SN65HVD1781: Output Typ of A-B (PIN6, PIN7)

Part Number: SN65HVD1781

Tool/software:

Hello Team, 

what kind ouf output structure has the transeiver. My customer asks if it is push pull for a and b channel. 

I found this appnote:

Does this transceiver has the same circuit tree? 

thanks

  • Yes; all RS-485 drivers have push/pull outputs (with reverse-current and overvoltage protection).

  • Hi Jan,

    Yes, that should be correct. The RS485/RS422 differential outputs are basically H-bridge drivers. They will be able to handle slight overvoltage and protect against back biasing using low forward voltage Schottky diodes. (As Clemens has stated).

    I think the older technology used BJTs, newer devices use FETs.
