Data Sheet

±16.5kV ESD (IEC61000-4-2) Protected,
Large Output Swing, 5V, Full Fail-Safe, 1/8
Unit Load, RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver
The ISL3158AE is a BiCMOS, IEC61000 ESD protected, 5V
powered, single transceiver that meets both the RS-485 and
RS-422 standards for balanced communication. Each driver
output and receiver input is protected against ±16.5kV ESD
strikes without latch-up.
The ISL3158AE transmitter delivers exceptional differential
output voltages (2.4V min), into the RS-485 required 54Ω
load, for better noise immunity or to allow up to eight 120Ω
terminations in “star” or other non-standard bus topologies.
This device has very low bus currents (+125µA/-75µA), so it
presents 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.
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 bus. Rx outputs
feature high drive levels - typically 28mA @ VOL = 1V (to ease
the design of optocoupled isolated interfaces).
Hot Plug circuitry ensures that the Tx and Rx outputs remain
in a high impedance state until the power supply has
stabilized, and the Tx outputs are fully short circuit protected.

NOTES:
2. 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.
3. Supply current specification is valid for loaded drivers when DE = 0V.
4. Applies to peak current. See “Typical Performance Curves” beginning on page 12 for more information.
5. Keep RE = 0 to prevent the device from entering SHDN.
6. The RE signal high time must be short enough (typically <100ns) to prevent the device from entering SHDN.
7. Transceivers 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 600ns, the parts are guaranteed to have entered shutdown. See “Low Power
Shutdown Mode” on page 11.
8. Keep RE = VCC, and set the DE signal low time >600ns to ensure that the device enters SHDN.
9. Set the RE signal high time >600ns to ensure that the device enters SHDN.
10. See Figure 8 for more information, and for performance over-temperature.
11. For wafer sale, the switching test limits are established by characterization.
12. Limits established by characterization and are not production tested.

Receiver (Rx) Features
This device utilizes a differential input receiver for maximum
noise immunity and common mode rejection. Input sensitivity
is better than ±200mV, as required by the RS-422 and RS-485
specifications.
Rx outputs feature high drive levels (typically 28mA @
VOL = 1V to ease the design of optically coupled isolated
interfaces).
Receiver input resistance of 96kΩ surpasses the RS-422
specification of 4kΩ, and is eight times the RS-485 “Unit
Load (UL)” requirement of 12kΩ minimum. Thus, this
product is known as a “one-eighth UL” transceiver, and there
can be up to 256 of these devices on a network while still
complying with the RS-485 loading specification.
Rx inputs function with common mode voltages as great as
±7V outside the power supplies (i.e., +12V and -7V), making
them ideal for long networks where induced voltages are a
realistic concern.
All the receivers include a “full fail-safe” function 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.
Receivers easily meet the data rates supported by the
corresponding driver, and all receiver outputs are
three-statable via the active low RE input.
The ISL3158AE driver design delivers larger differential
output voltages (VOD) than the RS-485 standard requires, or
than most RS-485 transmitters can deliver. The minimum
±2.4V VOD guarantees at least ±900mV more noise
immunity than networks built using standard 1.5V VOD
transmitters.
Another advantage of the large VOD is the ability to drive
more than two bus terminations, which allows for utilizing the
ISL3158AE in “star” and other multi-terminated,
“non-standard” network topologies. Figure 8, details the
transmitter’s VOD vs IOUT characteristic, and includes load
lines for six (20Ω) and eight (15Ω) 120Ω terminations. The
figure shows that the driver typically delivers 1.65/1.5V into
6/8 terminations, even at the worst case temperature of
+85°C.The RS-485 standard requires a minimum 1.5V VOD
into two terminations, but the ISL3158AE delivers RS-485
voltage levels with 3x to 4x the number of terminations.
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 ISL3158AE
devices 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 ~3.4V. This gives the
processor/ASIC a chance to stabilize and drive the RS-485
control lines to the proper states.

Driver (Tx) Features
The RS-485/RS-422 driver is a differential output device that
delivers at least 2.4V across a 54Ω load (RS-485), and at
least 2.8V across a 100Ω load (RS-422). The driver features
low propagation delay skew to maximize bit width, and to
minimize EMI, and all drivers are three-stateable via the
active high DE input.

VCC (V)
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 long runs,
so the wide CMR is necessary to handle ground potential
differences, as well as voltages induced in the cable by
external fields.
High VOD Improves Noise Immunity and Flexibility
RECEIVER OUTPUT (V)
RS-485 and RS-422 are differential (balanced) data
transmission standards used for 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
combination of drivers and receivers) on each bus. To allow
for multipoint operation, the RS-485 specification requires
that drivers must handle bus contention without sustaining
any damage.
Outputs of the ISL3158AE driver is not limited, so faster
output transition times allow data rates of at least 10Mbps

ESD Protection
All pins on this device includes class 3 (>7kV) 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 and ±16.5kV (1/2 duplex)
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 this device’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
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 difficult to obtain
repeatable results. The ISL3158AE 1/2 duplex RS-485 pins
withstand ±16.5kV air-gap discharges.
CONTACT DISCHARGE TEST METHOD
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
higher than ±9kV. The RS-485 pins of all the ISL3158AE
versions survive ±9kV contact discharges.
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 receivers in these ICs.
Proper termination is imperative, when using the 10Mbps
devices, to minimize reflections. Terminations are
recommended unless power dissipation is an overriding
concern.
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
impedance at both ends. Stubs connecting a transceiver to
the main cable should be kept as short as possible.
Built-In Driver Overload Protection
As stated previously, the RS-485 specification requires that
drivers survive worst case bus contentions undamaged.
These devices meet this requirement via driver output short
circuit current limit 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.
Low Power Shutdown Mode
This CMOS transceiver uses a fraction of the power required
by it’s bipolar counterparts, but it also includes a shutdown
feature that reduces the already low quiescent ICC to a 70nA
trickle. This device 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 5, 6,
7, 8 and 9, at the end of the “Electrical Specification” table on
page 6, for more information.
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 10Mbps
are limited to lengths of less than 100’.
