The LTM®2882 is a complete galvanically isolated dual
RS232 μModule® (micromodule)transceiver. No external
components are required. A single 3.3V or 5V supply
powers both sides of the interface through an integrated,
isolated DC/DC converter. A logic supply pin allows easy
interfacing with different logic levels from 1.62V to 5.5V,
independent of the main supply.
Coupled inductors and an isolation power transformer
provide 2500VRMS ofisolationbetweenthe line transceiver
and the logic interface. This device is ideal for systems
with different grounds, allowing for large common mode
voltages. Uninterrupted communication is guaranteed for
common mode transients greater than 30kV/μs.
This part is compatible with the TIA/EIA-232-F standard.
Driver outputs are protected from overload and can be
shorted to ground or up to ±15V without damage. An
auxiliary isolated digital channel is available. This channel
allows configuration for half-duplex operation by controlling the DE pin.
Enhanced ESD protection allows this part to withstand up
to ±10kV (human body model) on the transceiver interface
pins to isolated supplies and across the isolation barrier
to logic supplies without latchup or damage.
