The ISO1176T is a robust, isolated RS-485 transceiver from Texas Instruments designed to provide efficient communication in industrial environments. This high-performance device integrates a bi-directional differential bus transceiver and an isolated DC-DC converter into a single package, offering a comprehensive solution for applications requiring isolated data communication and power.
Key Features
- Isolation: The ISO1176T features 2500-VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL1577, ensuring the protection of sensitive circuitry from the harsh electrical environments typically found in industrial settings.
- Signaling Rates: Capable of signaling rates up to 20 Mbps, the ISO1176T can be used in high-speed data communication applications, providing efficient data transfer with reduced signal degradation over longer distances.
- Bus-Pin Protection: The device includes fail-safe features that ensure a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted, or when they are connected to a terminated transmission line with all drivers disabled.
- Low Power Consumption: With a low bus and thermal shutdown current, the ISO1176T is an energy-efficient choice for modern industrial communication systems.
- Extended Temperature Range: The operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C allows the transceiver to perform reliably in extreme environmental conditions.
