The ISL32430E, ISL32432E, ISL32433E, ISL32435E, and
Features
ISL32437E are 3.3V to 5V powered, fault protected, extended
• Fault protected RS-485 bus pins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . up to ±40V
common-mode range differential transceivers for balanced
communication. The RS-485 bus pins, driver outputs and
receiver inputs, are protected against overvoltages up to ±40V
and against ±15kV ESD strikes. Additionally, these transceivers
operate in environments with common-mode voltages up to
±15V (exceeds the RS-485 requirement), making this RS-485
family one of the most robust on the market.
• Extended common-mode range. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ±15V
larger than required for RS-485
• ±15kV HBM ESD protection on RS-485 bus pins
• Wide supply range . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3V to 5.5V
• Cable invert pin corrects for reversed cable connections
while maintaining Rx full fail-safe functionality (ISL32437E
only)
The transmitters are RS-485 compliant with V ≥ 4.5V and
CC
deliver a 1.1V differential output voltage into the RS-485
specified 54Ω load even with V = 3V.
• 1/4 Unit load for up to 128 devices on the bus
CC
• High transient overvoltage tolerance. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ±60V
• Full fail-safe (open, short, terminated) RS-485 receivers
• Choice of RS-485 data rates . . . . . . . . . . . . . 250kbps or 1Mbps
• Low quiescent supply current. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.1mA
• Ultra low shutdown supply current. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10µA
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
The receiver (Rx) inputs feature a full fail-safe design that
ensures a logic high Rx output if the Rx inputs are floating,
shorted, or on a terminated but undriven (idle) bus. The Rx full
fail-safe operation is maintained even when the Rx input polarity
is switched (cable invert function on ISL32437E).
The ISL32437E includes a cable invert function that reverses
the polarity of the Rx and Tx bus pins if the cable is
misconnected during installation.
Applications
