DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1746A is an isolated RS485/RS422
μModule
®
transceiver + power featuring the LTM
The demo circuit is a 2500V
RS485/RS422 transceiver interface. The demo circuit
features an EMI optimized circuit confi guration and printed
circuit board layout. All components are integrated into
the μModule transceiver. The demo circuit operates from
a single external supply on V

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The LTM2881 contains an isolated DC/DC converter, de-
livering power to V
at 5V from the input supply, V
CC2
Isolation is maintained by the separation of GND and GND2
where signifi cant operating voltages and transients can
exist without affecting the operation of the LTM2881. The
logic side ON pin enables or shuts down the LTM2881.
RS485/RS422 signaling is controlled by the logic inputs
DE, DI, TE and RE. Connection to the transceiver pins (A,
B, Y and Z) allows full- or half-duplex operation on the
isolated side of the demo circuit. A full-/half-duplex switch
is included on the demo circuit to ease setting the system
confi guration. The SLO pin confi gures the slew rate of the
driver output pins Y and Z.

Data is transmitted out the driver pins Y and Z from the
input DI with DE set on. Data is received through the dif-
