Typical Application

Description

high performance RS-485/RS-422 devices are designed for improved

performance in noisy industrial environments and increased tolerance

to system faults.

The analog bus pins can withstand direct shorts up to ±60V and are

protected against ESD events up to ±15kV HBM. An extended ±25V

common mode operating range allows for more reliable operation in

noisy environments.

The XR3315x receivers include full fail-safe circuitry, guaranteeing a

logic high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open, shorted

or undriven. The XR33152/55 receiver input impedance is at least

120kΩ (1/10 unit load), allowing more than 320 devices on the bus.

The XR33156/58 receiver input impedance is at least 30kΩ (1/2.5

unit load), allowing more than 80 devices on the bus.

The drivers are protected by short circuit detection as well as thermal

shutdown and maintain high impedance in shutdown or when powered

off. The XR33152 driver is slew limited for reduced EMI and error-free

communication over long or unterminated data cables.

The XR3315x family of high performance RS-485/RS-422 devices are

designed for improved performance in noisy industrial environments

and increased tolerance to system faults.

The devices with DE and RE pins include hot swap circuitry to prevent

false transitions on the bus during power up or live insertion and can

enter a 1nA low current shutdown mode for extreme power savings.
