The ISL31490E, ISL31491E, ISL31492E, ISL31493E, ISL31495E, ISL31496E, ISL31498E are fault protected, 5V powered, differential transceivers that exceed the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced communication. The RS-485 transceiver pins (driver outputs and receiver inputs) are protected against faults up to 60V. Additionally, the extended common mode range allows these transceivers to operate in environments with common mode voltages up to 25V (>2x the RS-485 requirement), making this RS-485 family one of the most robust on the market. Transmitters deliver an exceptional 2.5V (typical) differential output voltage into the RS-485 specified 54 load. This yields better noise immunity than standard RS-485 ICs, or allows up to six 120 terminations in star network topologies.
