GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM2481 differential bus transceiver is an integrated,
galvanically isolated component designed for bidirectional data
communication on balanced, multipoint bus transmission lines.
It complies with ANSI EIA/TIA-485-A and ISO 8482: 1987(E).
Using iCoupler® technology from Analog Devices, Inc., the
ADM2481 combines a 3-channel isolator, a three-state differential line driver, and a differential input receiver into a single
package. The logic side of the device is powered with either a
5 V or 3 V supply, and the bus side uses a 5 V supply only.
The ADM2481 is slew-limited to reduce reflections with improperly terminated transmission lines. The controlled slew rate
limits the data rate to 500 kbps. The input impedance of the
device is 96 kΩ, allowing up to 256 transceivers on the bus. Its
driver has an active-high enable feature. The driver differential
outputs and receiver differential inputs are connected internally
to form a differential I/O port. When the driver is disabled or
when VDD1 or VDD2 = 0 V, this imposes minimal loading on
the bus. An active-high receiver disable feature, which causes
the receiver output to enter a high impedance state, is provided
as well.
The receiver inputs have a true fail-safe feature that ensures a
logic-high receiver output level when the inputs are open or
shorted. This guarantees that the receiver outputs are in a
known state before communication begins and at the point
when communication ends.
Current limiting and thermal shutdown features protect against
output short circuits and bus contention situations that might
cause excessive power dissipation. The part is fully specified
over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C and is
available in a 16-lead, wide body SOIC package.

Common-mode transient immunity is the maximum common-mode voltage slew rate that can be sustained while maintaining specification-compliant operation.
VCM is the common-mode potential difference between the logic and bus sides. The transient magnitude is the range over which the common mode is slewed. The
common-mode voltage slew rates apply to both rising and falling common-mode voltage edges.

Receiver Output Data. When enabled, if (A − B) ≥ −30 mV, then RxD = high; if (A − B) ≤ −200 mV, then
RxD = low. This is a tristate output when the receiver is disabled, that is, when RE is driven high.
Receiver Enable Input. This is an active-low input. Driving this input low enables the receiver, and
driving it high disables the receiver.
Driver Enable Input. Driving the input high enables the driver, and driving it low disables the driver.
Transmit Data Input. Data to be transmitted by the driver is applied to this input.
Ground (Bus Side).
No Connect.
Noninverting Driver Output/Receiver Input. When the driver is disabled, or when VDD1 or VDD2 is

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ELECTRICAL ISOLATION
iCoupler Technology
In the ADM2481, electrical isolation is implemented on the
logic side of the interface. Therefore, the part has two main
sections: a digital isolation section and a transceiver section (see
Figure 26). Driver input and data enable signals, applied to the
TxD and DE pins, respectively, and referenced to logic ground
(GND1), are coupled across an isolation barrier to appear at the
transceiver section referenced to isolated ground (GND2).
Similarly, the receiver output, referenced to isolated ground in
the transceiver section, is coupled across the isolation barrier
to appear at the RxD pin referenced to logic ground (GND1).
The digital signals are transmitted across the isolation barrier
using iCoupler technology. This technique uses chip-scale
transformer windings to couple the digital signals magnetically from one side of the barrier to the other. Digital inputs
are encoded into waveforms that are capable of exciting the
primary transformer winding. At the secondary winding, the
induced waveforms are then decoded into the binary value that
was originally transmitted.

TRUTH TABLES
TRUE FAIL-SAFE RECEIVER INPUTS
The following truth tables use the abbreviations shown in Table 9.
The receiver inputs have a true fail-safe feature that ensures that
the receiver output is high when the inputs are open or shorted.
During line-idle conditions, when no driver on the bus is
enabled, the voltage across a terminating resistance at the
receiver input decays to 0 V. With traditional transceivers,
receiver input thresholds specified between −200 mV and
+200 mV mean that external bias resistors are required on the
A and B pins to ensure that the receiver outputs are in a known
state. The true fail-safe receiver input feature eliminates the
need for bias resistors by specifying the receiver input threshold between −30 mV and −200 mV. The guaranteed negative
threshold means that when the voltage between A and B decays
to 0 V, the receiver output is guaranteed to be high.

