Introduction
is evaluation board serves as an aid in
evaluating circuit protection on RS-485
serial device port solutions using Bourns®
TBU® High-Speed Protector (HSP), MOV
and TVS products to meet the required
industry standards on RS-485 port
interfaces. e recommended Bourns®
TBU® HSP solution oers enhanced
performance features over competing
technologies, which can help the design
engineer to increase the surge & transient
protection level on RS-485 ports and place
the entire circuit protection solution into
a smaller PCB area. Bourns has developed
a RS-485 evaluation board (measuring 50
mm x 25 mm x 1.2 mm) manufactured
using FR4 PCB with nickel gold plating on
top and bottom sides.
How to Connect the Evaluation
Board for Test Set-up
• Connect J1 and J2 to the exposed lines.
• Connect J3 and J4 to the RS-485
IC device.
* In addition to the two TBU® HSPs, the default
conguration of this board uses two MOVs (MOV1,
MOV2) and a single TVS diode array (TVS5). e board
allows dierent congurations:
• 2 MOVs (MOV1 and MOV2) may be replaced by
a) 2 single 2031 GDTs (GDT1 and GDT2)
or b) a dual 2030 GDT (GDT3, not yet released)
• 1 TVS diode array (TVS3) may be replaced with
a) 2 SMB TVS diodes (TVS1, TVS2) or b) 2 SOT23
TVS diodes (TVS3, TVS4) or c) 2 SOT23-5 thyristor
devices (TISP1, TISP2)
