ISL32498EIBZ

The ISL32498E is fault protected, 5V powered, differential transceivers that exceed the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced communication. The RS-485 transceiver pins (driver outputs and receiver inputs) is fault protected up to ±60V and are protected against ±16.5kV ESD strikes without latch-up. Additionally, the extended common mode range allows these transceivers to operate in environments with common mode voltages up to ±25V (>2x the RS-485 requirement), making this fault protected RS-485 family one of the most robust on the market. Transmitters (Tx) deliver an exceptional 2.5V (typical) differential output voltage into the RS-485 specified 54O load. This yields better noise immunity than standard RS-485 ICs or allows up to six 120O terminations in star network topologies. Receiver (Rx) inputs feature a “Full Fail-Safe” design that ensures a logic high Rx output if Rx inputs are floating, shorted, or on a terminated but undriven (idle) bus. Rx outputs have high drive levels; typically, 15mA at VOL = 1V (for opto-coupled, isolated applications). Half duplex (Rx inputs and Tx outputs multiplexed together) and full duplex pinouts are available. See Table 1 on page 2 for key features and configurations by device number. For fault protected or wide common mode range RS-485 transceivers with cable invert (polarity reversal).
