GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM2461E/ADM2463E are 500 kbps, 5.7 kV rms, signal
isolated RS-485 transceivers that pass radiated emissions testing to
the EN55032 Class B standard with margin on a 2-layer printed
circuit board (PCB). The ADM2461E/ADM2463E isolation
barrier provides robust immunity to noise and system level EMC
events. The devices are protected against ≥±12 kV contact and ≥
±15 kV air IEC61000-4-2 electrostatic discharge (ESD) events
on the RS-485 A, B, Y, and Z pins. The devices feature cable invert
pins to allow quick correction of the reversed cable connection
on the A, B, Y, and Z bus pins while maintaining full receiver
fail-safe performance.
Rev. 0
These devices are optimized for low speed over long cable runs
and have a maximum data rate of 500 kbps. The high differential
output voltage makes these devices suitable for Profibus nodes
when powered with 5 V on the VDD2 supply. The VDD1 primary
supply and VDD2 isolated supply both support a wide range of
voltages (1.7 V to 5.5 V and 3 V to 5.5 V, respectively). Halfduplex and full duplex device options are available in the industry
standard 16-lead, wide-body, standard SOIC_W package with
>8.0 mm creepage and clearance.

THEORY OF OPERATION
ROBUST LOW POWER DIGITAL ISOLATOR
IEC61000-4-2 ESD PROTECTION
The ADM2461E/ADM2463E feature a low power, digital isolator
block to galvanically isolate the primary and secondary sides of the
device. The use of coplanar transformer coils with an on or off
keying modulation scheme allows high data throughput across
the isolation barrier while minimizing any radiated emissions.
This architecture provides a robust digital isolator with immunity
to common-mode transients >250 kV/μs across the full
temperature and supply range of the device. The digital isolator
circuitry features a flexible VDD1 power supply with an input
voltage range of 1.7 V to 5.5 V.
ESD is the sudden transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies
at different potentials, which is either caused by near contact or
induced by an electric field. ESD has the characteristics of a high
current in a short time period. The primary purpose of the
IEC61000-4-2 test is to determine system immunity to external
ESD events outside the system during operation. IEC61000-4-2
describes testing using two coupling methods: contact discharge
and air discharge. Contact discharge implies a direct contact
between the discharge gun and the equipment under test (EUT).
During air discharge testing, the charged electrode of the discharge
gun is moved toward the EUT until a discharge occurs as an arc
across the air gap. The discharge gun does not make direct contact
with the EUT during air discharge testing. Factors including
humidity, temperature, barometric pressure, distance, and rate
of approach to the EUT affect the results and repeatability of
the air discharge test. Air discharge testing is a more accurate
representation of an actual ESD event than the contact discharge
method but is not as repeatable. Therefore, contact discharge is
the preferred test method. During testing, the EUT data port is
subjected to at least 10 positive and 10 negative single discharges.
Test voltage selection depends on the system end environment.
Figure 40 shows the 8 kV contact discharge current waveform,
as described in the IEC61000-4-2 specification. Waveform
parameters include rise times of 250 kV/μs
Common-Mode Transients

HIGH DRIVER DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The ADM2461E/ADM2463E feature a proprietary transmitter
architecture with a low driver output impedance that results in
an increased differential output voltage. This architecture is useful
when operating the device at lower data rates over long cable
runs where the dc resistance of the transmission line dominates
the signal attenuation. In these applications, the increased
differential voltage extends the reach of the device to longer
cable lengths. When operated as a 5 V transceiver (VDD2 > 4.5 V),
the ADM2461E/ADM2463E meet or exceed the Profibus
requirement of a minimum 2.1 V differential output voltage.

Figure 41 shows the 8 kV contact discharge current waveform
from the IEC61000-4-2 standard compared to the HBM ESD 8 kV
waveform. Figure 41 shows that the two standards specify a
different waveform shape and peak current (IPEAK). The IPEAK
associated with an IEC61000-4-2 8 kV pulse is 30 A, whereas
the corresponding IPEAK for HBM ESD is more than five times
less at 5.33 A. The other key difference between the two standards
is the rise time of the initial voltage spike. The IEC61000-4-2
ESD waveform has a faster rise time of 1 ns compared to the
10 ns associated with the HBM ESD waveform. The amount of
power associated with an IEC ESD waveform is greater than that of
an HBM ESD waveform. The HBM ESD standard requires the
EUT to be subjected to at least three positive and three negative
discharge tests, whereas the IEC ESD standard requires the EUT to
be subjected to at least 10 positive and 10 negative discharge tests.

