Overview
The LTM2881 µModule transceiver provides a galvanically-
isolated robust RS485/RS422 interface, powered by an 
integrated, regulated DC/DC converter, complete with 
decoupling capacitors. A switchable termination resistor 
is integrated at the receiver input to provide proper termi-
nation to the RS485 bus. The LTM2881 is ideal for use in 
networks where grounds can take on different voltages. 
Isolation in the LTM2881 blocks high voltage differences 
and eliminates ground loops and is extremely tolerant of 
common mode transients between ground potentials. Error 
free operation is maintained through common mode events 
greater than 30kV/μs providing excellent noise isolation.
µModule Technology
The LTM2881 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 
coreless transformers formed in the µModule substrate. 
This system, complete with data refresh, error checking, 
safe shutdown on fail, and extremely high common mode 
immunity, provides a robust solution for bidirectional 
signal isolation. The µModule technology provides the 
means to combine the isolated signaling with our RS485 
transceiver and powerful isolated DC/DC converter in one 
small package.
DC/DC Converter
The LTM2881 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 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 reg-
ulator (LDO) to provide a regulated low noise 5V output.
The internal power solution is sufficient to support the 
transceiver interface at its maximum specified load and data

rate, and external pins are supplied for extra decoupling 
(optional) and heat dissipation. The logic supplies, V

 and

 have a 2.2µF decoupling capacitance to GND and the 
isolated supply V
CC2 
has a 2.2µF decoupling capacitance 
to GND2 within the µModule package.

 Output
The on-board DC/DC converter provides isolated 5V power 
to output V

CC2
 is capable of suppling up to 1W of 
power at 5V in the LTM2881-5 option and up to 600mW 
of power in the LTM2881-3 option. This surplus current is 
available to external applications. The amount of surplus 
current is dependent upon the implementation and current 
delivered to the RS485 driver and line load. An example 
of available surplus current is shown in the Typical Per-
formance Characteristics graph, V

the V

 output directly and with a switched power path 
that is controlled with the isolated RS485 data channel.
Driver
The driver provides full RS485 and RS422 compatibility. 
When enabled, if DI is high, Y–Z is positive. When the 
driver is disabled, both outputs are high impedance with 
less than 10µA of leakage current over the entire common 
mode range of –7V to 12V, with respect to GND2.
Driver Overvoltage and Overcurrent Protection
The driver outputs are protected from short circuits to 
any voltage within the absolute maximum range of (V
CC2
 
–15V) to (GND2 +15V) levels. The maximum V
CC2  
cur-
rent in this condition is 250mA. If the pin voltage exceeds 
about ±10V, current limit folds back to about half of the 
peak value to reduce overall power dissipation and avoid 
damaging the part. 
The device also features thermal shutdown protection 
that disables the driver and receiver output in case of 
excessive power dissipation (See Note 4 in the Electrical 
Characteristics section). 
SLO Mode
The LTM2881 features a logic-selectable reduced slew rate 
mode (SLO mode) that softens the driver output edges to
