The ISL33334E, ISL33337E are two port interface ICs where
Features
port 1 is configured as a dual (2 Tx, 2 Rx) RS-232 transceiver
and port 2 is a single RS-485/RS-422 transceiver.
• ±15kV (HBM) ESD protected bus pins (RS-232 or RS-485)
• Operates from a single 3.3V supply
The on-board charge pump generates RS-232 compliant ±5V
Tx output levels from a single V supply as low as 3.15V. The
transceivers are RS-232 compliant, with the Rx inputs
handling up to ±25V.
• Two independent ports, port 1 set for RS-232 (2 Transceivers)
and port 2 for RS-485/RS-422 (1 transceiver)
CC
• True flow-through pinouts (Rx inputs and Tx outputs all on
the same side) simplify board layouts
The port 2 transceiver supports both the RS-485 and RS-422
differential communication standards. The receiver features
“full fail-safe” operation, so the Rx output remains in a high
state if the inputs are open or shorted together. The
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
• Full fail-safe (open/short) RS-485/422 Port 2 Rx
• User selectable RS-485 data rates
transmitter supports two data rates, one of which is slew rate
limited for problem free communication at low data rates. The
active low Rx enable pin (RE485) allows Tx/Rx direction
control, via a single signal, simply by connecting the
corresponding DE485 and RE485 pins together.

• QFN package saves board space (ISL33337E only)
The ISL33334E and ISL33337E also include a shutdown
function, which disables the Tx and Rx outputs, disables the
charge pumps and places the IC in a low current (40µA) mode.
The ISL33337E is a QFN packaged device for space
constrained applications.
