FN6887
±15kV ESD Protected, 3.3V, Full Fail-Safe, Low Power, High Speed or Slew Rate
Rev 3.00
Limited, RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
October 30, 2014
The Intersil ISL3178AE is ±15kV IEC61000 ESD protected, 3.3V-powered, single transceiver that meets both the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced communication. This device has very low bus currents (+125µA/-100µA), which presents 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.
