INTERSIL ISL3298EMRTEP

16kV ESD Protected, +125°C, 3.0V to 5.5V, TDFN
Packaged, Low Power RS-485/RS-422 Transmitter
ISL3298EMRTEP
Features
The Intersil ISL3298EMRTEP is a ±16.5kV HBM ESD Protected
(7kV IEC61000 contact), 3.0V to 5.5V powered, single
transmitter for balanced communication using the RS-485 and
RS-422 standards. This driver has very low bus currents (±40mA),
so it presents less than a “1/8 unit load” to the RS-485 bus. This
allows more than 256 transmitters on the network without
violating the RS-485 specification’s 32 unit load maximum, and
without using repeaters.

Applications 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
transmitters and receivers 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.
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’, so the
wide CMR is necessary to handle ground potential differences, as
well as voltages induced in the cable by external fields.

FIGURE 5. USING VL PIN TO ADJUST LOGIC LEVELS
Logic Supply (VL Pin)
Note: Power-up VCC before powering up the VL supply.
The ISL3298EMRTEP is optimized for 3.3V operation, but can
be operated with supply voltages as high as 5.5V. This device
meets the RS-422 and RS-485 specifications for supply
voltages less than 4V, and is RS-422 and RS-485 compatible
for supplies greater than 4V. Operation at +125°C requires VCC
≤ 3.6V, while 5V operation requires adding output current
limiting resistors (as described in the “Driver Overload
Protection” on page 6) if output short circuits (e.g., from bus
contention) are a possibility.
5.5V Tolerant Logic Pins
Logic input pins (DI, DE) contain no ESD nor parasitic diodes to
VCC (nor to VL), so they withstand input voltages exceeding 5.5V
regardless of the VCC and VL voltages (see Figure 5).
The ISL3298EMRTEP includes a VL pin that powers the logic
inputs (DI and DE). These pins interface with “logic” devices such
as UARTs, ASICs, and µcontrollers, and today most of these
devices use power supplies significantly lower than 3.3V. Thus,
the logic device’s low VOH might not exceed the VIH of a 3.3V or
5V powered DI or DE input. Connecting the VL pin to the power
supply of the logic device (as shown in Figure 5) reduces the DI
and DE input switching points to values compatible with the logic
device’s output levels. Tailoring the logic pin input switching
points and output levels to the supply voltage of the UART, ASIC,
or µcontroller eliminates the need for a level shifter/translator
between the two ICs.
VL can be anywhere from VCC down to 1.35V, but the input
switching points may not provide enough noise margin, and
16Mbps data rates may not be achievable, when VL < 1.5V. The
E.C. table in the SMD indicates typical VIH and VIL values for
various VL settings so the user can ascertain whether or not a
particular VL voltage meets his/her needs.
The VL supply current (IL) is typically much less than 20µA, as
shown in Figure 9, when DE and DI are above/below VIH/VIL.

ISL3298EMRTEP
Hot Plug Function
Driver Overload Protection
When a piece of equipment powers-up, there is a period of time
where the processor or ASIC driving the RS-485 control line (DE)
is unable to ensure that the RS-485 Tx 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 ISL3298EMRTEP incorporates a “Hot Plug” function.
During power-up, circuitry monitoring VCC ensures that the Tx
outputs remain disabled for a period of time, regardless of the state
of DE. This gives the processor/ASIC a chance to stabilize and drive
the RS-485 control lines to the proper states.
As stated previously, the RS-485 specification requires that
drivers survive worst case bus contentions undamaged. These
drivers meet this requirement, for VCC ≤ 3.6V, via driver output
short circuit current limits, and on-chip thermal shutdown
circuitry.
ESD Protection
All pins on this device includes class 3 (8kV) Human Body
Model (HBM) ESD protection structures, but the RS-485 pins
(driver outputs) incorporate advanced structures allowing it to
survive ESD events in excess of ±16.5kV HBM and ±7kV to the
IEC61000 contact test method. The RS-485 pins are
particularly vulnerable to ESD damage 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.
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 16Mbps 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 receivers in
these ICs. 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 impedance at both ends. Stubs
connecting a transmitter or receiver to the main cable should be
kept as short as possible.
6
The driver output stages incorporate short circuit current limiting
circuitry which ensures that the output current never exceeds the
RS-485 specification, for VCC ≤ 3.6V, even at the common mode
voltage range extremes. Additionally, these devices utilize a
foldback circuit which reduces the short circuit current, and thus
the power dissipation, whenever the contending voltage exceeds
either VCC or GND.
In the event of a major short circuit condition, devices also include
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
re-enable after the die temperature drops about +20°C. If the
contention persists, the thermal shutdown/re-enable cycle repeats
until the fault is cleared.
At VCC > 3.6V, the instantaneous short circuit current is high enough
that output stage damage may occur during short circuit conditions
to voltages outside of GND to VCC, before the short circuit limiting
and thermal shutdown activate. For VCC = 5V operation, if output
short circuits are a possibility (e.g., due to bus contention), it is
recommended that a 5Ω resistor be inserted in series with each
output. This resistor limits the instantaneous current below levels
that can cause damage. The driver VOD at VCC = 5V is so large that
this small added resistance has little impact.
High Temperature Operation
Due to power dissipation and instantaneous output short circuit
current levels at VCC = 5V, these transmitters may not be
operated at +125°C with VCC > 3.6V.
At VCC = 3.6V, the device may be operated at +125°C, while
driving a 100’, double terminated, CAT 5 cable at 16Mbps,
without triggering the thermal SHDN circuit.
Low Power Shutdown Mode
This BiCMOS transmitter uses a fraction of the power required by
its bipolar counterparts and it also includes a shutdown feature
that reduces the already low quiescent ICC to a 1µA trickle. This
device enters shutdown whenever the driver disables (DE = GND).
