FN6886.1
±16.5kV ESD (IEC61000-4-2) Protected,
Large Output Swing, 5V, Full Fail-Safe, 1/8
Unit Load, RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver
Features
• High Driver V . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.4V (Min) @ R = 54
OD
- Better Noise Immunity, or Drive Up to 8 Terminations
D
The ISL3158AE is a BiCMOS, IEC61000 ESD protected, 5V
powered, single transceiver that meets both the RS-485 and
RS-422 standards for balanced communication. Each driver
output and receiver input is protected against ±16.5kV ESD
strikes without latch-up.
• IEC61000 ESD Protection on RS-485 I/O Pins . . ±16.5kV
- Class 3 ESD Level on all Other Pins . . . . . . >7kV HBM
• Full Fail-safe (Open, Short, Terminated and Undriven)
Receivers
• High Rx I to Drive Opto-Couplers for Isolated
OL
Applications
The ISL3158AE transmitter delivers exceptional differential
output voltages (2.4V min), into the RS-485 required 54
load, for better noise immunity or to allow up to eight 120
terminations in “star” or other non-standard bus topologies.
• Hot Plug Circuitry - Tx and Rx Outputs Remain
Three-State During Power-up/Power-down
• True 1/8 Unit Load Allows up to 256 Devices on the Bus
• Specified for Single 5V, 10% Tolerance, Supplies
This device has very low bus currents (+125µA/-75µA), so it
presents a true “1/8 unit load” to the RS-485 bus. This allows
up to 256 transceivers on the network without violating the
RS-485 specification’s 32 unit load maximum, and without
using repeaters.
• High Data Rates. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . up to 10Mbps
• Low Quiescent Supply Current . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .600µA
Ultra Low Shutdown Supply Current . . . . . . . . . . . . .70nA
Receiver (Rx) inputs feature a “Full Fail-Safe” design, which
ensures a logic high Rx output if Rx inputs are floating,
shorted, or on a terminated but undriven bus. Rx outputs
• -7V to +12V Common Mode Input Voltage Range
• Half Duplex Pinouts
feature high drive levels - typically 28mA @ V = 1V (to
OL
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
ease the design of optocoupled isolated interfaces).
• Three-State Rx and Tx Outputs
• Current Limiting for Driver Overload Protection
Hot Plug circuitry ensures that the Tx and Rx outputs remain
in a high impedance state until the power supply has
stabilized, and the Tx outputs are fully short circuit protected.
Applications
The ISL3158AE is a half duplex version. It multiplexes the
Rx inputs and Tx outputs to allow transceivers with output
disable functions in an 8 Ld package.
• Utility Meters and Automated Meter Reading Systems
• High Node Count Systems
• PROFIBUS® and Field Bus Networks, and Factory
Automation
• Security Camera Networks
• Building Lighting and Environmental Control Systems
• Industrial/Process Control Networks
