Figure 1.
The device employs Analog Devices’ iCoupler technology to combine a 3-channel isolator, a three-state differential line driver, and a differential input receiver into a single package. The logic side of the device is powered with either a 5 V or a 3 V supply, and the bus side uses an isolated 5 V supply.
The ADM2486 driver has an active-high enable feature. The driver differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected internally to form a differential input/output port that imposes minimal loading on the bus when the driver is
or V
disabled or when V
DD1
= 0 V. Also provided is an active-
DD2
high receiver disable feature that causes the receive output to enter a high impedance state.
The device has current-limiting and thermal shutdown features to protect against output short circuits and situations where bus contention might cause excessive power dissipation. The part is fully specified over the industrial temperature range and is available in a 16-lead, wide body SOIC package.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

ESD CAUTION

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degrada­tion or loss of functionality.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

ELECTRICAL ISOLATION

In the ADM2486, 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 26). Driver input and request-to-send signals, applied to the TxD and RTS pins, respectively, and referenced to logic ground (GND appear at the transceiver section referenced to isolated ground
). Similarly, the receiver output, referenced to isolated
(GND
2
ground in the transceiver section, is coupled across the isolation barrier to appear at the RxD pin referenced to logic ground.

iCoupler Technology

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 then decoded into the binary value that was originally transmitted.

POWER-UP/POWER-DOWN THRESHOLDS

The power-up/power-down characteristics of the ADM2486 are in accordance with the supply thresholds shown in Table 11. Upon power-up, the ADM2486 output signals (A, B, RxD, and DE) reach their correct state once both supplies have exceeded their thresholds. Upon power-down, the ADM2486 output signals retain their correct state until at least one of the supplies drops below its power-down threshold. When the V

down threshold is crossed, the ADM2486 output signals reach their unpowered states within 4 µs.

THERMAL SHUTDOWN

The ADM2486 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.

RECEIVER FAIL-SAFE INPUTS

The receiver input includes a fail-safe feature that guarantees a logic high RxD output when the A and B inputs are floating or open-circuited.

MAGNETIC FIELD IMMUNITY

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 analysis below defines the conditions under which this may occur. The ADM2486’s 3 V operating condition is examined because it represents the most susceptible mode of operation.
The limitation on the iCoupler’s ac magnetic field immunity is set by the condition in which the induced error voltage in the receiving coil (the bottom coil in this case) is made sufficiently large, either to falsely set or reset the decoder. The voltage induced across the bottom coil is given by

where, if the pulses at the transformer output are greater than

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 27.

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. This is well above the 0.5 V sensing threshold of the decoder.
Figure 28 shows the magnetic flux density values in terms of more familiar quantities such as maximum allowable current flow at given distances away from the ADM2486 transformers.

At combinations of strong magnetic field and high frequency, any loops formed by printed circuit board traces could induce sufficiently large error voltages to trigger the thresholds of succeeding circuitry. Care should be taken in the layout of such traces to avoid this possibility.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

POWER_VALID INPUT

To avoid chatter on the A and B outputs caused by slow power­up and power-down transients on V features a power_valid (PV) digital input. This pin should be driven low until V
exceeds 2.0 V. When V
DD1
2.0 V, this pin should be driven high. Conversely, upon power­down, PV should be driven low before V
If the PV pin is driven with an open-drain output, the recommended value for the pull-up resistor is a 10 kΩ resistor, bypassed with a 100 pF capacitor to GND
The power_valid input can be driven, for example, by the output of a system reset circuit such as the ADM809Z, which has a threshold voltage of 2.32 V.

ISOLATED POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

The ADM2486 requires isolated power capable of 5 V at 100 mA to be supplied between the V
and GND2 pins. If no suitable
DD2
integrated power supply is available, a discrete circuit, such as the one in Figure 31, can be used. A center-tapped transformer provides electrical isolation. The primary winding 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 ADM2486’s bus-side circuitry.

To create the pair of square waves, a D-type flip-flop with complementary Q/
outputs is used. The flip-flop can be

connected so that output Q follows the clock input signal. If no local clock signal is available, a simple digital oscillator can be implemented with a hex-inverting Schmitt trigger and a resistor and capacitor. In this case, values of 3.9 kΩ and 1 nF generate a 364 kHz square wave. A pair of discrete NMOS transistors, switched by the Q/
flip-flop outputs, conduct current through
Q the center tap of the primary transformer, winding in an alternating fashion.