MAGNETIC FIELD IMMUNITY
Because iCouplers use a coreless technology, no magnetic
components are present, and the problem of magnetic saturation of the core material does not exist. Therefore, iCouplers
have essentially infinite dc field immunity. The analysis that
follows defines the conditions under which this might occur.
The 3 V operating condition of the ADM2481 is examined
because it represents the most susceptible mode of operation.

THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The ADM2481 contains thermal shutdown circuitry that
protects the part from excessive power dissipation during
fault conditions. Shorting the driver outputs to a low impedance
source can result in high driver currents. The thermal sensing
circuitry detects the increase in die temperature under this
condition and disables the driver outputs. This circuitry is
designed to disable the driver outputs when a die temperature
of 150°C is reached. As the device cools, the drivers are re-enabled
at a temperature of 140°C.
The limitation on the ac magnetic field immunity of the
iCoupler is set by the condition in which the induced error
voltage in the receiving coil (the bottom coil in this case) is
made sufficiently large, either to falsely set or reset the decoder.
The voltage induced across the bottom coil is given by
⎛ − dβ ⎞
2
V =⎜
⎟ ∑ πrn ; n = 1, 2, ... , N
⎝ dt ⎠
where, if the pulses at the transformer output are greater than
1.0 V in amplitude:
β is the magnetic flux density (gauss).
N is the number of turns in receiving coil.
rn is the radius of nth turn in receiving coil (cm).
The decoder has a sensing threshold of about 0.5 V; therefore,
there is a 0.5 V margin in which induced voltages can be
tolerated.
Rev. 0 | Page 14 of 20
ADM2481
These magnetic flux density values are shown in Figure 28,
using more familiar quantities such as maximum allowable
current flow, at given distances away from the ADM2481
transformers.
Given the geometry of the receiving coil and an imposed
requirement that the induced voltage is, at most, 50% of the
0.5 V margin at the decoder, a maximum allowable magnetic
field is calculated, as shown in Figure 27.

Figure 27. Maximum Allowable External Magnetic Flux Density
For example, at a magnetic field frequency of 1 MHz, the
maximum allowable magnetic field of 0.2 kGauss induces a
voltage of 0.25 V at the receiving coil. This is about 50% of the
sensing threshold and does not cause a faulty output transition.
Similarly, if such an event occurs during a transmitted pulse
and is the worst-case polarity, it reduces the received pulse from
>1.0 V to 0.75 V. This is well above the 0.5 V sensing threshold
of the decoder.

At combinations of strong magnetic field and high frequency,
any loops formed by printed circuit board traces could induce
large enough error voltages to trigger the thresholds of succeeding circuitry. To avoid this possibility, take care in the layout of
such traces.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
In applications involving high common-mode transients, take
care to ensure that board coupling across the isolation barrier
is minimized. Furthermore, the board layout must be designed
such that any coupling that does occur equally affects all pins
on a given component side.
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) LAYOUT
The ADM2481 signal isolated RS-485 transceiver requires no
external interface circuitry for the logic interfaces. Power supply
bypassing is required at the input and output supply pins (see
Figure 29).
Failure to ensure this can cause voltage differentials between
pins that exceed the absolute maximum ratings of the device,
thereby leading to latch-up or permanent damage.
Bypass capacitors are most conveniently connected between
Pin 1 and Pin 2 for VDD1 and between Pin 15 and Pin 16 for
VDD2. The capacitor value must be between 0.01 μF and 0.1 μF.
The total lead length between both ends of the capacitor and
the input power supply pin must not exceed 20 mm.

ADM2481
The ADM2481 requires isolated power capable of 5 V at
100 mA to be supplied between the VDD2 and GND2 pins. If
no suitable integrated power supply is available, a discrete
circuit, such as the one in Figure 30, can be used. A centertapped transformer provides electrical isolation. The primary
winding is excited with a pair of square waveforms that are 180°
out of phase with each other. A pair of Schottky diodes and a
smoothing capacitor are used to create a rectified signal from
the secondary winding. The ADP3330 linear voltage regulator
provides a regulated power supply to the bus-side circuitry of
the ADM2481.
