Overview

TheLTM2885µModuletransceiverprovidesagalvanically-

isolated robust RS485/RS422 interface, powered by an

integrated, regulated DC/DC converter, complete with

decoupling capacitors. A switchable termination resistor

is integrated at the receiver input to provide proper termi-

nation to the RS485 bus. The LTM2885 is ideal for use in

networks where grounds can take on different voltages.

Isolation in the LTM2885 blocks high voltage differences

and eliminates ground loops and is extremely tolerant of

greater than 50kV/μs providing excellent noise isolation.

µModule Technology

The LTM2885 utilizes isolator µModule technology to

translate signals and power across an isolation barrier.

Signals on either side of the barrier are encoded into

pulses and translated across the isolation boundary using

coreless transformers formed in the µModule substrate.

This system, complete with data refresh, error checking,

safe shutdown on fail, and extremely high common mode

immunity, provides a robust solution for bidirectional

signal isolation. The µModule technology provides the

means to combine the isolated signaling with our RS485

transceiver and powerful isolated DC/DC converter in one

small package.

DC/DC Converter

The LTM2885 contains a fully integrated isolated DC/DC

converter, including the transformer, so that no external

components are necessary. The logic side contains a full-

bridge driver, running about 2MHz, and is AC-coupled to a

singletransformerprimary.AseriesDCblockingcapacitor

prevents transformer saturation due to driver duty cycle

imbalance. The transformer scales the primary voltage,

which is then rectified by a voltage doubler. This topology

eliminates transformer saturation caused by secondary

imbalances.

The DC/DC converter is connected to a low dropout reg-

ulator (LDO) to provide a regulated low noise 5V output.

The internal power solution is sufficient to support the

transceiver interface at its maximum specified load and

data rate. The logic supplies, VCC and VL have a 2.2µF

decoupling capacitance to GND and the isolated supply

VCC2 has a 2.2µF decoupling capacitance to GND2 within

the µModule package.

VCC2 Output

to output VCC2. VCC2 is capable of suppling up to 1W of

power at 5V. This surplus current is available to external

applications. The amount of surplus current is dependent

upon the implementation and current delivered to the

graph, VCC2 Surplus Current vs Temperature. Figure 21

demonstrates a method of using the VCC2 output directly

and with a switched power path that is controlled with the

isolated RS485 data channel.

Driver

The driver provides full RS485 and RS422 compatibility.

When enabled, if DI is high, Y–Z is positive. When the

driver is disabled, both outputs are high impedance with

less than 10µA of leakage current over the entire common

mode range of –7V to 12V, with respect to GND2.

Driver Overvoltage and Overcurrent Protection

The driver outputs are protected from short circuits to

any voltage within the absolute maximum range of (VCC2

–15V) to (GND2 +15V) levels. The maximum VCC2 cur-

rent in this condition is 250mA. If the pin voltage exceeds

about ±10V, current limit folds back to about half of the

peak value to reduce overall power dissipation and avoid

damaging the part.

The device also features thermal shutdown protection

that disables the driver and receiver output in case of

excessive power dissipation (see Note 4 in the Electrical

Characteristics section).

SLO Mode

The LTM2885 features a logic-selectable reduced slew

rate mode (SLO mode) that softens the driver output

edges to reduce EMI emissions from equipment and

data cables. The reduced slew rate mode is entered by
