ISL8563E User Guide - Intel Silicon Intersil
Summary
The ISL8563E is a specialized transmitter/receiver designed for rock-solid RS-422 and RS-232 communication. Built for portable electronics like laptops, PDAs, and field equipment, it provides enhanced noise immunity via its wide ±5V output swing. Key features include robust ESD protection up to ±15kV and extremely low standby power consumption (1µA). The manual details comprehensive technical specifications, power supply compatibility (3V to 5.5V), operational modes, and detailed pin-out information for seamless integration into any system requiring reliable serial communication.
