11 / 16 page 11 FN6886.0 April 3, 2009 ESD Protection All pins on this device includes class 3 (>7kV) Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection structures, but the RS-485 pins (driver outputs and receiver inputs) incorporate advanced structures allowing them to survive ESD events in excess of ±16.5kV HBM and ±16.5kV (1/2 duplex) IEC61000-4-2. The RS-485 pins are particularly vulnerable to ESD strikes because they typically connect to an exposed port on the exterior of the finished product. Simply touching the port pins, or connecting a cable, can cause an ESD event that might destroy unprotected ICs. These new ESD structures protect the device whether or not it is powered up, and without degrading the RS-485 common mode range of -7V to +12V. This built-in ESD protection eliminates the need for board level protection structures (e.g., transient suppression diodes), and the associated, undesirable capacitive load they present. IEC61000-4-2 Testing The IEC61000 test method applies to finished equipment, rather than to an individual IC. Therefore, the pins most likely to suffer an ESD event are those that are exposed to the outside world (the RS-485 pins in this case), and the IC is tested in its typical application configuration (power applied) rather than testing each pin-to-pin combination. The IEC61000 standard’s lower current limiting resistor coupled with the larger charge storage capacitor yields a test that is much more severe than the HBM test. The extra ESD protection built into this device’s RS-485 pins allows the design of equipment meeting level 4 criteria without the need for additional board level protection on the RS-485 port. AIR-GAP DISCHARGE TEST METHOD For this test method, a charged probe tip moves toward the IC pin until the voltage arcs to it. The current waveform delivered to the IC pin depends on approach speed, humidity, temperature, etc., so it is difficult to obtain repeatable results. The ISL3158AE 1/2 duplex RS-485 pins withstand ±16.5kV air-gap discharges. CONTACT DISCHARGE TEST METHOD During the contact discharge test, the probe contacts the tested pin before the probe tip is energized, thereby eliminating the variables associated with the air-gap discharge. The result is a more repeatable and predictable test, but equipment limits prevent testing devices at voltages higher than ±9kV. The RS-485 pins of all the ISL3158AE versions survive ±9kV contact discharges. Data Rate, Cables, and Terminations RS-485/RS-422 are intended for network lengths up to 4000’, but the maximum system data rate decreases as the transmission length increases. Devices operating at 10Mbps are limited to lengths of less than 100’. Twisted pair is the cable of choice for RS-485/RS-422 networks. Twisted pair cables tend to pick up noise and other electromagnetically induced voltages as common mode signals, which are effectively rejected by the differential receivers in these ICs. Proper termination is imperative, when using the 10Mbps devices, to minimize reflections. Terminations are recommended unless power dissipation is an overriding concern. In point-to-point, or point-to-multipoint (single driver on bus) networks, the main cable should be terminated in its characteristic impedance (typically 120 Ω) at the end farthest from the driver. In multi-receiver applications, stubs connecting receivers to the main cable should be kept as short as possible. Multipoint (multi-driver) systems require that the main cable be terminated in its characteristic impedance at both ends. Stubs connecting a transceiver to the main cable should be kept as short as possible. Built-In Driver Overload Protection As stated previously, the RS-485 specification requires that drivers survive worst case bus contentions undamaged. These devices meet this requirement via driver output short circuit current limit circuitry. The driver output stages incorporate short circuit current limiting circuitry which ensures that the output current never exceeds the RS-485 specification, even at the common mode voltage range extremes. Low Power Shutdown Mode This CMOS transceiver uses a fraction of the power required by it’s bipolar counterparts, but it also includes a shutdown feature that reduces the already low quiescent ICC to a 70nA trickle. This device enters shutdown whenever the receiver and driver are simultaneously disabled (RE =VCC and DE = GND) for a period of at least 600ns. Disabling both the driver and the receiver for less than 60ns guarantees that the transceiver will not enter shutdown. Note that receiver and driver enable times increase when the transceiver enables from shutdown. Refer to Notes 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, at the end of the “Electrical Specification” table on page 6, for more information. ISL3158AE |
