Features
Intersil’s ISL3179E and ISL3180E are high ESD Protected
(see Table 1 below), 3.3V powered, single transceivers that
meet both the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced
communication. Each device has low bus currents
(+220µA/-150µA), so it presents a “1/5 unit load” to the
RS-485 bus. This allows up to 160 transceivers on the
network without violating the RS-485 specification’s 32 unit
load maximum, and without using repeaters.
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.
The ISL3180E is configured for full duplex applications. The
ISL3179E half duplex version multiplexes the Rx inputs and
Tx outputs to allow a transceiver with an output disable
function in 8 Ld packages.

FUNCTION
RO
Receiver output: If A-B ≥ -50mV, RO is high; If A-B ≤ -200mV, RO is low; RO = High if A and B are unconnected (floating) or shorted, or
connected to a terminated bus that is undriven.
RE
Receiver output enable. RO is enabled when RE is low; RO is high impedance when RE is high. If the Rx enable function isn’t required,
connect RE directly to GND.
DE
Driver output enable. The driver outputs, Y and Z, are enabled by bringing DE high, and they are high impedance when DE is low. If
the Tx enable function isn’t required, connect DE to VCC through a 1kΩ or greater 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.

NOTES:
3. 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.
4. Supply current specification is valid for loaded drivers when DE = 0V.
5. Applies to peak current. See “Typical Performance Curves” on page 11 for more information.
6. Because of the shutdown feature, keep RE = 0 to prevent the device from entering SHDN.
7. Because of the shutdown feature, the RE signal high time must be short enough (typically <100ns) to prevent the device from entering SHDN.
8. These IC’s are put into shutdown by bringing RE high and DE low. If the inputs are in this state for less than 60ns, the parts are guaranteed not
to enter shutdown. If the inputs are in this state for at least 700ns, the parts are guaranteed to have entered shutdown. See “Low Power
Shutdown Mode” on page 10.
9. Keep RE = VCC, and set the DE signal low time >700ns to ensure that the device enters SHDN.
10. Set the RE signal high time >700ns to ensure that the device enters SHDN.
11. This is the part-to-part skew between any two units tested with identical test conditions (Temperature, VCC, etc.).
12. VCC = 3.3V ±5%
13. Parameters with MIN and/or MAX limits are 100% tested at +25°C, unless otherwise specified. Temperature limits established by
characterization and are not production tested.

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
transceivers 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 mix of
drivers and receivers) on each bus. To allow for multipoint
operation, the RS-485 spec 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’ (~1200m), so the wide CMR is necessary to
handle ground potential differences, as well as voltages
induced in the cable by external fields.
Receiver (Rx) Features
This transceiver utilizes a differential input receiver for
maximum noise immunity and common mode rejection. Input
sensitivity is ±200mV, as required by the RS-422 and RS-485
specifications. Receiver inputs function with common mode
voltages as great as +9/-7V outside the power supplies
(i.e., +12V and -7V), making them ideal for long networks, or
industrial environments, where induced voltages are a
realistic concern.
The receiver input resistance of 50kΩ surpasses the RS-422
specification of 4kΩ, and is 5x the RS-485 “Unit Load” (UL)
requirement of 12kΩ minimum. Thus, the ISL3179E is
known as a “one-fifth UL” transceiver, and there can be up to
160 devices on the RS-485 bus while still complying with the
RS-485 loading specification.
The receiver is a “Full Fail-Safe” version that guarantees a
high level receiver output if the receiver inputs are
unconnected (floating), shorted together, or connected to a
terminated bus with all the transmitters disabled
(terminated/undriven).
Outputs of the drivers are not slew rate limited, so faster
output transition times allow data rates of at least 40Mbps.
Driver outputs are tri-statable via the active high DE input.
For parallel applications, bit-to-bit skews between any two
transmitter and receiver pairs are guaranteed to be no worse
than 8ns (4ns max for any two Tx, 4ns max for any two Rx).
ESD Protection
All pins on the ISL3179E and ISL3180E include class 3
(>9kV) Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection
structures, but the RS-485 pins (driver outputs and receiver
inputs) incorporate advanced structures allowing them to
survive ESD events in excess of ±16.5kV HBM (ISL3179E)
or ±12kV HBM (ISL3180E), and ±16.5kV (ISL3179E) or
±4kV (ISL3180E) IEC61000-4-2. The RS-485 pins are
particularly vulnerable to ESD strikes 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 (e.g., transient
suppression diodes), and the associated, undesirable
capacitive load they present.
IEC61000-4-2 Testing
The IEC61000 test method applies to finished equipment,
rather than to an individual IC. Therefore, the pins most likely
to suffer an ESD event are those that are exposed to the
outside world (the RS-485 pins in this case), and the IC is
tested in its typical application configuration (power applied)
rather than testing each pin-to-pin combination. The
IEC61000 standard’s lower current limiting resistor coupled
with the larger charge storage capacitor yields a test that is
much more severe than the HBM test. The extra ESD
protection built into the ISL3179E’s RS-485 pins allows the
design of equipment meeting level 4 criteria without the need
for additional board level protection on the RS-485 port.
AIR-GAP DISCHARGE TEST METHOD
Receivers easily meet the 40Mbps data rate supported by
the driver, and the receiver output is tri-statable via the active
low RE input.
For this test method, a charged probe tip moves toward the
IC pin until the voltage arcs to it. The current waveform
delivered to the IC pin depends on approach speed,
humidity, temperature, etc., so it is more difficult to obtain
repeatable results. The ISL3179E RS-485 pins withstand
±16.5kV air-gap discharges, while the ISL3180E’s RS-485
pins withstand ±4kV.
Driver (Tx) Features
CONTACT DISCHARGE TEST METHOD
The RS-485/RS-422 driver is a differential output device 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.
During the contact discharge test, the probe contacts the
tested pin before the probe tip is energized, thereby
eliminating the variables associated with the air-gap
discharge. The result is a more repeatable and predictable
test, but equipment limits prevent testing devices at voltages
Rx outputs deliver large low state currents (typically 28mA at
VOL = 1V) to ease the design of optically coupled isolated
networks.

