DATASHEET
ISL3179E, ISL3180E
High ESD Protected, 40Mbps, 3.3V, Full Fail-Safe RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
The ISL3179E and ISL3180E are high ESD protected (see
Features
Table 2 on page 2), 3.3V powered, single transceivers that
• High ESD protection on RS-485 I/O pins
meet both the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced
communication. Each device has low bus currents
(+220µA/-150µA), so they present a “1/5 unit load” to the
RS-485 bus. This allows up to 160 transceivers on the network
without violating the RS-485 specification’s 32 unit load
maximum, and without using repeaters.
- ISL3179E . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ±16.5kV IEC61000
- ISL3180E . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ±12kV HBM
- Class 3 HBM level on all other pins (ISL3179E). . . . . >9kV
• Specified for +125°C operation (ISL3179EF Only)
• High data rates. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .up to 40Mbps
• 5V tolerant logic inputs
Receiver (Rx) inputs feature a “full fail-safe” design, which
ensures a logic high Rx output if Rx inputs are floating,
shorted, or terminated but undriven.
• 1/5 unit load allows up to 160 devices on the bus
• Full fail-safe (open, shorted, terminated/undriven) receiver
The ISL3180E is configured for full duplex applications. The
ISL3179E half duplex version multiplexes the Rx inputs and Tx
outputs to allow a transceiver with an output disable function
in 8 Ld packages.
• Hot plug - Tx and Rx outputs remain three-state during
power-up
• Low quiescent current . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4mA (max)
• Low current shutdown mode . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1µA (max)
• -7V to +12V common-mode input voltage range
• Three-state Rx and Tx outputs
Hot plug circuitry ensures that the Tx and Rx outputs remain in
a high impedance state while the power supply stabilizes.
Applications
• Motor controller/position encoder systems
• 16/16.5ns (max) Tx/Rx propagation delays; 1.5ns (max) skew
• Operates from a single +3.3V supply (10% tolerance)
• Factory automation
• Field bus networks
• Current limiting and thermal shutdown for driver overload
protection
• Security networks
• Building environmental control systems
• Industrial/process control networks
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
