THVD1424 RS-485 transceiver with slew-rate control, integrated switchable termination and duplex switching

The THVD1424 is a flexible RS-485 transceiver for industrial applications. The device has features such as on-chip 120-Ω termination resistor, slew rate control and interchangeability between half and full duplex mode. All the features are pin-controlled. This enables the device to be used at any node location (end nodes or middle nodes) in any network, two-wire (half duplex) or 4-wire (full duplex), slow or fast. End-equipment designers can now design a common printed circuit board (PCB) and configure it via software for various application needs. This can save considerable design and qualification time for the customers.
