Groundhog Day
Groundhog
PUNXSU-TAWNEY, Penn.— Feb. 2, 2013— It will be an early spring, according to Punxsutawney Phil.

“I left the isolation of my ground loop, and my current sense, my gauss, is an early spring.”

NEW!Narrow-Body Isolated
RS-485 and PROFIBUS Transceivers

Narrow-body SOIC Package
Think Thin!
NVE recently introduced narrow-body versions of the popular IL3585 high-speed RS-485 transceivers and IL3685 PROFIBUS-compliant transceivers.

World’s Smallest
The narrow-body versions, designated with the -3E suffix, are the world’s smallest isolated transceivers. The “dash 3” 0.15-inch wide, 1.8 mm clearance height 16-pin SOIC packages are half the size of other isolators.

Best-in-Class Specs
Both new transceivers feature best-in-class speed and efficiency specifications, including 40 Mbps data rate, 20 ns typical propagation delay, and 3 mA typical controller-side quiescent current.

Both meet or exceed ANSI RS-485 and ISO 8482:1987(E) industry standards. IL3685-3E transceivers are also fully PROFIBUS compliant, including the rigorous PROFIBUS differential output voltage specifications.

Rugged and Reliable
Designed for rugged industrial applications, NVE’s IL35- and IL36-Series isolated transceivers have a -40 to +85 degree Celsius temperature range, 15 kV bus ESD protection, and current limiting and thermal shutdown features. Receiver inputs feature a “fail-safe if open” design.

Parts are UL 1577 recognized and IEC 61010-1 approved. Unlike optocouplers or other isolation technologies, IsoLoop isolators have indefinite barrier life.

Available Now
The IL3585-3E and IL3685-3E are both in stock for immediate delivery.

NEW!RS-485 and PROFIBUS
Narrow-Body Isolator Eval Boards


Evaluation boards are available for both new narrow-body transceivers, the IL3585-3 and IL3685-3. Both boards provide complete nodes with reference design practices.

The RS-485 evaluation board includes an RJ45 bus connector, and the PROFIBUS board includes a PROFIBUS-standard DB9 connector.

PROFIBUS Evaluation Board

The evaluation boards demonstrate the space savings of NVE’s unique “dash 3” 0.15-inch wide, 1.8 mm clearance height packages. Other features include:
  • 40 Mbps data rate
  • 20 ns typical propagation delay
  • 3 mA typical controller-side quiescent current
  • 15 kV bus ESD protection
