The ISL8489E and ISL8491E provide industry-leading speed, reach, data integrity, reliability and flexibility that designers of copper pair bus networks need to meet today's high-performance demands.
The ICs are ESD protected to 15kV on all transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) bus pins and up to 7kV on all logic pins, which greatly improves survivability from random static charges during manufacturing and use.
Packaged in 14-lead SOICs, the devices are rated for the industrial temperature range of -40 to +85C.
Exceeding the tolerance of many competing parts, the ICs operate with a +/-10% tolerance from a 5V supply (4.5 to 5.5V range), which reduces source supply requirements and cost.
Both the ISL8489E and ISL8491E are single-unit load devices that allow up to 32 nodes per bus and offer a choice of speed.
The ISL8489E is a 250Kbit/s datarate device that has slew rate limited drivers intended for long-run applications.
The ISL8491E is a 10Mbit/s device designed for high-speed short runs.
The ISL8489E and ISL8491E are available now.
The suggested resale price in 100 to 999-unit quantities is $1.10 for each IC.
