ISO1500 3-kVRMS Basic Isolated RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver in Ultra-Small Package
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
The ISO1500 device is a galvanically-isolated
differential line transceiver for TIA/EIA RS-485 and
RS-422 applications. This device has a 3-channel
digital isolator and an RS-485 transceiver in an ultrasmall 16-pin SSOP package. The bus pins of this
transceiver are protected against IEC ESD contact
discharge and IEC EFT events. The receiver output
has a failsafe for bus open, short, and idle conditions.
The small solution size of ISO1500 greatly reduces
the board space required compared to other
integrated isolated RS-485 solutions or discrete
implementation with optocouplers and non-isolated
RS-485 transceiver.

Motor drives
The device is used for long distance communications.
Isolation breaks the ground loop between the
communicating nodes, allowing for a much larger
common mode voltage range. The symmetrical
isolation barrier of each device is tested to provide
3000 VRMS of isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577
between the bus-line transceiver and the logic-level
interface.
The ISO1500 device can operate from 1.71 V to 5.5
V on side 1 which lets the devices interface with lowvoltage FPGAs and ASICs. The supply voltage on
side 2 is from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This device supports a
wide operating ambient temperature range from
–40°C to +125°C.

Creepage and clearance requirements should be applied according to the specific equipment isolation standards of an application. Care
should be taken to maintain the creepage and clearance distance of a board design to ensure that the mounting pads of the isolator on
the printed-circuit board do not reduce this distance. Creepage and clearance on a printed-circuit board become equal in certain cases.
Techniques such as inserting grooves, ribs, or both on a printed circuit board are used to help increase these specifications.
ISO1500 is suitable for safe electrical insulation within the safety ratings. Compliance with the safety ratings shall be ensured by means
of suitable protective circuits.
Testing is carried out in air or oil to determine the intrinsic surge immunity of the isolation barrier.
Apparent charge is electrical discharge caused by a partial discharge (pd).
All pins on each side of the barrier tied together creating a two-pin device.

The maximum safety temperature, TS, has the same value as the maximum junction temperature, TJ, specified for the device. The IS
and PS parameters represent the safety current and safety power respectively. The maximum limits of IS and PS should not be
exceeded. These limits vary with the ambient temperature, TA.
The junction-to-air thermal resistance, RθJA, in the table is that of a device installed on a high-K test board for leaded surface-mount
packages. Use these equations to calculate the value for each parameter:
TJ = TA + RθJA × P, where P is the power dissipated in the device.
TJ(max) = TS = TA + RθJA × PS, where TJ(max) is the maximum allowed junction temperature.
PS = IS × VI, where VI is the maximum input voltage.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The ISO1500 device is an isolated RS-485/RS-422 transceiver designed to operate in harsh industrial
environments. This device supports data transmissions up to 1 Mbps. The ISO1500 device has a 3-channel
digital isolator and an RS-485 transceiver in an ultra-small SSOP package. The silicon-dioxide based capacitive
isolation barrier supports an isolation withstand voltage of 3 kVRMS and an isolation working voltage of 566 VPK.
Isolation breaks the ground loop between the communicating nodes and lets data transfer in the presence of
large ground potential differences. The wide logic supply of the device (VCC1) supports interfacing with 1.8-V, 2.5V, 3.3-V. and 5-V control logic. Functional Block Diagram shows the functional block diagram of the the halfduplex device.

8.3.1 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Considerations
Many applications in harsh industrial environment are sensitive to disturbances such as electrostatic discharge
(ESD), electrical fast transient (EFT), surge and electromagnetic emissions. These electromagnetic disturbances
are regulated by international standards such as IEC 61000-4-x and CISPR 22. Although system-level
performance and reliability depends, to a large extent, on the application board design and layout, the ISO1500
device has dedicated circuitry to help protect the transceiver from Contact ESD per IEC61000-4-2.
8.3.2 Failsafe Receiver
The differential receiver of the ISO1500 device has failsafe protection from invalid bus states caused by:
• Open bus conditions such as a broken cable or a disconnected connector
• Shorted bus conditions such as insulation breakdown of a cable that shorts the twisted-pair
• Idle bus conditions that occur when no driver on the bus is actively driving
The differential input of the RS-485 receiver is 0 in any of these conditions for a terminated transmission line.
The receiver outputs a failsafe logic-high state so that the output of the receiver is not indeterminate.

