Renesas Electronics Corporation Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers ISL31498EIBZ-T

The ISL31498EIBZ-T is a fault-protected, half-duplex differential transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication standards. It operates with a supply voltage of 5V and features bus pins that can withstand faults up to ±60V, enhancing its robustness in various applications. The device supports an extended common mode range of ±25V, which is more than double the standard requirement for RS-485, allowing for reliable operation in noisy environments. This transceiver is capable of data rates up to 15 Mbps and has a low quiescent supply current of 2.3 mA, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications. It includes a full fail-safe design for receiver inputs, ensuring a logic high output under conditions such as floating or shorted inputs. The ISL31498EIBZ-T also features hot plug capability, allowing for safe insertion and removal from the bus without disrupting communication. Applications for this transceiver include utility meters, factory automation, and industrial control networks, where high node counts and robust communication are essential. The device is available in an 8-lead SOIC package and is RoHS compliant.
