DESCRIPTION
Dual Isolated RS232
µModule Transceiver + Power
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 of isolation between the 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 control-
ling 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.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Overview
The LTM2882 µModule transceiver provides a galvanically-
isolated robust RS232 interface, powered by an integrated,
regulated DC/DC converter, complete with decoupling
capacitors. The LTM2882 is ideal for use in networks
where grounds can take on different voltages. Isolation in
the LTM2882 blocks high voltage differences, eliminates
ground loops and is extremely tolerant of common mode
transients between grounds. Error-free operation is main-
tained through common mode events greater than 30kV/
μs providing excellent noise isolation.
µModule Technology
The LTM2882 utilizes isolator µModule technology to
translate signals and power across an isolation barrier.
Signals on either side of the barrier are encoded into pulses
and translated across the isolation boundary using core-
less transformers formed in the µModule substrate. This
system, complete with data refresh, error checking, safe
shutdown on fail, and extremely high common mode im-
munity, provides a robust solution for bidirectional signal
isolation. The µModule technology provides the means
to combine the isolated signaling with our advanced dual
RS232 transceiver and powerful isolated DC/DC converter
in one small package.
DC/DC Converter
The LTM2882 contains a fully integrated isolated DC/DC
converter, including the transformer, so that no external
components are necessary. The logic side contains a full-
bridge driver, running at about 2MHz, and is AC-coupled
to a single transformer primary. A series DC blocking
capacitor prevents transformer saturation due to driver
duty cycle imbalance. The transformer scales the primary
voltage, and is rectified by a full-wave voltage doubler.
This topology eliminates transformer saturation caused
by secondary imbalances.
The DC/DC converter is connected to a low dropout regulator
(LDO) to provide a regulated low noise 5V output, VCC2.
An integrated boost converter generates a 7V VDD supply
and a charge pumped –6.3V VEE supply. VDD and VEE power
the output stage of the RS232 drivers and are regulated
to levels that guarantee greater than ±5V output swing.
The internal power solution is sufficient to support the
transceiver interface at its maximum specified load and
data rate, and has the capacity to provide additional 5V
power on the isolated side VCC2 and GND2 pins. VCC and
VCC2 are each bypassed internally with 2.2µF ceramic
capacitors.
VL Logic Supply
A separate logic supply pin VL allows the LTM2882 to in-
terface with any logic signal from 1.62V to 5.5V as shown
in Figure 5. Simply connect the desired logic supply to VL.
There is no interdependency between VCC and VL; they
may simultaneously operate at any voltage within their
specified operating ranges and sequence in any order. VL
is bypassed internally by a 2.2µF capacitor.
Hot Plugging Safely
Caution must be exercised in applications where power is
plugged into the LTM2882’s power supplies, VCC or VL,
due to the integrated ceramic decoupling capacitors. The
parasitic cable inductance along with the high Q char-
acteristics of ceramic capacitors can cause substantial
ringing which could exceed the maximum voltage ratings
and damage the LTM2882. Refer to Analog Devices Ap-
plication Note 88, entitled “Ceramic Input Capacitors Can
Cause Overvoltage Transients” for a detailed discussion
and mitigation of this phenomenon.

Channel Timing Uncertainty
Multiple channels are supported across the isolation bound-
ary by encoding and decoding of the inputs and outputs.
The technique used assigns T1IN/R1IN the highest priority
such that there is no jitter on the associated output chan-
nels T1OUT/R1OUT, only delay. This preemptive scheme
will produce a certain amount of uncertainty on T2IN/
R2IN to T2OUT/R2OUT and DIN to DOUT. The resulting
pulse width uncertainty on these low priority channels is
typically ±6ns, but may vary up to about 40ns.
Half-Duplex Operation
The DE pin serves as a low-latency driver enable for half-
duplex operation. The DE pin can be easily driven from
the logic side by using the uncommitted auxiliary digital
channel, DIN to DOUT. Each driver is enabled and disabled
in less than 2µs, while each receiver remains continuously
active. This mode of operation is illustrated in Figure 6.

