Texas Instruments THVD1406/THVD1426 Half-Duplex RS-485 Transceivers are designed for industrial applications. The THVD14x6 Transceivers offer an auto direction control using the data input pin. This feature reduces the reliance on separate pins for driver-enable and receiver-enable functionality. Furthermore, the number of isolation channels or GPIO pins is diminished for logic control. The bus pins are immune to high levels of IEC ESD events eliminating the need for additional system-level protection components.
