±15kV ESD Protected, 3.3V, Full Fail-Safe, Low Power, High Speed or Slew Rate
Limited, RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
The Renesas ISL317xE are ±15kV IEC61000 ESD
protected, 3.3V powered single transceivers that meet both
the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced
communication. These devices have very low bus currents
(+125µA/-100µA), so they present 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. For example, in
a remote utility meter reading system, individual meter
readings are routed to a concentrator using an RS-485
network, so the high allowed node count minimizes the
number of repeaters required.
Receiver (Rx) inputs feature a “Full Fail-Safe” design, which
ensures a logic high Rx output if Rx inputs are floating,
shorted, or terminated but undriven.
Hot Plug circuitry ensures that the Tx and Rx outputs remain
in a high impedance state while the power supply stabilizes.
The ISL3170E through ISL3175E utilize slew rate limited
drivers which reduce EMI, and minimize reflections from
improperly terminated transmission lines, or unterminated
stubs in multidrop and multipoint applications. Slew rate
limited versions also include receiver input filtering to
enhance noise immunity in the presence of slow input signals.
The ISL3170E, ISL3171E, ISL3173E, ISL3174E, ISL3176E,
and ISL3177E are configured for full duplex (separate Rx
input and Tx output pins) applications. The half duplex
versions multiplex the Rx inputs and Tx outputs to allow
transceivers with output disable functions in 8 Ld packages.

FUNCTION
Receiver output: If A-B
≥
-50mV, RO is high; If A-B
≤
-200mV, RO is low; if A and B are unconnected (floating) or shorted, RO = High.
Receiver output enable. RO is enabled when RE is low; RO is high impedance when RE is high. If the Rx enable function is not required,
connect RE directly to GND or through a 1kΩ to 3kΩ resistor to GND.
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 Tx enable
function is not required, connect DE to V
CC
through a 1kΩ to 3kΩ resistor.
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.
