ISL8485ECBZ

ISL8485ECBZ is a ESD protected, BiCMOS 5V powered, single transceiver that meet both the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced communication. Each driver output/receiver input is protected against ±15KV ESD strikes without latch-up. It presents a “single unit load” to the RS-485 bus, which allows up to 32 transceivers on the network. Receiver (Rx) inputs feature a “fail-safe if open” design, which ensures a logic high Rx output if Rx inputs are floating. 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. Typical applications are factory automation, security networks, building environmental control systems, industrial/process control networks, level translators (such as RS-232 to RS-422, RS-232 “extension cords”.