higher than ±9kV. The RS-485 pins of the ISL3179E survive
±9kV contact discharges, while the ISL3180E’s RS-485 pins
withstand ±5kV.
Hot Plug Function
When a piece of equipment powers up, there is a period of
time where the processor or ASIC driving the RS-485 control
lines (DE, RE) is unable to ensure that the RS-485 Tx and
Rx outputs are kept disabled. If the equipment is connected
to the bus, a driver activating prematurely during power up
may crash the bus. To avoid this scenario, the ISL3179E and
ISL3180E incorporate a “Hot Plug” function. Circuitry
monitoring VCC ensures that, during power up and power
down, the Tx and Rx outputs remain disabled, regardless of the
state of DE and RE, if VCC is less than ~2.4V. This gives the
processor/ASIC a chance to stabilize and drive the RS-485
control lines to the proper states.

Data Rate, Cables, and Terminations
RS-485/RS-422 are intended for network lengths up to
4000’, but the maximum system data rate decreases as the
transmission length increases. Devices operating at 40Mbps
are limited to lengths 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 receiver in this IC.
impedance at both ends. Stubs connecting a transceiver to
the main cable should be kept as short as possible.
The ISL3179E, and ISL3180E may also be used at slower
data rates over longer cables, but there are some limitations.
The Rx is optimized for high speed operation, so its output
may glitch if the Rx input differential transition times are too
slow. Keeping the transition times below 500ns, which
equates to the Tx driving a 1000’ (305m) CAT 5 cable, yields
excellent performance over the full operating temperature
range.
Built-In Driver Overload Protection
As stated previously, the RS-485 specification requires that
drivers survive worst case bus contentions undamaged.
These transmitters meet this requirement via driver output
short circuit current limits, and on-chip thermal shutdown
circuitry.
The driver output stages incorporate short circuit current
limiting circuitry which ensures that the output current never
exceeds the RS-485 specification, even at the common mode
voltage range extremes. In the event of a major short circuit
condition, the device also includes 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 +15°C. If the contention
persists, the thermal shutdown/reenable cycle repeats until
the fault is cleared. Receivers stay operational during thermal
shutdown.
Low Power Shutdown Mode
This BiCMOS transceiver uses a fraction of the power
required by their bipolar counterparts, but it also includes a
shutdown feature that reduces the already low quiescent ICC
to a 50nA trickle. It enters shutdown whenever the receiver
and driver are simultaneously disabled (RE = VCC and
DE = GND) for a period of at least 600ns. Disabling both the
driver and the receiver for less than 60ns guarantees that
the transceiver will not enter shutdown.
Note that receiver and driver enable times increase when
the transceiver enables from shutdown. Refer to Notes 6, 7,
8, 9 and 10, at the end of the “Electrical Specification” table
on page 6, for more information.
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 multi-receiver applications, stubs
connecting receivers to the main cable should be kept as
short as possible. Multipoint (multi-driver) systems require
that the main cable be terminated in its characteristic
