FN6115.3
±15kV ESD Protected, 3.3V, Full Fail-s afe,
Low Power, High Speed or Slew Rate
Limited, RS-485/RS-422 Trans ceivers
Features
• Pb-Free Plus Anneal (RoHS Compliant)
• RS-485 I/O Pin ESD Protection . . . . . . . . . . . . . ±15kV HBM
The Intersil ISL8307XE are BiCMOS 3.3V powered, single
transceivers that meet both the RS-485 and RS-422
standards for balanced communication. These devices have
very low bus currents (+125µA/-100µA), so they present 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. For example, in a remote utility meter reading
system, individual meter readings are routed to a concentrator
via an RS-485 network, so the high allowed node count
minimizes the number of repeaters required.
- Class 3 ESD Level on all Other Pins . . . . . . >7kV HBM
• Full Fail-safe (Open, Short, Terminated/Floating)
Receivers
• Hot Plug - Tx and Rx Outputs Remain Three-state During
Power-up
• True 1/8 Unit Load Allows up to 256 Devices on the Bus
• Single 3.3V Supply
• High Data Rates. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . up to 20Mbps
• Low Quiescent Supply Current . . . . . . . . . . .800µA (Max)
- Ultra Low Shutdown Supply Current . . . . . . . . . . .10nA
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.
• -7V to +12V Common Mode Input/Output Voltage Range
• Half and Full Duplex Pinouts
Hot Plug circuitry ensures that the Tx and Rx outputs remain
in a high impedance state while the power supply stabilizes.
• Three State Rx and Tx Outputs Available
The ISL83070E through ISL83075E utilize slew rate limited
drivers which reduce EMI, and minimize reflections from
improperly terminated transmission lines, or unterminated
stubs in multidrop and multipoint applications. Slew rate limited
versions also include receiver input filtering to enhance noise
immunity in the presence of slow input signals.
• Current Limiting and Thermal Shutdown for driver
Overload Protection
• Tiny MSOP package offering saves 50% board space
Applications
• Automated Utility Meter Reading Systems
The ISL83070E, ISL83071E, ISL83073E, ISL83076E,
ISL83077E are configured for full duplex (separate Rx input
and Tx output pins) applications. The half duplex versions
multiplex the Rx inputs and Tx outputs to allow transceivers
with output disable functions in 8 lead packages.
• High Node Count Systems
• Field Bus Networks
• Security Camera Networks
• Building Environmental Control/ Lighting Systems
• Industrial/Process Control Networks