Driver Overvoltage and Overcurrent Protection
The driver outputs are protected from short-circuits to
any voltage within the absolute maximum range of ±15V
relative to GND2. The maximum current is limited to no
more than 70mA to maintain a safe power dissipation and
prevent damaging the LTM2882.
Receiver Overvoltage and Open Circuit
The receiver inputs are protected from common mode
voltages of ±25V relative to GND2.
Each receiver input has a nominal input impedance of 5kΩ
relative to GND2. An open circuit condition will generate a
logic high on each receiver’s respective output pin.
RF, Magnetic Field Immunity
The LTM2882 has been independently evaluated and has
successfully passed the RF and magnetic field immunity
testing requirements per European Standard EN 55024,
in accordance with the following test standards:

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PCB Layout
The high integration of the LTM2882 makes PCB layout
very simple. However, to optimize its electrical isolation
characteristics, EMI, and thermal performance, some
layout considerations are necessary.
• Under heavily loaded conditions VCC and GND current
can exceed 300mA. Sufficient copper must be used
on the PCB to insure resistive losses do not cause the
supply voltage to drop below the minimum allowed
level. Similarly, the VCC2 and GND2 conductors must
be sized to support any external load current. These
heavy copper traces will also help to reduce thermal
stress and improve the thermal conductivity.
• Input and Output decoupling is not required, since these
components are integrated within the package. An ad-
ditional bulk capacitor with a value of 6.8µF to 22µF is
recommended. The high ESR of this capacitor reduces
board resonances and minimizes voltage spikes caused
by hot plugging of the supply voltage. For EMI sensitive
applications, an additional low ESL ceramic capacitor of
1µF to 4.7µF, placed as close to the power and ground
terminals as possible, is recommended. Alternatively, a
number of smaller value parallel capacitors may be used
to reduce ESL and achieve the same net capacitance.
• Do not place copper on the PCB between the inner col-
umns of pads. This area must remain open to withstand
the rated isolation voltage.
• The use of solid ground planes for GND and GND2
is recommended for non-EMI critical applications to
optimize signal fidelity, thermal performance, and to
minimize RF emissions due to uncoupled PCB trace
conduction. The drawback of using ground planes,
where EMI is of concern, is the creation of a dipole
antenna structure which can radiate differential voltages
formed between GND and GND2. If ground planes are
used it is recommended to minimize their area, and
use contiguous planes as any openings or splits can
exacerbate RF emissions.
• For large ground planes a small capacitance (≤ 330pF)
from GND to GND2, either discrete or embedded within
the substrate, provides a low impedance current return
path for the module parasitic capacitance, minimizing
any high frequency differential voltages and substantially
reducing radiated emissions. Discrete capacitance will
not be as effective due to parasitic ESL. In addition, volt-
age rating, leakage, and clearance must be considered
for component selection. Embedding the capacitance
within the PCB substrate provides a near ideal capacitor
and eliminates component selection issues; however,
the PCB must be 4 layers. Care must be exercised in
applying either technique to insure the voltage rating
of the barrier is not compromised.
The PCB layout in Figures 7a to 7e show the low EMI
demo board for the LTM2882. The demo board uses a
combination of EMI mitigation techniques, including both
embedded PCB bridge capacitance and discrete GND to
GND2 capacitors. Tw o safety rated type Y2 capacitors
are used in series, manufactured by Murata, part number
GA342QR7GF471KW01L. The embedded capacitor ef-
fectively suppresses emissions above 400MHz, whereas
the discrete capacitors are more effective below 400MHz.
EMI performance is shown in Figure 8, measured using
a Gigahertz Transverse Electromagnetic (GTEM) cell and
method detailed in IEC 61000-4-20, “Testing and Mea-
surement Techniques – Emission and Immunity Testing
in Transverse Electromagnetic Waveguides.”
