±15kV ESD Protected, 5V, Full Fail-Safe, Fractional (1/8) Unit Load, RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers

The ISL8308XE are BiCMOS, ESD protected, 5V powered,
single transceivers that meet both the RS-485 and RS-422
standards for balanced communication. Each driver output,
and receiver input, is protected against ±15kV ESD strikes
without latch-up, and unlike competitive products, this Intersil
family is specified for 10% tolerance supplies (4.5V to 5.5V).
