Isolated RS485/RS422 Transceiver: 2500V
The LTM®2881 is a complete galvanically isolated full-
duplex RS485/RS422 µModule® transceiver. No external
components are required. A single supply powers both
sides of the interface through an integrated, isolated, low
noise, efficient 5V output DC/DC converter.

and the logic interface. This device is ideal for systems
where the ground loop is broken allowing for large com-
mon mode voltage variation. Uninterrupted communica-
tion is guaranteed for common mode transients greater
than 30kV/μs.
PEAK
Maximum data rates are 20Mbps or 250kbps in slew
limited mode. Transmit data, DI and receive data, RO, are
implemented with event driven low jitter processing. The
receiver has a one-eighth unit load supporting up to 256
nodes per bus. A logic supply pin allows easy interfacing
with different logic levels from 1.62V to 5.5V, independent
of the main supply.
