±16.5kV ESD Protected, +125°C, 3.0V to 5.5V, SOT-23/TDFN Packaged, Low
Power, RS-485/RS-422 Transmitters
The ISL3295E and ISL3298E are ±16.5kV HBM ESD Protected
(7kV IEC61000 contact), 3.0V to 5.5V powered, single
transmitters for balanced communication using the RS-485
and RS-422 standards. These drivers have very low output
leakage current (±40µA), so they present less than a “1/8 unit
load” to the RS-485 bus. This allows more than 256
transmitters on the network without violating the RS-485
specification’s 32 unit load maximum, and without using
repeaters.
Features
Hot Plug circuitry ensures that the Tx outputs remain in a high
impedance state while the power supply stabilizes.
• Hot plug - Tx outputs remain three-state during power-up
Drivers on the ISL3295E and ISL3298E are not limited, so they
can achieve the 20Mbps data rate. They are offered in industrial
and extended industrial (-40°C to +125°C) temperature
ranges.
• High data rates. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . up to 20Mbps
A 26% smaller footprint is available with the ISL3298E TDFN
package. This device also features a logic supply pin (VL) that
sets the switching points of the DE and DI inputs to be
compatible with a lower supply voltage in mixed voltage
systems.
• -7V to +12V common-mode output voltage range
(VCC ≤ 3.6V only)
For companion single RS-485 receivers in micro packages,
please see the ISL3280E, ISL3281E, ISL3282E, ISL3283E,
ISL3284E datasheet.
• 5V tolerant logic inputs when VCC ≤5V

FUNCTION
DE
Driver output enable. The driver outputs, Y and Z, are enabled by
bringing DE high, and are high impedance when DE is low. If the
driver enable function isn’t needed, connect DE to VCC (or VL)
through a 1kΩ to 3kΩ resistor.
DI
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.
GND
Ground connection. This is also the potential of the TDFN
thermal pad.
Y
±15kV HBM, ±7kV IEC61000 (contact method) ESD Protected
RS-485/422 level, noninverting transmitter output.
Z
±15kV HBM, ±7kV IEC61000 (contact method) ESD Protected
RS-485/422 level, inverting transmitter output.
VCC
System power supply input (3.0V to 5.5V). On devices with a VL
pin powered from a separate supply, power-up VCC first.
VL
Logic-level supply which sets the VIL/VIH levels for the DI and DE
pins (ISL3298E only). If VL and VCC are different supplies,
power-up this supply after VCC, and keep VL ≤ VCC.

NOTES:
8. All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to device ground unless otherwise
specified.
9. Applies to peak current. See “Typical Performance Curves” on page 11 for more information.
10. tSKPP is the magnitude of the difference in propagation delays of the specified terminals of two units tested with identical test conditions (such as
VCC, temperature).
11. If the driver enable function is not needed, connect DE to VCC (or VL) through a 1kΩ to 3kΩ resistor.
12. Parts are 100% tested at +25°C. Over-temperature limits established by characterization and are not production tested.
13. Due to the high short-circuit current at VCC > 3.6V, the outputs must not be shorted outside the range of GND to VCC or damage may occur. To prevent
excessive power dissipation that may damage the output, the short-circuit current should be limited to ≤300mA during testing. It is best to use an
external resistor for this purpose, because the current limiting on the VO supply may respond too slowly to protect the output.
14. Typicals are measured at VCC = 3.3V for parameters specified with 3V ≤ VCC ≤ 3.6V, and are measured at VCC = 5V for parameters specified with
4.5V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V. If VCC isn’t specified, then a single “TYP” entry applies to both VCC = 3.3V and 5V, and two entries separated by a comma refer to
VCC = 3.3V and 5V, respectively.

Application Information
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
transmitters and receivers are also RS-422 compliant. RS-422 is
a point-to-multipoint (multidrop) standard, which allows only one
driver and up to 10 (assuming one unit load devices) receivers on
each bus. 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 for multipoint operation, the
RS-485 specification requires that drivers must handle bus
contention without sustaining any damage.
Another 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
4000’, so the wide CMR is necessary to handle ground potential
differences, as well as voltages induced in the cable by external
fields.
Driver Features
powered DI or DE input. Connecting the VL pin to the power
supply of the logic device (as shown in Figure 8) reduces the DI
and DE input switching points to values compatible with the logic
device’s output levels. Tailoring the logic pin input switching
points and output levels to the supply voltage of the UART, ASIC,
or µcontroller eliminates the need for a level shifter/translator
between the two ICs.
VCC = +3.3V
DI
DE
GND
The outputs of the ISL3295E and ISL3298E drivers are not slew
rate limited, so faster output transition times allow data rates of
at least 20Mbps.
Wide Supply Range
The ISL3295E and ISL3298E are optimized for 3.3V operation,
but can be operated with supply voltages as high as 5.5V. These
devices meet the RS-422 and RS-485 specifications for supply
voltages less than 4V, and are RS-422 and RS-485 compatible
for supplies greater than 4V. Operation at +125°C requires
VCC ≤ 3.6V, while 5V operation requires adding output current
limiting resistors (as described in the “Driver Overload
Protection” on page 10) if output short-circuits (for example,
from bus contention) are a possibility.
5.5V Tolerant Logic Pins
Logic input pins (DI, DE) contain no ESD nor parasitic diodes to
VCC (nor to VL), so they withstand input voltages exceeding 5.5V
regardless of the VCC and VL voltages.
Logic Supply (VL Pin, ISL3298E)
Note: If powered from separate supplies, power-up VCC before
powering up the VL supply and keep VL ≤ VCC.
The ISL3298E includes a VL pin that powers the logic inputs (DI
and DE). This pin interfaces with “logic” devices such as UARTs,
ASICs, and µcontrollers, and today most of these devices use
power supplies significantly lower than 3.3V. Thus, the logic
device’s low VOH might not exceed the VIH of a 3.3V or 5V

