The
ISL31490E, ISL31491E, ISL31492E, ISL31493E,
ISL31495E, ISL31496E, ISL31498E
are 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) are
protected against faults up to ±60V. 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 RS-485 family one of the
most 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 network 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 have high
drive levels - typically 15mA at V
OL
= 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 3
for
key features and configurations by device number.
For fault protected or wide common mode range devices with
cable invert (polarity reversal) please see the
ISL32485E
datasheet.

NOTES:
1. Add “-T*” suffix for tape and reel. Please refer to
TB347
for details on reel specifications.
2. Pb-free PDIPs can be used for through-hole wave solder processing only. They are not intended for use in Reflow solder processing applications.
3. These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special Pb-free material sets, molding compounds/die attach materials, and 100% matte
tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination finish, which is RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations). Intersil
Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
4. For Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), please see device information pages for
ISL31490E, ISL31491E, ISL31492E, ISL31493E, ISL31495E, ISL31496E,

FUNCTION
Receiver output: If A-B
≥
-10mV, RO is high; If A-B
≤
-200mV, RO is low; RO = High if A and B are
unconnected (floating), shorted together, or connected to an undriven, terminated bus.
Receiver output enable. RO is enabled when RE is low; RO is high impedance when RE is high.
Internally pulled low.
Driver output enable. The driver outputs, Y and Z, are enabled by bringing DE high. They are high
impedance when DE is low. Internally pulled high.
Driver input. A low on DI forces output Y low and output Z high. Similarly, a high on DI forces
output Y high and output Z low.
Ground connection. This is also the potential of the TDFN EPAD.
±60V Fault Protected RS-485/RS-422 level, non-inverting receiver input and non-inverting driver
output. Pin is an input if DE = 0; pin is an output if DE = 1.
±60V Fault Protected RS-485/RS-422 level, inverting receiver input and inverting driver output.
Pin is an input if DE = 0; pin is an output if DE = 1.
