ISL3280E, ISL3281E, ISL3282E,

The Intersil ISL3280E, ISL3281E, ISL3282E, ISL3283E, ISL3284E, ISL3285E are ±16.5kV IEC61000 ESD Protected, 3.0V to 5.5V powered, single receivers that meet both the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced communication. These receivers have very low bus currents
(+125μA/-100μA), so they present a true “1/8 unit load” to the RS-485 bus. This allows up to 256 receivers on the network without violating the RS-485 specification’s 32 unit load
maximum and without using repeaters.
Receiver inputs feature a “Full Fail-Safe” design, which
ensures a logic high Rx output if Rx inputs are floating,
shorted, or terminated but undriven.
The ISL3280E and ISL3284E feature an always enabled Rx;
the ISL3281E and ISL3285E feature an active high Rx
enable pin, and the ISL3282E and ISL3283E include an active low enable pin. All versions are offered in Industrial and Extended Industrial (-40°C to +125°C) temperature ranges.
