to ±250mA in order to comply with the TIA/EIA-485A standard. In RS-232 mode, current limiting of ±60mA is applicable for scenarios where bus pins can short to ground.
The device also features thermal shutdown protection that disables the driver and the receiver if the junction temperature exceeds the TSHDN threshold due to excessive power dissipation on-chip.
Supply undervoltage protection is present on both VCC and VIO supplies. This maintains the bus output and receiver logic output in known driven state when both the supplies are above their rising undervoltage thresholds. Table 7-1 describes the device behavior in various scenarios of supply levels.
