ISL32740EVAL1Z 2. Functional Description
2. Functional Description
The ISL32740EIBZ is an isolated, 40Mbps, half-duplex RS-485 transceiver. The device incorporates a patented
refresh circuit to maintain the correct output state with respect to data input. At power-up, the bus outputs follow the
truth tables shown in Tables 1 and 2.
The DE input should be held low during power-up to prevent false drive data pulses on the bus. This is accomplished by
connecting DE using a 10kΩ pull-down resistor to GND1.
This transceiver uses a differential input receiver for maximum noise immunity and common-mode rejection. Input
sensitivity is ±200mV, as required by the RS-485 specification.
The receiver input resistance is 54kΩ minimum. The receiver includes a “fail-safe if open” function that ensures a
high-level receiver output if the receiver inputs are unconnected (floating). The receiver output is tri-statable through
the active low RE input.
The RS-485 driver is a differential output device that delivers at least 2.1V across a 54Ω purely differential load. The
driver features low propagation delay skew to maximize bit width and to minimize EMI.
The driver in the ISL32740E is tri-statable through the active high DE input. The outputs of the ISL32740E driver are
not slew rate limited, so faster output transition times allow data rates of at least 40Mbps.
Important Notice:
For convenience, an isolated DC/DC converter is used to provide the power supply across the isolation barrier. Its
isolation ratings however, are lower than those of the transceiver. Therefore, it must be ensured that the ground
potential difference between the left side (GND1, GND2) and the right side (GND3, GND4) of the board remain below
50VAC (see Figure 2.1 on page 4).

Both supplies, VDD1 and VDD2, must be bypassed with 100nF ceramic capacitors. These should be placed as close as
possible to the supply pins for proper operation.
