В±15kV ESD, 5V, Full Fail-Safe, 1/8 Unit Load, RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers FN6085
Rev 10.00
February 15, 2016 The ISL8308xE are BiCMOS, ESD protected, 5V powered,
single transceivers that meet both the RS-485 and RS-422
standards for balanced communication. Each driver output,
and receiver input, is protected against В±15kV ESD strikes
without latch-up, and unlike competitive products, this Intersil
family is specified for 10% tolerance supplies (4.5V to 5.5V). Features These devices have very low bus currents (+125ВµA/-75ВµA),
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. Data for all
meters is then read out from the concentrator via a single
access port, or a wireless link. Full Fail-Safe (Open, Short, Terminated and Floating)
Receivers 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.
