GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM2490E is an isolated data transceiver with ±8 kV ESD
protection and is suitable for high speed, full-duplex
communication on multipoint transmission lines. It is designed
for balanced transmission lines and 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 2-channel isolator, a 3-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 to
±8 kV using the human body model (HBM). The logic side of
the device can be powered with either a 5 V or a 3 V supply,
whereas the bus side requires an isolated 5 V supply.
The device has current-limiting and thermal shutdown features
to protect against output short circuits and situations where bus
contention could cause excessive power dissipation.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ELECTRICAL ISOLATION
TRUTH TABLES
In the ADM2490E, 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 21). The driver input signal, which is applied to the
TxD pin and referenced to logic ground (GND1), is coupled
across an isolation barrier to appear at the transceiver section
referenced to isolated ground (GND2). Similarly, the receiver
input, which is referenced to isolated ground in the transceiver
section, is coupled across the isolation barrier to appear at the
RxD pin referenced to logic ground.
The truth tables in this section use the abbreviations shown in
Table 10.
iCoupler Technology
Table 11. Transmitting
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 decoded into the binary value that was
originally transmitted.

The ADM2490E 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 that induced an error voltage in
the receiving coil (the bottom coil in this case) that was large to
either falsely set or reset the decoder. The voltage induced
across the bottom coil is given by
⎛ − dβ ⎞

⎟∑ πrn ; n = 1, 2, . . . , N

where, if the pulses at the transformer output are greater than
1.0 V in amplitude:
β = magnetic flux density (gauss).
N = number of turns in receiving coil.
rn = 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.
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 22.
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 23 shows the magnetic flux density values in terms of
more familiar quantities, such as maximum allowable current
flow, at given distances away from the ADM2490E transformers.

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 following analysis
defines the conditions under which this may occur. The 3 V
operating condition of the ADM2409E is examined because it
represents the most susceptible mode of operation.

With combinations of strong magnetic field and high frequency,
any loops formed by printed circuit board traces could 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.

ADM2490E
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The ADM2490E requires isolated power capable of 5 V at up to
approximately 75 mA (this current is dependant 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 25. 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 ADP667 linear voltage regulator provides a regulated
power supply to the bus-side circuitry (VDD2) of the
ADM2490E.

Figure 24. Recommended Printed Circuit Board Layout
In applications involving high common-mode transients, care
should be taken to ensure that board coupling across the isolation barrier is minimized. Furthermore, the board layout should
be designed such 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.
PC BOARD LAYOUT
The ADM2490E isolated RS-485 transceiver requires no
external interface circuitry for the logic interfaces. Powersupply bypassing is required at the input and output supply pins
(Figure 24). Bypass capacitors are conveniently connected
between Pins 1 and 2 for VDD1 and between Pins 15 and 16 for

The total lead length between both ends of the capacitor and
the input power-supply pin should not exceed 20 mm.
Bypassing between Pins 1 and 8 and between Pins 9 and 16
should also be considered unless the ground pair on each
package side is connected close to the package.
