The Intersil ISL32x7xE are ±16.5kV IEC61000-4-2 ESD
Protected, 3.0V to 5.5V powered, QUAD transmitters for
balanced communication using the RS-422 standard. These
drivers have very low output leakage currents (±10µA), so
they present a low load to the RS-422 bus.
Driver (Tx) outputs are tri-statable, and incorporate a hot
plug feature to keep them disabled during power-up and
down. Versions are available with a common EN/EN
(‘172 pinout), a two channel EN12/EN34 (‘174 pinout), or a
versatile combination of individual and group channel
enables (see
Table 1).
The ISL32372E, ISL32374E utilize slew rate limited drivers
which reduce EMI and minimize reflections from improperly
terminated transmission lines, or from unterminated stubs in
multidrop and multipoint applications. Drivers on the other
versions are not limited, so they can achieve the 10Mbps or
32Mbps data rates. All versions are offered in industrial and
extended industrial (-40°C to +125°C) temperature ranges.
A 50% smaller footprint (compared to the TSSOP) is
available with the ISL32179E’s QFN package. This device
also features a logic supply pin (V
L
), that sets the switching
points of the enable and DI inputs to be compatible with a
lower supply voltage in mixed voltage systems. Two speed
select pins allow the ISL32179E user to select from three
slew rate options for 460kbps, 10Mbps, or 32Mbps data
rates. Individual channel and group enable pins increase the
ISL32179E’s flexibility.

FUNCTION
Group driver output enables, that are internally pulled high to V
CC
. All ISL32x72E driver outputs, Y and Z, are enabled by driving EN
high OR EN low, and the outputs are high impedance when EN is low AND EN is high (i.e., if using only the active high EN, connect
EN directly to V
CC
or V
L
; if using only the active low EN, connect EN directly to GND). On the ISL32179E accomplish group enable
by connecting all the ENX pins to V
CC
or V
L
, and then use the EN or EN pin as previously described. If the group driver enable
function isn’t required (see
Note 4),
connect EN to V
CC
, or connect EN to GND. (ISL32x72E and ISL32179E only)
Paired driver output enables, that are internally pulled high to V
CC
. Driving EN12 (EN34) high enables Channel 1 and 2 (3 and 4)
outputs (Y and Z). Driving EN12 (EN34) low disables Channel 1 and 2 (3 and 4) outputs. If the driver enable function isn’t required
(see
Note 4),
connect EN12 and EN34 to V
CC
. (ISL32x74E only)
Individual driver output enables that are internally pulled high to V
CC
. Forcing ENx high (along with EN high OR EN low) enables the
channel X outputs (Y and Z). Driving ENX low disables the Channel X outputs, regardless of the states of EN and EN. Connect both
EN and EN to V
CC
for the lowest SHDN current if utilizing SHDN mode (see SHDNEN below). If the individual driver enable function
isn’t required (see
Note 4),
connect ENX to V
CC
. (ISL32179E only)
Low power SHDN mode enable. A high level allows the ISL32179E to enter a low power mode when all channels are disabled. A low
level prevents the device from entering the low power mode. (ISL32179E only)
Driver input. A low on DI forces the corresponding channel’s output Y low and output Z high. Similarly, a high on DI forces output Y
high and output Z low.
Speed select inputs that are internally pulled-high. See ISL32179E Truth Table on
page 3.

Logic power supply input. Connecting the V
