8.3 Feature Description
Internal ESD protection circuits protect the transceiver against Electrostatic Discharges (ESD) according to IEC
61000-4-2 of up to ±8 kV (Contact Discharge), ±10 kV (Air Gap Discharge) and against electrical fast transients
(EFT) according to IEC 61000-4-4 of up to ±2 kV.
The THVD1500 provides internal biasing of the receiver input thresholds in combination with large input-
threshold hysteresis. With a positive input threshold of VIT+ = –50 mV and an input hysteresis of VHYS = 50 mV,
the receiver output remains logic high under a bus-idle or bus-short conditions without the need for external
failsafe biasing resistors. Device operation is specified over a wide temperature range from –40°C to 125°C.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
When the driver enable pin, DE, is logic high, the differential outputs A and B follow the logic states at data input
D. A logic high at D causes A to turn high and B to turn low. In this case, the differential output voltage defined
as VOD = VA – VB is positive. When D is low, the output states reverse, B turns high, A becomes low, and VOD is
negative.
When DE is low, both outputs turn high-impedance. In this condition the logic state at D is irrelevant. The DE pin
has an internal pull-down resistor to ground, thus when left open the driver is disabled (high-impedance) by
default. The D pin has an internal pull-up resistor to VCC, thus, when left open while the driver is enabled, output
A turns high and B turns low.
