SN65HVD17xx - 70-V Fault-Protected RS-485 Transeiver
The SN65HVD178x and SN65HVD1791 are ±70V, fault-protected, half duplex and full duplex, respectively, 5-V RS-485 transceivers in speed grades of 128 kbps, 1 Mbps and 10 Mbps. The bus pins can be shorted indefinitely to line voltages of up to ±70 V with no damage.
These devices are designed to survive overvoltage faults such as direct shorts to power supplies, mis-wiring faults, connector failures, cable crushes, and tool mis-applications. They are also robust to ESD events, with high levels of protection to human-body model specifications.
These devices combine a differential driver and a differential receiver, which operate from a single power supply. In the 'HVD1785, 'HVD1786, and 'HVD1787, the driver differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected internally to form a bus port suitable for half-duplex (two-wire bus) communication. In the 'HVD1791, the driver differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs are separate pins, to form a bus port suitable for full-duplex (four-wire bus) communication. These ports feature a wide common-mode voltage range, making the devices suitable for multipoint applications over long cable runs.
Features
