Undervoltage Lockout
The supply pins have undervoltage detection that places the device in protected mode. This protects the bus
during an undervoltage event on either the V
CC
or V
RXD
supply pins.

APPLICATION NOTE: After an undervoltage condition is cleared and the supplies have returned to valid
levels, the device typically resumes normal operation in 300 µs.
FAULT Pin (SN65HVD257)
If one or more of the faults (TXD-Dominant Timeout, RXD dominant Timeout, Thermal Shutdown or
Undervoltage Lockout) occurs, the FAULT pin (open-drain) turns off, resulting in a high level when externally
pulled up to V
CC
or IO supply.
