THVD1406, THVD1426 3.3-V to 5-V RS-485 Transceivers with Auto-direction Control
and ±12-kV IEC ESD Protection
1 Features
3 Description
•
The THVD14x6 (THVD1406 and THVD1426) devices
are robust half-duplex RS-485 transceivers for
industrial applications. These devices feature autodirection control using the data input pin that reduces
the reliance on separate pins for driver-enable and
the receiver-enable functionality. This reduces the
number of isolation channels needed or number of
the GPIO pins needed for logic control. The bus
pins are immune to high levels of IEC ESD events
eliminating need of additional system level protection
components.

Operation outside the Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent device damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings do not imply
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those listed under Recommended Operating Conditions.
If used outside the Recommended Operating Conditions but within the Absolute Maximum Ratings, the device may not be fully
functional, and this may affect device reliability, functionality, performance, and shorten the device lifetime.

Operation is specified for internal (junction) temperatures up to 150°C. Self-heating due to internal power dissipation should be
considered for each application. Maximum junction temperature is internally limited by the thermal shut-down (TSD) circuit which
disables the driver outputs when the junction temperature reaches 170°C.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The THVD1406 is a low-power, half-duplex RS-485 transceiver suitable for data transmission up to 500 kbps.
The THVD1426 is a low-power, half-duplex RS-485 transceiver suitable for data transmission up to 12 Mbps.

8.3 Feature Description
Internal ESD protection circuits protect the transceiver against Electrostatic Discharges (ESD) according to IEC
61000-4-2 of up to ±12 kV (Contact Discharge), ±15 kV (Air Gap Discharge) and against electrical fast transients
(EFT) according to IEC 61000-4-4 of up to ±4 kV.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
When the shutdown pin, SHDN, is logic high, the differential outputs A and B follow the logic states at data input
D. When D is low, the output states reverse, B turns high, A becomes low, and VOD is negative. A logic high at
D causes A to turn high and B to turn low for a duration. In this case, the differential output voltage defined as
VOD = VA – VB is positive for tdevice-auto-dir. After this duration, the driver turns off and the receiver is enabled. The
device can be used in auto-direction mode by tying SHDN and RE pins together to logic high and controlling the
driver and receiver using the data input pin, D. This enables reducing the number of GPIO pins or the number
of isolation channels required to operate the device. Please refer to Driver Function Table and Receiver Function
Table for further details.
When SHDN is low, both the driver and the receiver are turned off and the device is in shutdown mode. In this
condition, the logic state at D is irrelevant. The SHDN pin has an internal pull-up resistor to VCC; thus, when left
open, the driver is status is dependent on the status of the D pin. The D pin has an internal pull-up resistor to
VCC, thus, when left open while the driver is enabled for tdevice-auto-dir, before bring disabled.

When the receiver enable pin, RE, is logic low, the receiver is enabled. When the differential input voltage

turns high. When VID is negative and lower than the negative input threshold, VIT-, the receiver output, R, turns
low. If VID is between VIT+ and VIT- the output is indeterminate.
When RE is logic high or left open and D input is logic low, the receiver output is high-impedance and the
magnitude and polarity of VID are irrelevant. Internal biasing of the receiver inputs causes the output to go

When RE is logic high or left open and D input switches from logic low to logic high, the receiver output is

outputs a logic high or low depending upon the differntial bus input voltage.

9 Application Information Disclaimer
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The THVD14x6 devices are half-duplex RS-485 transceivers commonly used for asynchronous data
transmissions. The device can be used in auto-direction mode by tying SHDN and RE pins together to logic
high and controlling the driver and receiver using the data input pin, D. This enables reducing the number of
GPIO pins or the number of isolation channels required to operate the device. Please refer to Driver Function
Table and Receiver Function Table for further details.
9.2 Typical Application
An RS-485 bus consists of multiple transceivers connecting in parallel to a bus cable. To eliminate line
reflections, each cable end is terminated with a termination resistor, RT, whose value matches the characteristic
impedance, Z0, of the cable. This method, known as parallel termination, allows for higher data rates over longer
cable length.

9.2.1 Design Requirements
RS-485 is a robust electrical standard suitable for long-distance networking that may be used in a wide range of
applications with varying requirements, such as distance, data rate, and number of nodes.
9.2.1.1 Data Rate and Bus Length
There is an inverse relationship between data rate and cable length, which means the higher the data rate, the
shorter the cable length; and conversely, the lower the data rate, the longer the cable length. While most RS-485
systems use data rates between 10 kbps and 100 kbps, some applications require data rates up to 300 kbps at
distances of 4000 feet and longer. Longer distances are possible by allowing for small signal jitter of up to 5 or
10%.

