RS485 8 Click is a compact add-on board that enables communication over an RS485 network. This board features the THVD1426, an RS485 transceiver with auto-direction control and ESD protection from Texas Instruments. The THVD1426 offers bus protection for contact discharge, air gap discharge, fast transient burst, and +/-16V bus fault protection. With its high immunity to IEC Contact Discharge ESD events, the bus pins require no additional system-level protection components. The transceiver works in half-duplex mode with data rates of up to 12Mbps. Additionally, the chip is known for its low power consumption and glitch-free power-up/power-down functionality, which enables hot plug-in capability.
This Click board™ makes the perfect solution for the development of industrial and multi-point applications over long cable runs.
