discharge. The result is a more repeatable and predictable
test, but equipment limits prevent testing devices at voltages
higher than ±9kV. Devices in this family survive ±9kV contact
discharges on the RS-422 pins.
Data Rate, Cables, and Terminations
RS-422 is intended for network lengths up to 4000’, but the
maximum system data rate decreases as the transmission
length increases. Devices operating at 32Mbps handle
lengths up to 328’ (100m) in 5V systems, and lengths up to
200’ (62m) in 3.3V systems (see Figures 31 and 32). The
460kbps versions can operate at full data rates with lengths
of thousands of feet. Note that system jitter requirements
may limit a network to shorter distances.
Twisted pair is the cable of choice for 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 RS-422 ICs.
Proper termination is imperative, when using the 10Mbps or
32Mbps devices, to minimize reflections. Short networks
using the 460kbps versions need not be terminated, but,
terminations are recommended unless power dissipation is
an overriding concern.
In point-to-point, or point-to-multipoint (multiple receivers on
bus) networks, the main cable should be terminated in its
characteristic impedance (typically 120Ω) 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.
Built-In Driver Overload Protection
The driver output stages incorporate short circuit current
limiting circuitry which ensures that the output current never

In the event of a major short circuit condition, devices also
include a thermal shutdown feature that disables the drivers
whenever the die temperature becomes excessive. This
eliminates the power dissipation, allowing the die to cool. The
drivers automatically re-enable after the die temperature
drops about 20°. If the fault persists, the thermal
shutdown/re-enable cycle repeats until the fault is cleared.

edge of its maximum allowed junction temperature. Using

designing for +125°C operation, be sure to measure the
application’s switching current, and include this in the
thermal calculations.
Low Power Shutdown Mode (ISL32179E Only)
These BiCMOS transmitters all use a fraction of the power
required by their bipolar counterparts, but the QFN version
includes a shutdown feature that reduces the already low
quiescent I
(SHDN) whenever the SHDNEN pin is high and all four
drivers are disabled (see “Pin Descriptions” on page 4). Note
that the enable times from SHDN are longer than the enable
times when the IC isn’t in SHDN.
