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. • Specifications per DLA VID V62/10602 • Full Mil-Temp Electrical Performance from -55°C to +125°C • Controlled Baseline with One Wafer Fabrication Site and One Assembly/Test Site • Full Homogeneous Lot Processing in Wafer Fab • No Combination of Wafer Fabrication Lots in Assembly • Full Traceability Through Assembly and Test by Date/Trace Code Assignment • Enhanced Process Change Notification • Enhanced Obsolescence Management • Eliminates Need for Up-Screening a COTS Component • High ESD Protection on RS-485 Outputs . . . . ±16.5kV HBM - IEC61000-4-2 Contact Test Method. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ±7kV - Class 3 ESD Level on all Other Pins. . . . . . . . . . .>8kV HBM Hot Plug circuitry ensures that the Tx outputs remain in a high impedance state while the power supply stabilizes.

DRIVER DATA RATE 4 FN7607.1 July 28, 2011 ISL3298EMRTEP 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. VCC = +3.3V DI DE The ISL3298EMRTEP’s output transition times allow data rates of at least 16Mbps. Wide Supply Range VOH ≤ 2V VIH ≥ 2V VOH ≤ 2V ISL3293E TXD DEN GND UART/PROCESSOR VCC = +3.3V VCC = +2V VL Driver Features The driver is tri-statable via the active high DE input. If the Tx enable function isn’t needed, tie DE to VCC (or VL) through a 1kΩ to 3kΩ resistor. VIH ≥ 2V GND DI This 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. VCC = +2V DE VIH = 1.4V TXD VOH ≤ 2V VIH = 1.4V GND ISL3296E VOH ≤ 2V DEN GND UART/PROCESSOR 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. 5 FN7607.1 July 28, 2011 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).
