The ISO15 is an isolated half-duplex differential line transceiver while the ISO35 is an isolated full-duplex
differential line driver and receiver for TIA/EIA 485/422 applications.
These devices are ideal for long transmission lines since the ground loop is broken to allow for a much larger
common-mode voltage range. The symmetrical isolation barrier of the device is tested to provide 2500 Vrms of
isolation for 60s between the bus-line transceiver and the logic-level interface.
Any cabled I/O can be subjected to electrical noise transients from various sources. These noise transients can
cause damage to the transceiver and/or near-by sensitive circuitry if they are of sufficient magnitude and
duration. These isolated devices can significantly increase protection and reduce the risk of damage to
expensive control circuits.
The ISO15 and ISO35 are qualified for use from –40°C to 85°C.