These RS-485/RS-422 drivers are differential output devices 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.
All drivers are tri-statable via the active high DE input. If the Tx
enable function is not needed, tie DE to VCC (or VL) through a 1kΩ
to 3kΩ resistor.

VL can be anywhere from VCC down to 1.35V, but the input
switching points may not provide enough noise margin and
20Mbps data rates may not be achievable, when VL < 1.5V.
Table 2 indicates typical VIH and VIL values for various VL settings
so you can ascertain whether or not a particular VL voltage meets
his needs.

Hot Plug Function
Driver Overload Protection
When a piece of equipment powers up, there is a period of time
where the processor or ASIC driving the RS-485 control line (DE)
is unable to ensure that the RS-485 Tx outputs are kept disabled.
If the equipment is connected to the bus, a driver activating
prematurely during power-up can crash the bus. To avoid this
scenario, the ISL329xE family incorporates a “Hot Plug” function.
During power-up, circuitry monitoring VCC ensures that the Tx
outputs remain disabled for a period of time, regardless of the state
of DE. This gives the processor/ASIC a chance to stabilize and drive
the RS-485 control lines to the proper states.
As stated previously, the RS-485 specification requires that
drivers survive worst case bus contentions undamaged. These
drivers meet this requirement, for VCC ≤ 3.6V, via driver output
short-circuit current limits and on-chip thermal shutdown
circuitry.
ESD Protection
All pins on these devices include class 3 (8kV) Human Body
Model (HBM) ESD protection structures, but the RS-485 pins
(driver outputs) incorporate advanced structures allowing them
to survive ESD events in excess of ±16.5kV HBM and ±7kV to
the IEC61000 contact test method. The RS-485 pins are
particularly vulnerable to ESD damage because they typically
connect to an exposed port on the exterior of the finished
product. Simply touching the port pins, or connecting a cable,
can cause an ESD event that might destroy unprotected ICs.
These new ESD structures protect the device whether or not it is
powered up and without degrading the RS-485 common-mode
range of -7V to +12V. This built-in ESD protection eliminates the
need for board level protection structures (such as transient
suppression diodes) and the associated, undesirable capacitive
load they present.
Data Rate, Cables and Terminations
The length of RS-485/RS-422 networks operating at 20Mbps is
limited to less than 100'. Twisted pair is the cable of choice for
RS-485/RS-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. In
point-to-point, or point-to-multipoint (single driver on bus)
networks, the main cable should be terminated in its
characteristic impedance (typically 120Ω) at the end farthest
from the driver. In multireceiver applications, stubs connecting
receivers to the main cable should be kept as short as possible.
Multipoint (multidriver) systems require that the main cable be
terminated in its characteristic impedance at both ends. Stubs
connecting a transmitter or receiver to the main cable should be
kept as short as possible.

The driver output stages incorporate short-circuit current limiting
circuitry, which ensures that the output current never exceeds the
RS-485 specification, for VCC ≤ 3.6V, even at the common-mode
voltage range extremes. Additionally, these devices utilize a
foldback circuit which reduces the short-circuit current and thus
the power dissipation, whenever the contending voltage exceeds
either VCC or GND.
In the event of a major short-circuit condition, devices also include
a thermal shutdown feature that disables the drivers whenever the
die temperature becomes excessive. This eliminates the power
dissipation, allowing the die to cool. The drivers automatically
reenable after the die temperature drops about +20°C. If the
contention persists, the thermal shutdown/reenable cycle repeats
until the fault is cleared.
At VCC > 3.6V, the instantaneous short-circuit current is high
enough that output stage damage can occur during short-circuit
conditions to voltages outside of GND to VCC, before the
short-circuit limiting and thermal shutdown activate. For
VCC = 5V operation, if output short-circuits are a possibility (for
example, due to bus contention), it is recommended that a 5Ω
resistor be inserted in series with each output. This resistor limits
the instantaneous current below levels that can cause damage.
The driver VOD at VCC = 5V is so large that this small added
resistance has little impact.
High Temperature Operation
Due to power dissipation and instantaneous output short-circuit
current levels at VCC = 5V, these transmitters may not be
operated at +125°C with VCC > 3.6V.
At VCC = 3.6V, even the SOT-23 versions may be operated at
+125°C, while driving a 100’, double terminated, CAT 5 cable at
20Mbps, without triggering the thermal SHDN circuit.
Low Power Shutdown Mode
These BiCMOS transmitters all use a fraction of the power
required by their bipolar counterparts, but they also include a
shutdown feature that reduces the already low quiescent ICC to a
1µA trickle. These devices enter shutdown whenever the driver
disables (DE = GND).
