Description
The IL485W is a galvanically isolated, high-speed differential bus
transceiver, designed for bidirectional data communication on
balanced transmission lines. The devices use NVE’s patented*
IsoLoop spintronic Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) technology. The
IL485W is the first isolated RS-485 interface in a standard 16-pin
SOIC package that meets the ANSI Standards EIA/TIA-422-B and
RS-485 and is compatible with 3.3V input supplies.
The IL485W has current limiting and thermal shutdown features to
protect against output short circuits and bus contention situations that
could cause excessive power dissipation.
With 1 ns pulse skew and 16 ns propagation delay, the IL485W is
ideal for PROFIBUS applications.
DE/ISODE and IN1/OUT1 allow isolated RTSAS and DTSAS
handshaking.

Notes (apply to both driver and receiver sections):
1. All voltage values are with respect to network ground except differential I/O bus voltages.
2. Differential input/output voltage is measured at the noninverting terminal A with respect to the inverting terminal B.
3. Skew limit is the maximum propagation delay difference between any two devices at 25°C.
4. The power-off measurement in ANSI Standard EIA/TIA-422-B applies to disabled outputs only and
is not applied to combined inputs and outputs.
5. All typical values are at VDD1,VDD2 = 5 V or VDD1= 3.3 V and TA = 25°C.
6. The minimum VOD2 with a 100 load is either ½ VOD1 or 2 V, whichever is greater.
7. Δ|VOD| and Δ|VOC| are the changes in magnitude of VOD and VOC, respectively, that occur when the input is changed from one logic state to
the other.
8. This applies for both power on and power off, refer to ANSI standard RS-485 for exact condition.
The EIA/TIA-422-B limit does not apply for a combined driver and receiver terminal.
9. Includes 8 ns read enable time. Maximum propagation delay is 25 ns after read assertion.
10. Pulse skew is defined as |tPLH – tPHL| of each channel.
11. The relevant test and measurement methods are given in the Electromagnetic Compatibility section on p. 6.
12. External magnetic field immunity is improved by this factor if the field direction is “end-to-end” rather than to “pin-to-pin” (see diagram on p. 6).

Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity
This product has been tested for electrostatic sensitivity to the limits stated in the specifications. However, NVE recommends that all integrated
circuits be handled with appropriate care to avoid damage. Damage caused by inappropriate handling or storage could range from performance
degradation to complete failu re.

Application Information
Electromagnetic Compatibility
The IL485W is fully compliant with generic EMC standards
EN50081, EN50082-1 and the umbrella line-voltage standard for
Information Technology Equipment (ITE) EN61000. The
IsoLoop Isolator’s Wheatstone bridge configuration and
differential magnetic field signaling ensure excellent EMC
performance against all relevant standards. NVE conducted
compliance tests in the categories below:
EN50081-1
Residential, Commercial & Light Industrial
Methods EN55022, EN55014
EN50082-2: Industrial Environment
Methods EN61000-4-2 (ESD), EN61000-4-3 (Electromagnetic
Field Immunity), EN61000-4-4 (Electrical Transient Immunity),
EN61000-4-6 (RFI Immunity), EN61000-4-8 (Power Frequency
Magnetic Field Immunity), EN61000-4-9 (Pulsed Magnetic
Field), EN61000-4-10 (Damped Oscillatory Magnetic Field)
ENV50204
Radiated Field from Digital Telephones (Immunity
Test)
Immunity to external magnetic fields is even higher if
the field direction is “end-to-end” (rather than to
“pin-to-pin”) as shown in the diagram at right.
Dynamic Power Consumption
IsoLoop Isolators achieve their low power consumption from the
way they transmit data across the isolation barrier. By detecting the
edge transitions of the input logic signal and converting these to
narrow current pulses, a magnetic field is created around the GMR
Wheatstone bridge. Depending on the direction of the magnetic
field, the bridge causes the output comparator to switch following
the input logic signal. Since the current pulses are narrow, about
2.5 ns, the power consumption is independent of mark-to-space
ratio and solely dependent on frequency. This has obvious
advantages over optocouplers, which have power consumption
heavily dependent on frequency and time.
The approximate power supply current per channel is:
IIN = 40 x f x 1 mA
Where f = operating frequency
fMAX = 50 MHz
Power Supply Decoupling
Both VDD1 and VDD2 must be bypassed with 47 nF ceramic
capacitors. These should be placed as close as possible to VDD pins
for proper operation. Additionally, VDD2 should be bypassed with a
10 µF tantalum capacitor.
