Description
The ISL32450E through ISL32457E are 3.3V to 5V powered, fault protected, extended common mode range differential transceivers for balanced communication. The RS-485 bus pins (driver outputs and receiver inputs) are protected against overvoltages up to ±60V, and against ±15kV ESD strikes. These transceivers operate in environments with common mode voltages up to ±20V (exceeds the RS-485 requirement), making this
RS-485 family one of the more robust on the market.
Transmitters are RS-485 compliant with VCC ≥ 4.5V and deliver a 1.1V differential output voltage into the RS-485 specified 54Ω load even with VCC = 3V.
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 full fail-safe operation is maintained even when the Rx input polarity is switched (cable invert function on ISL32457E).
The ISL32457E includes a cable invert function that reverses the polarity of the Rx and Tx bus pins in case the cable is misconnected during installation.
