QUAD, ±16.5kV ESD Protected, 3.0V to 5.5V, Low Power, RS-422 Transmitters The Intersil ISL32x7xE are ±16.5kV IEC61000-4-2 ESD Protected, 3.0V to 5.5V powered, QUAD transmitters for balanced communication using the RS-422 standard. These drivers have very low output leakage currents (±10μA), so they present a low load to the RS-422 bus. Driver (Tx) outputs are tri-statable, and incorporate a hot plug feature to keep them disabled during power-up and down. Versions are available with a common EN/EN (‘172 pinout), a two channel EN12/EN34 (‘174 pinout), or a versatile combination of individual and group channel enables (see Table 1). The ISL32372E, ISL32374E utilize slew rate limited drivers which reduce EMI, and minimize reflections from improperly terminated transmission lines, or from unterminated stubs in multidrop and multipoint applications. Drivers on the other versions are not limited, so they can achieve the 10Mbps or 32Mbps data rates. All versions are offered in Industrial and Extended Industrial (-40°C to +125°C) temperature ranges.
