5V, Low Power, High Speed, RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
The ISL8485, ISL8490, and ISL8491 RS-485/RS-422
devices are BiCMOS 5V powered, single transceivers that
meet both the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced
communication. Unlike competitive devices, this family is
specified for 10% tolerance supplies (4.5V to 5.5V).
Features
• Specified for 10% tolerance supplies
• Class 3 ESD protection (HBM) on all pins: 7kV
• High data rates: up to 5Mbps
The ISL8485, ISL8490, and ISL8491 feature data rates up to
5Mbps.
• Single unit load allows up to 32 devices on the bus
All devices present a single unit load to the RS-485 bus,
which allows up to 32 transceivers on the network.
• -7V to +12V common-mode input voltage range
The receiver (Rx) inputs feature a “fail-safe if open” design,
which ensures a logic high Rx output if the Rx inputs are
floating.
The driver (Tx) outputs are short-circuit protected, even for
voltages exceeding the power supply voltage. Additionally,
on-chip thermal shutdown circuitry disables the Tx outputs to
prevent damage if power dissipation becomes excessive.
The ISL8490 and ISL8491 are configured for full duplex
(separate Rx input and Tx output pins) applications. Half
duplex configurations (ISL8485) multiplex the Rx inputs and
Tx outputs to allow transceivers with Rx and Tx disable
functions in 8 Ld packages.
• Low quiescent current: 500µA
• Three state Rx and Tx outputs (except ISL8490)
• 30ns propagation delays, 5ns skew
• Full duplex and half duplex pinouts
• Operation from a single +5V supply (10% tolerance)
• Current limiting and thermal shutdown for driver overload
protection
• Pb-free plus anneal (RoHS compliant)
Applications
• Factory automation
• Security networks
• Building environmental control systems
• Industrial/process control networks
• Level translators (for example, RS-232 to RS-422)
• RS-232 “extension cords”

Application Information
Data Rate, Cables, and Terminations
RS-485 and RS-422 are differential (balanced) data
transmission standards for use in long haul or noisy
environments. RS-422 is a subset of RS-485, so RS-485
transceivers are also RS-422 compliant. RS-422 is a point-tomultipoint (multidrop) standard, which allows only one driver
and up to 10 receivers on each bus, assuming one unit load
devices. RS-485 is a true multipoint standard, which allows up
to 32 one unit load devices (any combination of drivers and
receivers) on each bus. To allow multipoint operation, the RS485 specification requires that drivers must handle bus
contention without sustaining any damage.
RS-485/RS-422 are intended for network lengths up to 4000ft,
but the maximum system data rate decreases as the
transmission length increases. Devices operating at 5Mbps are
limited to lengths less than 100ft.
An important advantage of RS-485 is the extended
Common-Mode Range (CMR), which specifies that the driver
outputs and receiver inputs withstand signals that range from
+12V to -7V. RS-422 and RS-485 are intended for runs as long
as 4000ft, so the wide CMR is necessary to handle ground
potential differences, as well as voltages induced in the cable
by external fields.
In point-to-point networks or point-to-multipoint (single driver
on bus) networks, terminate the main cable in its characteristic
impedance (typically 120Ω) at the end farthest from the driver.
In multi-receiver applications, stubs connecting receivers to the
main cable should be kept as short as possible. In multipoint
(multi-driver) systems, terminate the main cable in its
characteristic impedance at both ends. Keep stubs connecting
a transceiver to the main cable as short as possible.
Receiver Features
These devices use a differential input receiver for maximum
noise immunity and common-mode rejection. Input sensitivity is
200mV, as required by the RS-422 and RS-485 specifications.
Receiver input impedance surpasses the RS-422 specification
of 4kΩ, and meets the RS-485 unit load requirement of 12kΩ
minimum.
Receiver inputs function with common-mode voltages as great
as 7V outside the power supplies (+12V and -7V), making
them ideal for long networks in which induced voltages are a
realistic concern.
All the receivers include a “fail-safe if open” function that
ensures a high level receiver output if the receiver inputs are
unconnected (floating).
Receivers easily meet the data rates supported by the
corresponding driver.
The ISL8485 and ISL8491 receiver outputs are three-statable
using the active low RE input.
Twisted pair cable is the cable of choice for RS-485/422
networks. Twisted pair cables tend to pick up noise and other
electromagnetically induced voltages as common-mode
signals, which are effectively rejected by the differential
receivers in these ICs.
Proper termination is imperative to minimize reflections when
using the 5Mbps devices.
Built-In Driver Overload Protection
The RS-485 specification requires that drivers survive worst
case bus contentions undamaged. The ISL84XX devices meet
this requirement using driver output short circuit current limits
and on-chip thermal shutdown circuitry.
The driver output stages incorporate short-circuit current
limiting circuitry that ensures the output current never exceeds
the RS-485 specification, even at the common-mode voltage
range extremes. These devices also use a foldback circuit that
reduces the short-circuit current, and thus the power
dissipation, whenever the contending voltage exceeds either
supply.
In the event of a major short-circuit condition, the ISL84XX
devices’ thermal shutdown feature disables the drivers
whenever the die temperature becomes excessive. This
eliminates the power dissipation, allowing the die to cool. The
drivers automatically re-enable after the die temperature drops
about 15°C. If the condition persists, the thermal shutdown/reenable cycle repeats until the fault is cleared. Receivers stay
operational during thermal shutdown.
Driver Features
The RS-485/RS-422 driver is a differential output device that
delivers at least 1.5V across a 54Ω load (RS-485), and at least
2V across a 100Ω load (RS-422). The drivers feature low
propagation delay skew to maximize bit width and to minimize
EMI.
The ISL8485 and ISL8491 drivers are three-statable using the
active high DE input.
The ISL8485 and ISL8491 driver outputs are not limited, so
faster output transition times allow data rates of at least
5Mbps.
