3 Description

The ISO3080 and ISO3086 devices are isolated fullduplex

differential line drivers and receivers while

the ISO3082 and ISO3088 devices are isolated

half-duplex differential line transceivers for TIA/EIA

485/422 applications.

These devices are ideal for long transmission lines

because 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 60 s per UL 1577 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 or

nearby 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 ISO3080, ISO3082, ISO3086, and ISO3088

device are qualified for use from –40°C to +85°C.