www.ti.com
SLLSF21D – SEPTEMBER 2018 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2020
The receiver thresholds are offset in the receiver failsafe protection so that the indeterminate range of the input
does not include a 0 V differential. The receiver output must generate a logic high when the differential input (VID)
is greater than 200 mV to comply with the RS-485 standard. The receiver output must also generate a output a
logic low when VID is less than –200 mV to comply with the RS-485 standard. The receiver parameters that
determine the failsafe performance are VTH+, VTH–, and VHYS. Differential signals less than –200 mV always
cause a low receiver output as shown in the Electrical Characteristics table. Differential signals greater than 200
mV always cause a high receiver output. A differential input signal that is near zero is still greater than the VTH+
threshold which makes the receiver output logic high. The receiver output goes to a low state only when the
differential input decreases by VHYS to less than VTH+.
The internal failsafe biasing feature removes the need for the two external resistors that are typically required
with traditional isolated RS-485 transceivers as shown in Figure 29.

8.3.3 Thermal Shutdown
The ISO1500 device has a thermal shutdown circuit to protect against damage when a fault condition occurs. A
driver output short circuit or bus contention condition can cause the driver current to increase significantly which
increases the power dissipation inside the device. An increase in the die temperature is monitored and the device
is disabled when the die temperature becomes 170℃ (typical) which lets the device decrease the temperature.
The device is enabled when the junction temperature becomes 163℃ (typical).
8.3.4 Glitch-Free Power Up and Power Down
Communication on the bus that already exist between a master node and slave node in an RS485 network must
not be disturbed when a new node is swapped in or out of the network. No glitches on the bus occur when the
device is:
• Hot plugged into the network in an unpowered state
• Hot plugged into the network in a powered state and disabled state
• Powered up or powered down in a disabled state when already connected to the bus
The ISO1500 device does not cause any false data toggling on the bus when powered up or powered down in a
disabled state with supply ramp rates from 100 µs to 10 ms.

A strongly driven input signal can weakly power the floating VCC1 through an internal protection diode and cause an undetermined
output.
When the driver enable pin, DE, is logic high, the differential outputs, A and B, follow the logic states at data
input, D. A logic high at the D input causes the A output to go high and the B output to go low. Therefore the
differential output voltage defined by Equation 1 is positive.
VOD = VA – VB
(1)
A logic low at the D input causes the B output to go high and the A output to go low. Therefore the differential
output voltage defined by Equation 1 is negative. A logic low at the DE input causes both outputs to go to the
high-impedance (Hi-Z) state. The logic state at the D pin is irrelevant when the DE input is logic low. The DE pin
has an internal pulldown resistor to ground. The driver is disabled (bus outputs are in the Hi-Z) by default when
the DE pin is left open. The D pin has an internal pullup resistor. The A output goes high and the B output goes
low when the D pin is left open while the driver enabled.

The receiver is enabled when the receiver enable pin, RE, is logic low. The receiver output, R, goes high when
the differential input voltage defined by Equation 2 is greater than the positive input threshold, VTH+.
VID = VA – VB
(2)
The receiver output, R, goes low when the differential input voltage defined by Equation 2 is less than the
negative input threshold, VTH–. If the VID voltage is between the VTH+ and VTH– thresholds, the output is
indeterminate. The receiver output is in the Hi-Z state and the magnitude and polarity of VID are irrelevant when
the RE pin is logic high or left open. The internal biasing of the receiver inputs causes the output to go to a
failsafe-high when the transceiver is disconnected from the bus (open-circuit), the bus lines are shorted to one
another (short-circuit), or the bus is not actively driven (idle bus).

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The ISO1500 device is designed for bidirectional data transfer on multipoint RS-485 networks. The design of
each RS-485 node in the network requires an ISO1500 device and an isolated power supply as shown in
Figure 32.
An RS-485 bus has multiple transceivers that connect in parallel to a bus cable. Both cable ends are terminated
with a termination resistor, RT, to remove line reflections. The value of RT matches the characteristic impedance,
Z0, of the cable. This method, known as parallel termination, lets higher data rates be used over a longer cable
length.
In half-duplex implementation, as shown in Figure 31, the driver and receiver enable pins let any node at any
given moment be configured in either transmit or receive mode which decreases cable requirements.
Integrated isolation barrier allows for communication between
nodes with large ground potential differences

Figure 32. Typical Application
9.2.1 Design Requirements
Unlike an optocoupler-based solution, which requires several external components to improve performance,
provide bias, or limit current, the ISO1500 device only requires external bypass capacitors to operate.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The RS-485 bus is a robust electrical interface suitable for long-distance communications. The RS-485 interface
can be used in a wide range of applications with varying requirements of distance of communication, data rate,
and number of nodes.
9.2.2.1 Data Rate and Bus Length
The RS-485 standard has typical curves similar to those shown in Figure 33. These curves show the inverse
relationship between signaling rate and cable length. If the data rate of the payload between two nodes is lower,
the cable length between the nodes can be longer.

