GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM2795E-EP is a 5 kV rms signal isolated RS-485 trans-
ceiver that features up to 42 V of ac/dc peak bus overvoltage fault
protection on the RS-485 bus pins. The device integrates Analog
Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology to combine a 3-channel
isolator, RS-485 transceiver, and IEC electromagnetic compatibil-
ity (EMC) transient protection in a single package. The
ADM2795E-EP integrates fully certified DO-160G EMC protec-
tion on the RS-485 bus pins, with Section 22 lightning protection.
The ADM2795E-EP also provides Section 25 15 kV ESD air
discharge protection. For Section 22 lightning, the ADM2795E-EP
provides protection for Waveform 3, Waveform 4/ Waveform 1,
and Waveform 5A to Level 4 using 33 Ω or 47 Ω current
limiting resistors to GND2, or to Level 4 across the isolation
barrier to GND1. This device has an extended common-mode
input range of 25 V to improve data communication reliability in
noisy environments. The ADM2795E-EP is capable of operating
over wide power supply ranges, with a 1.7 V to 5.5 V VDD1 power
supply range, allowing interfacing to low voltage logic supplies.
The ADM2795E-EP is also fully TIA/EIA RS-485/RS-422
compliant when operated over a 3 V to 5.5 V VDD2 power supply.
The device is fully characterized over an extended operating
temperature range of −55°C to +125°C, and is available in a
16-lead, wide-body SOIC package.
