Description

The ISL31470E, ISL31472E, ISL31475E, ISL31478E are fault protected, extended common mode range differential transceivers that exceed the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced communication. The RS-485 bus pins (driver outputs and receiver inputs) are protected against overvoltages up to ±60V. 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 more robust on the market.

Transmitters deliver an exceptional 2.5V (typical) differential output voltage into the RS-485 specified 54Ω load. This yields better noise immunity than standard RS-485 ICs, or allows up to six 120Ω terminations in star topologies.

Receiver (Rx) inputs feature a Full Fail-Safe design which ensures a logic high Rx output if Rx inputs are floating, shorted, or on a terminated but undriven (idle) bus. Rx outputs feature high drive levels - typically 15mA @ VOL = 1V (to ease the design of opto-coupled isolated interfaces).

Half duplex (Rx inputs and Tx outputs multiplexed together) and full duplex pinouts are available.

For an RS-485 family with a ±25V extended common mode range, please see the ISL31490E and ISL31480E data sheets.

Design Tip

I see many manufacturers offer "+/-15kV ESD Protected" (or "High ESD") products. Does this mean that they all have the same level of protection?

Is there somewhere I can find out what simulations and models (e.g. Spice, PSpice, IBIS) are available on your website?
