1. ADM3485EARZ Substitution Conclusion
The feasibility of using the ADM3485EARZ as a direct substitute is low, primarily due to critical electrical parameter incompatibilities with the original part. The key discrepancy lies in the supply voltage: the original SP1485EEN-L/TR is designed for a 5V system (4.75V-5.25V), whereas the ADM3485EARZ only supports a 3.3V system (3V-3.6V). Direct substitution would necessitate a redesign of the power supply circuitry; otherwise, the device will not function. Secondly, its data rate (10 Mbps) is only half that of the original part (20 Mbps), directly limiting communication bandwidth and making it unsuitable for high-speed transmission requirements. Although its receiver hysteresis (50 mV) is higher than the original's 20 mV, offering improved signal stability in noisy environments, this advantage does not offset the fundamental voltage and speed mismatches. Substitution may only be considered in applications where speed is not a constraint and the system power supply can be adjusted to 3.3V.
2. ISL4485EIBZ Substitution Conclusion
The ISL4485EIBZ represents a high-feasibility, drop-in replacement for the original SP1485EEN-L/TR, as its key performance specifications are compatible, with some parameters offering enhancements. The main difference is in receiver hysteresis: the ISL4485EIBZ features 70 mV, significantly higher than the original's 20 mV. This grants it superior immunity to signal noise, enabling stable operation in harsher electrical environments and thereby improving overall system reliability. Regarding core parameters, both devices share the same data rate (20 Mbps), ensuring no degradation in communication performance. Its supply voltage range (4.5V-5.5V) fully encompasses and is slightly wider than the original's 4.75V-5.25V, guaranteeing direct plug-and-play compatibility within the existing 5V system without any circuit modifications. This model not only serves as a complete functional replacement but also provides the added benefit of enhanced noise immunity.
