ISL3160EFBZ-T7A

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The ISL3160EFBZ-T7A is a low-power RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It operates from a single 3.3V supply and supports data rates up to 25 Mbps. The device features fail-safe circuitry that ensures a high logic state at the receiver output when inputs are open or disconnected. It includes thermal shutdown protection and ESD ratings exceeding ±15 kV according to Human Body Model standards. The component is housed in an 8-pin TSSOP package, suitable for space-constrained applications requiring reliable half-duplex communication.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated fail-safe mechanism guarantees a defined high state at the receiver output during input disconnection or fault conditions.
• Built-in thermal shutdown protection prevents damage during excessive power dissipation or overheating events.
• High electrostatic discharge immunity provides robust protection against human body model and machine model events.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Building automation networks
• Point-of-sale terminals

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the suffix -T7A to confirm tape-and-reel packaging quantity. Ensure compatibility with 3.3V logic levels. Check RoHS compliance status on the specific manufacturing lot. Confirm the package type matches the PCB footprint requirements before ordering.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for half-duplex RS-485 applications requiring low power consumption and high noise immunity. It is suitable for environments with moderate data rates up to 25 Mbps. Consider the TSSOP package size for board layout constraints. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the specific environmental requirements of the target application.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This transceiver belongs to the ISL316x family of RS-485/RS-422 devices. It shares functional similarities with other low-power variants but differs in packaging and reel specifications. The EF suffix indicates the TSSOP package option. The T7A suffix denotes the specific tape and reel configuration used for automated assembly processes.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may include the ISL3160EIBZ or ISL3160EZ depending on package requirements. Verify electrical characteristics such as slew rate and common-mode voltage range. Ensure substitute components meet the same ESD and thermal protection specifications for equivalent reliability.
