TSS721ADR

Texas Instruments · Interface - Specialized · SOIC-16

TSS721ADR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 BUSL2 bidirectional Meter-Bus differential line for power and data communication, receives bus voltage 10.8V to 42V in receiver mode, polarity independent.
2 VB power_in Rectified bus voltage supply from internal bridge rectifier delivering bus voltage less 1.5V rectifier drop, minimum 9.3V for receive operation.
3 STC power_in Support capacitor connection charged by internal constant current source CS1 to 3.8V to 7.5V with 1.8V voltage drop, stores energy for 3.3V regulator.
4 RIDD input Current adjustment input for STC charge current; external resistor 13kΩ to 80kΩ sets ISTC via voltage divider producing 1.23V to 1.33V at pin.
5 PF output Power fail output indicating critical bus voltage condition when VVB falls below VSTC + 0.3V, output 0V to 0.6V when power fail detected.
6 SC output Sampling capacitor pin driven by receiver charge/discharge currents to create dynamic reference level 5.7V to 8.2V for input voltage detection.
7 TXI output Inverted data output from receiver; logic level output 0V to 1.5V (low) or VBAT-0.6V (high) complementary to TX pin.
8 TX output Non-inverted data output from receiver; logic level output 0V to 1.5V (low) or VBAT-0.6V (high) representing detected meter-bus modulation.
9 BAT power_in Logic supply reference input voltage 2.5V to 3.8V maximum (≤ VSTC - 1V) setting thresholds for TX, TXI, RX, and RXI digital signals.
10 VS power_in Switched supply output connecting either meter-bus or battery supply to slave microcontroller, controlled by STC voltage comparator, 1MΩ resistance when off.
11 VDD power_out Regulated 3.3V output voltage 3.1V to 3.4V typical powered by charged STC capacitor, supplies slave microcontroller and sensors.
12 RX input Non-inverted data input to transmitter; logic input -0.3V to 5.5V with threshold 0V to 0.8V (low) controls modulation current for meter-bus transmission.
13 RXI input Inverted data input to transmitter; logic input -0.3V to 5.5V with threshold 0.8V to 5.5V (high) alternative control of modulation current.
14 RIS input Modulation current adjustment input; external resistor 100Ω to 1kΩ programs modulation current IMC 11.5mA to 19.5mA with voltage reference 1.4V to 1.8V.
15 GND power_in Ground reference; common ground return for all circuits and voltage measurements throughout the device.
16 BUSL1 bidirectional Meter-Bus differential line for power and data communication, receives bus voltage 10.8V to 42V in receiver mode, polarity independent to BUSL2.
