GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM2491E is an isolated data transceiver with ±± ꢀk EꢁD
protection and is suitable for high speed, half- or full-duplex
communication on multipoint transmission lines. For half-
duplex operation, the transmitter outputs and the receiver
inputs share the same transmission line. Transmitter output Pin
Y is linꢀed externally to receiver input Pin A, and transmitter
output Pin Z to receiver input Pin B.
The differential transmitter outputs and receiver inputs feature
electrostatic discharge circuitry that provides protection to
±± ꢀk using the human body model (HBM). The logic side of
the device can be powered with either a 5 k or a 3.3 k supply,
whereas the bus side requires an isolated 5 k supply.
The device has current-limiting and thermal shutdown features
to protect against output short circuits and situations where bus
contention could cause excessive power dissipation.
The ADM2491E is designed for balanced transmission lines
and complies with ANꢁI TIA/EIA Rꢁ-4±5-A-199± and IꢁO
±4±2: 19±7(E). The device employs Analog Devices, Inc.,
iCoupler® technology to combine a 3-channel isolator, a three-
state differential line driver, and a differential input receiver into
a single pacꢀage.
The ADM2491E is available in a wide body, 16-lead ꢁOIC
pacꢀage and operates over the −40°C to +±5°C temperature
range.
