The Intersil ISL4486 and ISL81486 are BiCMOS, 5V powered, single transceivers that meet both the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced communication, and feature the larger output voltage and higher data rate - up to 40Mbps - required by high speed PROFIBUS applications. Unlike competitive products, these Intersil devices are specified for 10% tolerance supplies (4.5V to 5.5V) and deliver at least a 2.3V differential output voltage over this supply range. At the 5% tolerance specified by many competitors, the ISL4486 delivers an unsurpassed 2.5V differential signal into a 54 total load. This translates into longer reach, or better data integrity, at the exceptional 40Mbps data rate.