Figure 33. Cable Length vs Data Rate Characteristics
Applications can increase the cable length at slower data rates compared to what is shown in Figure 33 by
allowing for jitter of 5% or higher. Use Figure 33 as a guideline for cable selection, data rate, cable length and
subsequent jitter budgeting.
9.2.2.2 Stub Length
In an RS-485 network, the distance between the transceiver inputs and the cable trunk is known as the stub. The
stub should be as short as possible when a node is connected to the bus. Stubs are a non-terminated piece of
bus line that can introduce reflections of varying phase as the length of the stub increases. The electrical length,
or round-trip delay, of a stub should be less than one-tenth of the rise time of the driver as a general guideline.
Therefore, the maximum physical stub length (L(STUB)) is calculated as shown in Equation 3.
L(STUB) ≤ 0.1 × tr × v × c
where
•
•
•
tr is the 10/90 rise time of the driver.
c is the speed of light (3 × 108 m/s).
v is the signal velocity of the cable or trace as a factor of c.
(3)
9.2.2.3 Bus Loading
The current supplied by the driver must supply into a load because the output of the driver depends on this
current. Add transceivers to the bus to increase the total bus loading. The RS-485 standard specifies a
hypothetical term of a unit load (UL) to estimate the maximum number of possible bus loads. The UL represents
a load impedance of approximately 12 kΩ. Standard-compliant drivers must be able to drive 32 of these ULs.
The ISO1500 device has 1/8 UL impedance transceiver and can connect up to 256 nodes to the bus.
10 Power Supply Recommendations
To make sure device operation is reliable at all data rates and supply voltages, a 0.1-μF bypass capacitor is
recommended at the logic and transceiver supply pins (VCC1 and VCC2). The capacitors should be placed as near
to the supply pins as possible. Side 2 requires one VCC2 decoupling capacitor on each VCC2 pin. If only one
primary-side power supply is available in an application, isolated power can be generated for the secondary-side
with the help of a transformer driver such as TI's SN6505B device. For such applications, detailed power supply
design and transformer selection recommendations are available in the SN6505 Low-Noise 1-A Transformer
Drivers for Isolated Power Supplies data sheet.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
A minimum of four layers is required to accomplish a low EMI PCB design (see Figure 34). Layer stacking should
be in the following order (top-to-bottom): high-speed signal layer, ground plane, power plane and low-frequency
signal layer.
• Routing the high-speed traces on the top layer avoids the use of vias (and the introduction of their
inductances) and allows for clean interconnects between the isolator and the transmitter and receiver circuits
of the data link.
• Placing a solid ground plane next to the high-speed signal layer establishes controlled impedance for
transmission line interconnects and provides an excellent low-inductance path for the return current flow.
• Placing the power plane next to the ground plane creates additional high-frequency bypass capacitance of
approximately 100 pF/in2.
• Routing the slower speed control signals on the bottom layer allows for greater flexibility as these signal links
usually have margin to tolerate discontinuities such as vias.
Figure 35 shows the recommended placement and routing of the device bypass capacitors and optional TVS
diodes. Put the two VCC2 bypass capacitors on the top layer and as near to the device pins as possible. Do not
use vias to complete the connection to the VCC2 and GND2 pins. If an additional supply voltage plane or signal
layer is needed, add a second power or ground plane system to the stack to keep it symmetrical. This makes the
stack mechanically stable and prevents it from warping. Also the power and ground plane of each power system
can be placed closer together, thus increasing the high-frequency bypass capacitance significantly.
Refer to the Digital Isolator Design Guide for detailed layout recommendations.
11.1.1 PCB Material
For digital circuit boards operating at less than 150 Mbps, (or rise and fall times greater than 1 ns), and trace
lengths of up to 10 inches, use standard FR-4 UL94V-0 printed circuit board. This PCB is preferred over cheaper
alternatives because of lower dielectric losses at high frequencies, less moisture absorption, greater strength and
stiffness, and the self-extinguishing flammability-characteristics.
