16 Mbps isolated RS-485 — the data-rate sweet spot
It hits 16 Mbps — fast enough for most industrial fieldbus and motor-drive links, but without the propagation-delay penalty of the slower 500 kbps ADM2487EBRWZ sibling. The 2500 Vrms isolation rating covers the typical industrial requirement for galvanic isolation between the controller and the bus transceiver, though designs needing 5000 Vrms (medical, utility metering) should look at the ADM2491EBRWZ.
Dual supply and CMTI — design-in checklist
The 25 kV/µs minimum common-mode transient immunity means the part holds data integrity through the fast switching edges of a motor-drive inverter — a common failure point with optocoupler-based isolators. The unidirectional channel arrangement (2 inputs on side 1, 1 input on side 2) matches the standard half-duplex RS-485 topology: one driver enable, one receiver output, one driver input.
Active lifecycle — no last-time-buy scramble
The ROHS3 compliance covers current EU and UKCA requirements without exemption claims.
