ISL3330, ISL3331
3.3V, ±15kV ESD Protected, Dual Protocol (RS-232/RS-485) Transceivers
These devices are BiCMOS interface ICs that are user
configured as either a single RS-422/RS-485 differential
transceiver, or as a dual (2 Tx, 2 Rx) RS-232 transceiver.
In RS-232 mode, the on-board charge pump generates
RS-232 compliant ±5V Tx output levels, from a supply as low
as 3.15V. Four small 0.1µF capacitors are required for the
charge pump. The transceivers are RS-232 compliant, with
the Rx inputs handling up to ±25V.
In RS-485 mode, the transceivers support both the RS-485
and RS-422 differential communication standards. The
RS-485 receiver features "full failsafe" operation, so the Rx
output remains in a high state if the inputs are open or
shorted together. The RS-485 transmitter supports up to
three data rates, two of which are slew rate limited for
problem free communications. The charge pump disables in
RS-485 mode, thereby saving power, minimizing noise, and
eliminating the charge pump capacitors.
Both RS-232/RS-485 modes feature loopback and shutdown
functions. The loopback mode internally connects the Tx
outputs to the corresponding Rx input, which facilitates the
implementation of board level self test functions. The outputs
remain connected to the loads during loopback, where
connection problems (e.g., shorted connectors or cables)
can be detected. The shutdown mode disables the Tx and
Rx outputs, disables the charge pump if in RS-232 mode,
and places the IC in a low current (30µA) mode.
The ISL3331 is a QFN packaged device that offers
additional functionality, including a lower speed and edge
rate option (115kbps) for EMI sensitive designs, or to allow
longer bus lengths. It also features a logic supply voltage pin
(V
L
) that sets the V
OH
level of logic outputs, and the
switching points of logic inputs, to be compatible with
another supply voltage in mixed voltage systems. The QFN's
choice of active high or low Rx enable pins increases design
flexibility, allowing Tx/Rx direction control via a single signal
by connecting DEN and RXEN together.
For a dual port version of these devices, please see the
ISL3332/ISL3333 data sheet.

Interface Mode Select input. High for RS-485 Mode and low for RS-232 Mode.
Driver output enable. The driver outputs, Y and Z, are enabled by bringing DEN high. They are high impedance when DEN
is low.
Ground connection.
No Connection.
In RS-232 mode only, ON high enables the charge pumps. ON low, with DEN and RXEN low (and RXEN high if QFN), turns
off the charge pumps (in RS-232 mode), and in either mode places the device in low power shutdown. In both modes, when
ON is low, and DEN is high, and RXEN is high or RXEN is low, loopback is enabled.
Receiver output enable. Rx is enabled when RXEN is high; Rx is high impedance when RXEN is low and, if using the QFN
package, RXEN is high. When using the QFN and the active high Rx enable function, RXEN should be high or floating.
Active low receiver output enable. Rx is enabled when RXEN is low; Rx is high impedance when RXEN is high and RXEN
is low. (i.e., to use active low Rx enable function, tie RXEN to GND). For single signal Tx/Rx direction control, connect RXEN
to DEN. Internally pulled high. (QFN only)
System power supply input (3.3V).
Logic-Level Supply. All TTL/CMOS inputs and outputs are powered by this supply. QFN logic input pins that are externally
tied high in an application, should use the V
