GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM2484E is an isolated data transceiver with ±15 kV
ESD protection suitable for high speed, half- or full-duplex
communication on multipoint transmission lines. For halfduplex operation, the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs
share the same transmission line. Transmitter Output Pin Y
links externally to Receiver Input Pin A, and Transmitter
Output Pin Z links externally to Receiver Input Pin B.
Designed for balanced transmission lines, the ADM2484E
complies with ANSI TIA/EIA RS-485-A-1998 and ISO 8482:
1987(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 package.
The differential transmitter outputs and receiver inputs feature
electrostatic discharge circuitry that provides protection up to
±15 kV using the human body model (HBM). The logic side of
the device can be powered with either a 5 V or a 3.3 V supply,
whereas the bus side requires an isolated 3.3 V supply.
The device has current-limiting and thermal shutdown features
to protect against output short circuits and situations where bus
contention causes excessive power dissipation.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ELECTRICAL ISOLATION
TRUTH TABLES
In the ADM2484E, 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 25). The driver input signal, which is applied to the
TxD pin and referenced to the logic ground (GND1), is coupled
across an isolation barrier to appear at the transceiver section
referenced to the isolated ground (GND2). Similarly, the
receiver input, which is referenced to the isolated ground in the
transceiver section, is coupled across the isolation barrier to
appear at the RxD pin referenced to the logic ground.
The truth tables in this section use the abbreviations shown
in Table 9.

Description

iCoupler Technology
The digital signals transmit 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
decoded into the binary value that was originally transmitted.
Positive and negative logic transitions at the input cause narrow
(~1 ns) pulses to be sent to the decoder via the transformer. The
decoder is bistable and is, therefore, set or reset by the pulses,
indicating input logic transitions. In the absence of logic
transitions at the input for more than ~1 μs, a periodic set of
refresh pulses, indicative of the correct input state, are sent to
ensure dc correctness at the output. If the decoder receives no
internal pulses for more than about 5 μs, then the input side is
assumed to be unpowered or nonfunctional, in which case the
output is forced to a default state (see Table 10).

The ADM2484E 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 re-enable at
a temperature of 140°C.

FLUX DENSITY (kGAUSS)
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
TRUE FAIL-SAFE RECEIVER INPUTS
The limitation on the magnetic field immunity of the iCoupler
is set by the condition in which an induced voltage in the
receiving coil of the transformer is large enough to either falsely
set or reset the decoder. The following analysis defines the
conditions under which this may occur. The 3 V operating
condition of the ADM2484E is examined because it represents
the most susceptible mode of operation.
The pulses at the transformer output have an amplitude greater
then 1 V. The decoder has a sensing threshold of about 0.5 V,
thus establishing a 0.5 V margin in which induced voltages can
be tolerated.

Figure 26. 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, still well above the 0.5 V sensing threshold of
the decoder.
Figure 27 shows the magnetic flux density values in terms of
more familiar quantities, such as maximum allowable current
flow at given distances away from the ADM2484E transformers.

MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE CURRENT (kA)
The receiver inputs have a true fail-safe feature ensuring 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 resistor 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.

where:
β is the magnetic flux density (gauss).
N is the number of turns in the receiving coil.
rn is the radius of the nth turn in the receiving coil (cm).
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 can be determined using Figure 26.
With combinations of strong magnetic field and high frequency,
any loops formed by PCB traces can induce error voltages large
enough to trigger the thresholds of succeeding circuitry. Care
should be taken in the layout of such traces to avoid this
possibility.

ADM2484E
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
ISOLATED POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
PC BOARD LAYOUT
The ADM2484E requires isolated power capable of 3.3 V at up
to approximately 75 mA (this current is dependent on the data
rate and termination resistors used) to be supplied between the
VDD2 and the GND2 pins. A transformer driver circuit with a
center tapped transformer and LDO can be used to generate the
isolated 5 V supply, as shown in Figure 28. The center tapped
transformer provides electrical isolation of the 5 V power
supply. The primary winding of the transformer 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 (VDD2) of the ADM2484E.
The ADM2484E 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).
Bypass capacitors are conveniently connected between Pin 1
and Pin 2 for VDD1 and between Pin 15 and Pin 16 for VDD2.

In applications involving high common-mode transients, ensure
that board coupling across the isolation barrier is minimized.
Furthermore, design the board layout so that any coupling that
does occur equally affects all pins on a given component side.
Failure to ensure this could cause voltage differentials between pins
exceeding the absolute maximum ratings of the device, thereby
leading to latch-up or permanent damage.

half-duplex operation, this means that both ends of the line must be
