OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The LTM2892-S requires two to four external power supplies for operation, one for power and one for the signal
interface, on each side of the isolation barrier. The logic
supplies may be tied to the input supplies. Isolation is
maintained by the separation of GND1 and GND2 where
significant operating voltages and transients can exist
without affecting the operation of the LTM2892-S. The ON1
and/or ON2 pins enable or shut down the LTM2892-S, both
must be driven to their respective logic supply voltage for
proper operation. All SPI or Digital signals are referenced
to the logic supply pins V
or VL2.
L1
SPI signaling is typically configured by defining the digital
pins as follows:
No special precautions are required for low RF emissions.
EMI performance is shown in Figure 2, measured using
a gigahertz transverse electromagnetic (GTEM) cell and
method detailed in IEC 61000-4-20, Testing and Measurement Techniques – Emission and Immunity Testing in
Transverse Electromagnetic Waveguides.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
DEMO MANUAL DC1957A
Demonstration circuit 1957A is easy to set up and evaluate the performance of the LTM2892-S. Refer to Figure 3
for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below.
NOTE: When measuring the input or output voltage ripple
or high speed signals, care must be taken to avoid a long
ground lead on the oscilloscope probe.
1. Install jumpers as shown in Figure 3 and the schematic
diagram.
2. With power off, connect the input power supplies to
- GND1 and V
V
CC1
3. Turn on the power at the input.
NOTE: Make sure that the input voltage does not ex-
ceed6V.
4. Configure jumpers or connect signals to turrets as appropriate. If a signal is connected to an input channel
turret the associated channel jumper must be removed
for proper operation.
- GND2 as shown.
