Product details
Overview
LTM2885IY#PBF from Analog Devices is a galvanically isolated RS485 transceiver µModule® with 6500VRMS isolation, 20Mbps data rate, and integrated 5V/1W isolated DC/DC power supply - designed for industrial fieldbus nodes requiring high common-mode transient immunity and creepage-critical isolation in harsh environments.
For engineers reviewing the LTM2885IY#PBF datasheet, LTM2885IY#PBF pinout, LTM2885IY#PBF application, or LTM2885IY#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include certified 6500VRMS reinforced insulation, 14.6mm creepage/distance-through-insulation, selectable 20Mbps/250kbps data rate, and pin-selectable 120Ω termination for RS485 bus integrity without external components.
Technical Context
The LTM2885IY#PBF implements transformer-based galvanic isolation using embedded inductively coupled coils to transmit differential signals across the barrier, enabling robust communication under >30kV/µs common-mode transients without data corruption or jitter. Its architecture integrates both signal isolation and regulated isolated power in a single SiP.
It supports half- or full-duplex RS485 operation with TIA/EIA-485-A and PROFIBUS compliance, 1.62V–5.5V logic supply range, ±15kV HBM ESD protection on bus pins, and software-controllable Driver Enable (DE) via an auxiliary isolated digital channel with <2µs toggle latency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 6500VRMS reinforced insulation per UL1577 and CSA #5A - enables safe operation in mains-connected industrial equipment with high ground potential differences. |
| Data Rate | Selectable 20Mbps or 250kbps - supports high-speed diagnostics or low-power remote sensing without changing hardware. |
| Isolated Power Output | 5V @ 1W regulated output - powers adjacent isolated ADCs, DACs, or microcontrollers without external DC/DC converters. |
| Creepage & Clearance | 14.6mm creepage / 14.3mm clearance - meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge and IEC 60664-1 overvoltage Category III requirements. |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | 30kV/µs - maintains error-free RS485 communication during fast-switching motor drive or relay-induced noise events. |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM on bus pins - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in factory automation interfaces. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +105°C - qualified for deployment in outdoor enclosures, motor control cabinets, and railway signaling systems. |

| DI | Driver input | Logic-level input controlling RS485 transmitter; compatible with 1.62V–5.5V logic families. |
| DE | Driver enable (isolated) | Isolated control signal toggling driver state in <2µs - enables precise half-duplex timing without cross-talk. |
| A / B | RS485 differential bus terminals | High-impedance, ±15kV HBM-protected terminals connecting directly to twisted-pair field wiring. |
| TERM | 120Ω termination select | Logic-high enables internal 120Ω termination resistor - eliminates manual jumpering for bus-end node configuration. |
| VCC2 | Secondary-side isolated supply output | Regulated 5V output capable of delivering 200mA - powers isolated peripherals without external regulation. |
| GND2 | Secondary-side isolated ground | Independent ground reference for isolated side; must not be connected to GND1 except via isolation barrier. |

FAQ
What safety certifications does the LTM2885IY#PBF hold?
The LTM2885IY#PBF is certified to UL1577 (6500VRMS, 1s) and CSA Component Acceptance Notice #5A, with 100% production screening. It also meets partial discharge requirements per IEC 60747 and supports IEC 61010-1 CAT III 600V applications. These certifications apply directly to the LTM2885IY#PBF device as shipped and tested in its final BGA-42 package configuration.
Does the LTM2885IY#PBF require external components for basic RS485 operation?
No - the LTM2885IY#PBF requires zero external components for core RS485 functionality. All bypass capacitors, isolation transformers, LDOs, and termination resistors (when enabled via TERM pin) are integrated. Only VCC1, VCC2 load, and RS485 bus wiring are needed for operation - verified in DC1794 demonstration circuit design.
Can the LTM2885IY#PBF's isolated power supply drive an external ADC?
Yes - the LTM2885IY#PBF provides a regulated 5V output capable of delivering up to 200mA (1W), sufficient to power precision ADCs such as the LTC2378-20 or AD7606C-18. The LTM2885IY#PBF datasheet specifies load regulation and ripple performance under this condition, and AN125 confirms compatibility with metrology-grade converters.
How does the TERM pin function on the LTM2885IY#PBF?
The TERM pin on the LTM2885IY#PBF enables or disables an internal 120Ω termination resistor between A and B pins. When driven high, it activates termination for RS485 bus end-nodes; when low or floating, termination is disabled. This eliminates manual resistor placement and allows dynamic reconfiguration via GPIO - a feature confirmed in the LTM2885IY#PBF pin description table and DC1794 schematic.
What is the maximum common-mode transient immunity of the LTM2885IY#PBF?
The LTM2885IY#PBF guarantees 30kV/µs common-mode transient immunity, measured per IEC 61000-4-4. This value is validated across temperature and voltage conditions and ensures no data corruption or receiver malfunction during fast transients - a specification explicitly listed in the LTM2885IY#PBF product summary and isolation characteristics table.
