RS-485/422 transceiver "THVD1550" with high noise immunity

The THVD1550D is an RS-485/RS-422 transceiver from Texas Instruments.

The THVD1550D is ESD protected and meets the following specifications: This makes them ideal transceivers for industrial applications that require high noise immunity.

  • ±30kV HBM protection
  • ±25kV IEC61000-4-2 air discharge
  • ±18kV IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge
  • ±4kV IEC61000-4-4 Electrical Fast Transient


This article explains the following major features and benefits of the THVD1550D.

  1. Works in harsh industrial environments
  2. Operates from a single 5V supply
  3. Great for multipoint applications with long cables
  4. Mounting area of only 4.9mm x 3.91mm

1. Works in harsh industrial environments

The bus pins of this device have built-in ESD protection as described on the previous page and are highly noise immune. Capable of operating in an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C for harsh industrial environments.

2. Operates from a single 5V power supply

Operates on a single 5V power supply, no need for multiple power supplies

3. Great for multipoint applications with long cables

Devices in this family have a wide common-mode voltage range (extended operating common-mode voltage: ±15V) and are less prone to device breakdown and signal degradation, making them ideal for multipoint applications with long cable runs.

4. Only 4.9mm x 3.91mm mounting area

The THVD1550D package is an SOIC 8-pin. The size is as small as 4.9 mm x 3.91 mm, so it does not take up much space.
* The package differs depending on the model name.

Evaluation module for quick development of the THVD1550D

"RS485-HF-DPLX-EVM" is a common board for SOIC-8Pin half-duplex RS485 devices. This can be used to support rapid development and analysis of data transmission systems using the THVD1550D.
