OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The LTM2892-S requires two to four external power sup-
plies for operation, one for power and one for the signal
interface, on each side of the isolation barrier. The logic
supplies may be tied to the input supplies. Isolation is
maintained by the separation of GND1 and GND2 where
significant operating voltages and transients can exist
without affecting the operation of the LTM2892-S. The ON1
and/or ON2 pins enable or shut down the LTM2892-S, both
must be driven to their respective logic supply voltage for
proper operation. All SPI or Digital signals are referenced
to the logic supply pins V

SPI signaling is typically configured by defining the digital
pins as follows:
Logic Side: IN1 = SCK(IN), IN2 = SDI(IN), IN3 = CS(IN)
= SDOE, and OUTD = SDO(OUT).
Isolated Side: OUT1 = SCK(OUT), OUT2 = SDI(OUT),
OUT3 = CS(OUT), and IND = SDO(IN).
Reference Figure 1 for schematic representation.
No special precautions are required for low RF emissions.
EMI performance is shown in Figure 2, measured using
a gigahertz transverse electromagnetic (GTEM) cell and
method detailed in IEC 61000-4-20, Testing and Measure-
ment Techniques – Emission and Immunity Testing in
