ISL3160EFBZ-T

Overview

The ISL3160EFBZ-T is a low-power RS-485 and RS-422 transceiver manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It operates from a single 3.3V supply and features fail-safe circuitry to ensure a high logic output when the differential inputs are open or shorted. The device supports data rates up to 10 Mbps and includes thermal shutdown protection. It is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package with a lead-free finish, designed for industrial communication applications requiring robust signal integrity and low power consumption.

Feature Summary

• Integrated fail-safe mechanism ensures defined output states during input disconnection
• Supports high-speed data transmission up to 10 Mbps on RS-485 and RS-422 networks
• Includes thermal shutdown protection to prevent damage under excessive load conditions

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Building automation and security networks
• Metering infrastructure communication

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FBZ' confirms the lead-free RoHS-compliant packaging and tape-and-reel shipping format. Confirm the manufacturer designation matches Renesas Electronics Corporation to avoid counterfeit components. Check the date code for freshness if long-term storage stability is required for sensitive manufacturing processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single 3.3V supply is available and RS-485/RS-422 compatibility is required. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified operating temperature range. Verify that the 10 Mbps data rate meets the system timing requirements without necessitating higher-speed alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ISL316x family of half-duplex transceivers. It shares functional similarities with other models in the series but is distinguished by its specific pinout, package type, and electrical characteristics optimized for 3.3V operation. It serves as a standard interface solution for serial communication in embedded systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the ISL3160EIBZ or ISL3160EZ depending on package preference. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before swapping. Cross-reference with equivalent parts from other manufacturers only after confirming full parameter alignment.
