ISL3178EIBZ-T7A

Overview

The ISL3178EIBZ-T7A is a single RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It operates on a 3.3V supply voltage and supports data rates up to 20 Mb/s. The device features one driver and one receiver, housed in an SOIC-8 surface-mount package. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and includes integrated ESD protection compliant with IEC61000 standards.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed differential communication at 20 Mb/s for RS-485 networks
• Provides robust ESD protection meeting IEC61000 requirements
• Operates efficiently on a single 3.3V power supply

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Building automation and security networks
• Data acquisition and sensor interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix T7A against official datasheets to confirm reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SOIC-8 footprints during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a half-duplex RS-485 interface is required at speeds up to 20 Mb/s. It is suitable for applications needing IEC61000 ESD immunity without external protection components. Compare against ISL3179E if higher data rates are necessary.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ISL3178E series of low-power RS-485 transceivers. It shares the same core functionality as the ISL3178EIBZ-T variant but differs in factory packaging configuration. The series is designed for reliable communication in noisy industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

ISL3178EIBZ-T serves as a direct functional substitute with identical electrical characteristics. Verify that the alternative packaging format meets assembly line requirements.
