Description
The IL422 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
IL422 is the first isolated RS-422 interface in a standard 16-
p
in SOIC
package that meets the ANSI Standards EIA/TIA-422-B and RS-485
and is compatible with 3.3V input supplies.
The IL422 has current limiting and thermal shutdown features to
protect against output short circuits and bus contention situations that
could cause excessive power dissipation.

Notes (apply to both driver and receiver sections):
1. All voltage values are with respect to ne twork 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 Ω 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 form 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).

Application Information
Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity
This product has been tested for electrostatic sensitivity to the
limits stated in the specifications. However, NVE recommends that
all integrated circ uits be handled with appropriate care to avoid
damage. Damage caused by inappropriate ha ndling or storage could
range from performance degradation to complete failure.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
The IL422 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 below:
Cross-axis Field Direction
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 ha ve 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
Low ESR capacitors such as ceramic are required to decouple the
supplies. Both VDD1 and VDD2 must be bypassed with 47 nF
capacitors. These should be placed as close as possible to VDD pins
for proper operation. Additionally, V DD2 should have a 10 µF
tantalum capacitor connected in parallel with the 47 nF capacitor.
