Product details
Overview
ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a 2.5 kV isolated RS-485 transceiver with integrated transformer driver, designed for industrial half-duplex communication. It operates at 500 kbps data rate, supports 3.3 V logic-side supply (VDD1), delivers isolated 3.3 V bus-side power via external transformer, and features ±15 kV ESD protection on A/B/Y/Z pins.
For engineers reviewing the ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 datasheet, ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 pinout, ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 application, or ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2500 Vrms isolation rating, true fail-safe receiver inputs (−200 mV to −30 mV threshold), thermal shutdown protection, 16-lead wide-body SOIC package, and compatibility with DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) reinforced insulation.
Technical Context
The ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 integrates iCoupler® digital isolation with a three-channel isolator, differential line driver, and differential receiver in one package. Its on-chip oscillator (400–600 kHz at 5 V, 230–430 kHz at 3.3 V) drives an external center-tapped transformer to generate isolated 3.3 V bus-side power (VDD2).
It implements active-high driver enable (DE) and active-low receiver enable (RE), supports up to 256 nodes on a multidrop bus, and uses true fail-safe receiver inputs that guarantee high RxD output during open/shorted line conditions without external bias resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 500 kbps - Guaranteed timing compliance for robust low-speed industrial control links |
| Isolation Voltage | 2500 Vrms for 1 minute - Meets UL 1577 safety requirement for reinforced barrier integrity |
| ESD Protection | ±15 kV HBM on A/B/Y/Z - Eliminates need for external TVS diodes in harsh factory environments |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | 25 kV/µs - Maintains reliable operation during fast-switching motor drive noise coupling |
| Receiver Threshold | −200 mV to −30 mV - Ensures fail-safe high output during bus idle or fault without bias resistors |
| Oscillator Frequency | 400–600 kHz (VDD1 = 5 V) - Drives external transformer for stable isolated 3.3 V bus supply generation |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at 150°C die temperature - Protects against sustained short-circuit faults on Y/Z outputs |
Pinout & Package
ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 is housed in a wide-body 16-lead SOIC package (SOIC_W) with creepage/clearance ≥7.8 mm, rated for pollution degree 2 and altitudes ≤2000 m per IEC 62368-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D1, D2 | Transformer driver outputs | Drive external center-tapped transformer primary to generate isolated 3.3 V bus supply |
| GND1, VDD1 | Logic-side ground and supply | Accept 3.3 V or 5 V input; require 0.01–0.1 µF decoupling capacitor to GND1 |

| GND2, VDD2 | Bus-side ground and supply | VDD2 = isolated 3.3 V output from transformer/LDO; GND2 must be separated from GND1 |
| Y, Z, A, B | RS-485 differential I/O | Y/Z = driver outputs; A/B = receiver inputs; all rated for −9 V to +14 V common-mode range |
| NC | No connect | Pin 10 must remain unconnected and floating per datasheet |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated RS-485 transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISO3082DWR | Lower isolation rating (2500 Vrms but no VDE 0884-17), no integrated transformer driver, requires external isolated supply | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where external DC/DC is already present | Select ISO3082DWR only if board space allows external isolated power and VDE certification is not required |
| ADM2483BRWZ-REEL7 | Same package and pinout, but rated for 16 Mbps data rate and higher IDD2 current draw (50 mA vs. 40 mA at 500 kbps) | Better suited for high-speed diagnostics or firmware updates, less optimal for low-power continuous monitoring | Choose ADM2483BRWZ-REEL7 when >500 kbps throughput is mandatory; otherwise ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 offers lower power and better noise immunity at base speed |
Compared with ISO3082DWR, ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 eliminates external isolated power design effort and adds VDE-certified reinforced insulation; compared with ADM2483BRWZ-REEL7, it trades peak speed for lower bus-side current consumption and improved electromagnetic robustness at standard industrial baud rates.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7?
The ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 is specified for reliable operation at 500 kbps in half-duplex mode. While the device can function at lower rates, its timing parameters-including propagation delay (250–700 ns), rise/fall time (200–1100 ns), and enable/disable times-are fully characterized and guaranteed only up to 500 kbps per the Rev. B datasheet. Higher speeds require the pin-compatible ADM2483 variant.
Does the ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 require external bias resistors on the RS-485 bus?
No, the ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 does not require external bias resistors. Its true fail-safe receiver has a guaranteed input threshold between −200 mV and −30 mV, ensuring the RxD output remains high during bus idle, open-circuit, or short-circuit conditions-eliminating dependency on external pull-up/pull-down networks.
Can the ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 operate with a 3.3 V supply on both logic and bus sides?
Yes, the ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 supports 3.3 V on VDD1 (logic side). However, VDD2 (bus side) is powered by an isolated 3.3 V supply generated internally via the D1/D2 transformer driver. When VDD1 = 3.3 V, a step-up transformer is required to compensate for Schottky diode and LDO drops to maintain regulated 3.3 V on VDD2.
What safety certifications apply to the ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7?
The ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 carries UL 1577 certification (2500 Vrms, 1 minute) and DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) approval for reinforced insulation with VIORM = 560 Vpeak. It is not CSA or CQC certified. Clearance and creepage distances meet IEC 62368-1 requirements for pollution degree 2.
How does thermal shutdown protect the ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 during fault conditions?
The ADM2487EBRWZ-REEL7 disables its Y/Z driver outputs when die temperature reaches 150°C due to overcurrent or bus contention. Outputs automatically re-enable once the junction cools to 140°C. This cycle prevents permanent damage during sustained short-circuits or excessive bus loading, and applies independently of VDD1/VDD2 supply states.
