To avoid the switching noise of RS485 transceiver influence the 3.3V power rail, which powers the TMAG6180, a separate 5V supply is used to supply the THVD1454. For reliable operation at all data rates and supply voltages, VCC supply needs to be decoupled with a 1uF ceramic capacitor (C12) located as close to the supply pin as possible. This reference design also uses a level shifter TXU0101 to convert the 5V signal on the THVD1454 R pin to a 3.3V signal to be compatible with MSPM0 GPIO input voltage range.
DE and /RE pins are direction control pins of THVD1454, since THVD1454 works on half-duplex mode. DE and /RE pins are connected together. The pulldown resistor R25 (10kΩ) is added to make sure THVD1454 is working on receive mode by default.
THVD1454 has integrated a 120Ω terminal resistor which is controlled by the TERM pin. The TERM pin is connected to MSPM0 GPIO PA4 to to enable the internal terminal resistor through MSPM0 software.
The 100kΩ pullup resistor R15 and pulldown resistor R22 are connected to A and B separately. These resistors limit the residual clamping current into the transceiver and prevent the transceiver from latching up.
