Fault Protected, Extended CMR, RS-485/RS-422
Transceivers with Cable Invert
ISL31480E, ISL31483E, ISL31485E, ISL31486E
The ISL3148xE are fault protected, 5V powered differential
Features
transceivers that exceed the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for
balanced communication. The RS-485 transceiver pins (driver
outputs and receiver inputs) are fault protected up to ±60V.
Additionally, the extended common mode range allows these
transceivers to operate in environments with common mode
voltages up to ±25V (>2X the RS-485 requirement), making this
fault protected RS-485 family one of the most robust on the
market.
Transmitters deliver an exceptional 2.5V (typical) differential
output voltage into the RS-485 specified 54Ω load. This yields
better noise immunity than standard RS-485 ICs, or allows up to
six 120Ω terminations in star network topologies.
Receiver (Rx) inputs feature a “Full Fail-Safe” design, which
ensures a logic high Rx output if Rx inputs are floating, shorted, or
on a terminated but undriven (idle) bus.
The ISL31483E, ISL31485E and ISL31486E include cable invert
functions that reverse the polarity of the Rx and/or Tx bus pins in
case the cable is misconnected. Unlike competing devices, Rx full
fail-safe operation is maintained even when the Rx input polarity is
switched.
The ISL31480E and ISL31486E feature a logic supply (V
L
) pin
that sets the V
OH
of the Rx outputs, and the switching points of
the logic input pins, to be compatible with a lower supply voltage
(down to 1.8V) in mixed voltage systems. See Table 1 on page 2
for key features and configurations by device number.

FUNCTION
Receiver output. On the ISL31480E, or if
INV or RINV is low, then: If
A - B
≥
-10mV, RO is high; if A - B
≤
-200mV,
RO is low. If INV or RINV is high, then: If B - A
≥
-10mV, RO is high; if B - A
≤
-200mV, RO is
low. In all cases, RO = High if A and B are
unconnected (floating), or shorted together,
or connected to an undriven, terminated
bus (i.e., Rx is always failsafe open, shorted,
and idle, even if polarity is inverted).
Receiver output enable. RO is enabled
when RE is low; RO is high impedance
when RE is high. Internally pulled low.
Driver output enable. The driver outputs, Y
and Z, are enabled by bringing DE high,
and they are high impedance when DE is
low. Internally pulled high (to V
L
on
ISL31480E and ISL31486E; to V
CC
on
other versions).
Driver input. On the ISL31480E, or if INV or
DINV is low, a low on DI forces output Y
low and output Z high, while a high on DI
forces output Y high and output Z low. The
output states relative to DI invert if INV or
DINV is high.
Ground connection.This is also the
potential of the TDFN EPAD.
±60V Fault Protected RS-485/RS-422
level I/O pin. On the ISL31480E, or if INV is
low, A/Y is the non-inverting receiver input
and non-inverting driver output. If INV is
high, A/Y is the inverting receiver input
and the inverting driver output. Pin is an
input if DE = 0; pin is an output if DE = 1.

FUNCTION
±60V Fault Protected RS-485/RS-422
level I/O pin. On the ISL31480E, or if INV is
low, B/Z is the inverting receiver input and
inverting driver output. If INV is high, B/Z
is the non-inverting receiver input and the
non-inverting driver output. Pin is an input
if DE = 0; pin is an output if DE = 1.
±60V Fault Protected RS-485/RS-422
level input. If RINV is low, then A is the non-
inverting receiver input. If RINV is high,
then A is the inverting receiver input.
±60V Fault Protected RS-485/RS-422
level input. If RINV is low, then B is the
inverting receiver input. If RINV is high,
then B is the non-inverting receiver input.
±60V Fault Protected RS-485/RS-422
level output. If DINV is low, then Y is the
non-inverting driver output. If DINV is
high, then Y is the inverting driver output
±60V Fault Protected RS-485/RS-422
level. If DINV is low, then Z is the inverting
driver output. If DINV is high, then Z is the
non-inverting driver output
System power supply input (4.5V to 5.5V).
Logic-Level Supply input (1.62V to V
CC
)
which powers all the TTL/CMOS inputs and
the RO output (logic pins). V
L
sets the V
IH
and V
IL
levels for logic input pins, and sets
the V
OH
level for the RO pin. Power up this
supply after V
CC
, and keep V
L
≤
V
CC
. To
minimize input current, logic input pins that
are strapped high externally should connect
to V
L
, but they may be connected to V
CC
if
necessary.
Receiver and driver polarity selection input.
When driven high this pin swaps the polarity
of the driver output and receiver input pins.
If unconnected (floating) or connected low,
normal RS-485 polarity conventions apply.
Internally pulled low.
Receiver polarity selection input. When
driven high this pin swaps the polarity of the
receiver input pins. If unconnected (floating)
or connected low, normal RS-485 polarity
conventions apply. Internally pulled low.
Driver polarity selection input. When driven
high this pin swaps the polarity of the driver
output pins. If unconnected (floating) or
connected low, normal RS-485 polarity
conventions apply. Internally pulled low.
