±10kV ESD Protected, +125°C, 40Mbps, 5V, Full-Duplex, Full Fail-Safe RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver
FN8980 Rev.0.00 Mar 21, 2018
The ISL3160E is a ±10kV IEC61000 ESD protected, 5V powered, full-duplex transceiver that meets both the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced communication. It also features a large differential output voltage and high data rate (up to 40Mbps) and is offered in the standard industrial (-40°C to +85°C) and extended industrial (-40°C to +125°C) temperature ranges. The low bus currents (+220µA/-150µA) present a 1/5 unit load to the RS-485 bus. This allows up to 160 transceivers on the network without violating the RS-485 specification’s load limit and without using repeaters.
This transceiver requires a 5V ±10% tolerance supply, and delivers at least a 2.1V differential output voltage over this supply range. This translates into better noise immunity (data integrity), longer reach, or the ability to drive up to six 120Ω terminati.