9.2.1.2 Stub Length
When connecting a node to the bus, the distance between the transceiver inputs and the cable trunk, known as
the stub, should be as short as possible. Stubs present a non-terminated piece of bus line which can introduce
reflections as the length of the stub increases. As a general guideline, the electrical length, or round-trip delay, of
a stub should be less than one-tenth of the rise time of the driver, thus giving a maximum physical stub length as
shown in Equation 1.
L(STUB) ≤ 0.1 × tr × v × c
(1)
where
•
•
•
tr is the 10/90 rise time of the driver
c is the speed of light (3 × 108 m/s)
v is the signal velocity of the cable or trace as a factor of c
9.2.1.3 Bus Loading
The RS-485 standard specifies that a compliant driver must be able to driver 32 unit loads (UL), where 1 unit
load represents a load impedance of approximately 12 kΩ. Because the THVD14x6 devices consist of 1/8 UL
transceivers, connecting up to 256 receivers to the bus is possible.
9.2.1.4 Receiver Failsafe
The differential receivers of the THVD14x6 are failsafe to invalid bus states caused by the following:
• Open bus conditions, such as a disconnected connector
• Shorted bus conditions, such as cable damage shorting the twisted-pair together
• Idle bus conditions that occur when no driver on the bus is actively driving
In any of these cases, the differential receiver outputs a failsafe logic high state so that the output of the receiver
is not indeterminate.
Receiver failsafe is accomplished by offsetting the receiver thresholds such that the input indeterminate range
does not include zero volts differential. To comply with the RS-422 and RS-485 standards, the receiver output
must output a high when the differential input VID is more positive than 200 mV, and must output a low when
VID is more negative than –200 mV. The receiver parameters which determine the failsafe performance are
VIT+, VIT–, and VHYS (the separation between VIT+ and VIT–). As shown in the Electrical Characteristics table,
differential signals more negative than –200 mV always causes a low receiver output, and differential signals
more positive than 200 mV always causes a high receiver output.
When the differential input signal is close to zero, it is still above the VIT+ threshold, and the receiver output is
high. Only when the differential input is more than VHYS below VIT+ does the receiver output transition to a low
state. Therefore, the noise immunity of the receiver inputs during a bus fault conditions includes the receiver
hysteresis value, VHYS, as well as the value of VIT+.

9.2.1.5 Transient Protection
The bus pins of the THVD14x6 transceiver family include on-chip ESD protection against ±16-kV HBM and
±8-kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) ESD test is far
more severe than the HBM ESD test. The 50% higher charge capacitance, C(S), and 78% lower discharge
resistance, R(D), of the IEC model produce significantly higher discharge currents than the HBM model.

The on-chip implementation of IEC ESD protection significantly increases the robustness of equipment.
Common discharge events occur because of human contact with connectors and cables. Designers may choose
to implement protection against longer duration transients, typically referred to as surge transients.
EFTs are generally caused by relay-contact bounce or the interruption of inductive loads. Surge transients
often result from lightning strikes (direct strike or an indirect strike which induce voltages and currents), or
the switching of power systems, including load changes and short circuit switching. These transients are often
encountered in industrial environments, such as factory automation and power-grid systems.
Figure 9-3 compares the pulse-power of the EFT and surge transients with the power caused by an IEC ESD
transient. The left hand diagram shows the relative pulse-power for a 0.5-kV surge transient and 4-kV EFT
transient, both of which dwarf the 10-kV ESD transient visible in the lower-left corner. 500-V surge transients are
representative of events that may occur in factory environments in industrial and process automation.

In the event of surge transients, high-energy content is characterized by long pulse duration and slow decaying
pulse power. The electrical energy of a transient that is dumped into the internal protection cells of a transceiver
is converted into thermal energy, which heats and destroys the protection cells, thus destroying the transceiver.
Figure 9-4 shows the large differences in transient energies for single ESD, EFT, surge transients, and an EFT
pulse train that is commonly applied during compliance testing.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
To ensure reliable operation at all data rates and supply voltages, each supply should be decoupled with a 100
nF ceramic capacitor located as close to the supply pins as possible. This helps to reduce supply voltage ripple
present on the outputs of switched-mode power supplies and also helps to compensate for the resistance and
inductance of the PCB power planes.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Robust and reliable bus node design often requires the use of external transient protection devices in order
to protect against surge transients that may occur in industrial environments. Since these transients have a
wide frequency bandwidth (from approximately 3 MHz to 300 MHz), high-frequency layout techniques should be
applied during PCB design.
1. Place the protection circuitry close to the bus connector to prevent noise transients from propagating across
the board.
2. Use VCC and ground planes to provide low inductance. Note that high-frequency currents tend to follow the
path of least impedance and not the path of least resistance.
3. Design the protection components into the direction of the signal path. Do not force the transient currents to
divert from the signal path to reach the protection device.
4. Apply 100-nF to 220-nF decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the VCC pins of transceiver, UART
and/or controller ICs on the board.
5. Use at least two vias for VCC and ground connections of decoupling capacitors and protection devices to
minimize effective via inductance.
6. Use 1-kΩ to 10-kΩ pull-up resistors for RE and SHDN lines to connect them together to VCC to reduce the
number of GPIO lines to MCU or the number of isolation channels.
7. Insert pulse-proof resistors into the A and B bus lines if the TVS clamping voltage is higher than the specified
maximum voltage of the transceiver bus pins. These resistors limit the residual clamping current into the
transceiver and prevent it from latching up.
8. While pure TVS protection is sufficient for surge transients up to 1 kV, higher transients require metal-oxide
varistors (MOVs) which reduce the transients to a few hundred volts of clamping voltage, and transient
blocking units (TBUs) that limit transient current to less than 1 mA.
