ISL3160EIBZ-T7A

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The ISL3160EIBZ-T7A is a full-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It operates on a single +5V supply and supports data rates up to 40 Mbps. The device features ±10kV IEC61000 ESD protection on RS-485 I/O pins and >3kV Class 3 HBM on other pins. It offers a large differential output voltage of 2.8V into 54Ω, ensuring high noise immunity. The unit load is 1/5, allowing up to 160 devices on the bus. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C for the IBZ suffix. Key electrical parameters include 11ns maximum Tx propagation delay, 1μA shutdown current, and a common-mode input range of -7V to +12V.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• High electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection compliant with IEC61000 standards on RS-485 I/O pins.
• Low unit load design enabling connection of up to 160 transceivers on a single bus without repeaters.
• Hot-plug capability ensures transmitter and receiver outputs remain in three-state during power-up.
• Integrated current limiting and thermal shutdown mechanisms protect against driver overload conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial automation networks requiring robust communication over long distances.
• Building automation systems utilizing RS-485 or RS-422 protocols.
• Isolated applications driving opto-couplers due to high receiver input low-level voltage.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IBZ' confirms the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the package type matches SOIC-8 narrow. Check RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with factory reel specifications. Validate that the component source is an authorized distributor to guarantee authenticity.
