Application Information
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.
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.
Receiver (Rx) Features
These devices utilize 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 @
V
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, these
products are known as “one-eighth UL” transceivers, 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.
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
drivers feature low propagation delay skew to maximize
bit width, and to minimize EMI, and all drivers are
three-statable via the active high DE input.

The 115kbps and 1Mbps driver outputs are slew rate
limited to minimize EMI, and to minimize reflections in
unterminated or improperly terminated networks.
Outputs of the ISL3156E and ISL3158E drivers are not
limited, so faster output transition times allow data rates
of at least 20Mbps.

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 ISL315xE devices incorporate a
“Hot Plug” function. Circuitry monitoring V
