Product details

Integrated isolated RS422/RS485 transceiver with on-board DC/DC

It delivers a 20 Mbps data rate over a single unidirectional channel pair (one driver, one receiver), with 2500 Vrms of galvanic isolation between the logic-side and line-side interfaces.

30 kV/µs CMTI — what it means for noisy environments

The common-mode transient immunity is rated at 30 kV/µs minimum. In practice this means the receiver output stays valid when large voltage spikes slam across the isolation barrier — the kind of event you get from a motor drive IGBT switching, a relay bank, or a nearby lightning strike on a long cable run. A part with lower CMTI (some peers spec 25 kV/µs) may glitch or lose data under the same transient. For factory-floor RS485 networks, this margin buys reliability without external transient suppression on the logic side.

The 32-BGA (15x11.25 mm) module uses a BGA footprint with 1.27 mm ball pitch — standard for a 4-layer PCB with a ground plane under the module. The package carries the isolated power transformer internally, so the board layout only needs to route the supply and data lines to the BGA pads.

Frequently asked questions

What is the data rate of LTM2881HY-5#PBF?

The data rate is 20 Mbps, making it suitable for high-speed RS422 and RS485 networks such as Profibus or similar industrial fieldbuses.

What are the alternatives to LTM2881HY-5#PBF?

A close functional peer is the ADM2582EBRWZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices, also an isolated RS485 transceiver with integrated DC/DC, but it offers a 16 Mbps data rate and 25 kV/µs CMTI versus the LTM2881's 20 Mbps and 30 kV/µs. The ADM2587EBRWZ is a lower-speed (500 kbps) variant in the same family. Neither is a pin-compatible drop-in — the LTM2881 uses a 32-BGA package while the ADM2582 uses a 20-SOIC wide-body.