The ADM2461E/ADM2463E are rated to ≥±12 kV contact ESD
protection and ≥±15 kV air ESD protection between the RS-485
bus pins (A, B, Y, and Z) and the GND2 pin according to the
IEC61000-4-2 standard. The isolation barrier provides ±8kV
contact protection between the bus pins and the GND1 pin. These

The ADM2461E/ADM2463E guarantee a logic high receiver
output when the receiver inputs are shorted, open, or connected to
a terminated transmission line with all drivers disabled. To achieve
a fail-safe logic high output when the receiver inversion feature
is disabled (INV or INVR = 0 V), the receiver input threshold is
set internally between −30 mV and −200 mV. If A – B ≥ −30 mV,
the RxD output is logic high. If A – B ≤ −200 mV, the RxD
output is logic low. To preserve the fail-safe feature when the
receiver inversion feature is enabled (INV or INVR = VDD1), the
inverted receiver input threshold is set internally between 30 mV
and 200 mV. In the case of a terminated bus with all transmitters
disabled, the termination resistor pulls the receiver differential
input voltage to 0 V, which results in a logic high RxD output
with a 30 mV minimum noise margin. This feature eliminates
the need for the external biasing components that are usually
required to implement the fail-safe feature.

legacy devices that lack fail-safe support and in applications
where additional noise margin is desired. See the AN-960

DRIVER AND RECEIVER CABLE INVERSION
HOT SWAP INPUTS
The ADM2461E/ADM2463E feature cable inversion
functionality to correct for errors during installation. This
adjustment can be implemented in the software on the controller
driving the RS-485 transceiver to avoid installation costs to fix
wiring errors. The ADM2463E full duplex transceiver features a
receiver cable invert pin, INVR, that can be used to correct
receiver functionality in cases where connections to the A and
B pins are made in reverse. The ADM2461E half-duplex
transceiver features a single cable invert logic input pin, INV, that
inverts the driver and receiver to correct for reversed connections
to the A and B pins. When the receiver is inverted, the device
maintains a Logic 1 receiver output with a 30 mV noise margin
when inputs are shorted together or open-circuit. Figure 42
shows the receiver output in inverted and noninverted cases.
When a circuit board is inserted into a powered (or hot)
backplane, parasitic coupling from supply and ground rails to
digital inputs can occur. The ADM2461E/ADM2463E contain
circuitry to ensure that the RS-485 driver outputs remain in a
high impedance state during power-up, and then default to the
correct states. For example, when VDD1 and VDD2 power up at the
same time and the RE pin is pulled low with the DE and TxD pins
pulled high, the A and B outputs remain in high impedance until
the outputs settle at an expected default high for the A pin and
expected default low for the B pin.

The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is 12 kΩ (1 unit

The ADM2461E/ADM2463E transceivers have a 1/6 unit

allows up to 192 transceivers to be connected in parallel on one

The ADM2461E/ADM2463E have two methods to prevent
excessive output current and power dissipation caused either by
faults or by bus contention. Current-limit protection on the output
stage provides immediate protection against short circuits over the
entire common-mode voltage range. In addition, a thermal
shutdown circuit forces the driver outputs into a high impedance
state if the die temperature rises excessively. This circuitry disables
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.

MAXIMUM DATA RATE vs. AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE
Under a large current load, power dissipation within the
transceiver can limit the maximum ambient temperature
achievable while retaining a silicon junction temperature
below 150°C. This internal power dissipation is related to
application conditions including supply voltage configuration,
switching frequency, effective load on the RS-485 bus, and the
amount of time the transceiver is in transmit mode. Thermal
performance also depends on the PCB design and thermal
characteristics of a system.
For high temperature applications above 85°C with a fully
loaded RS-485 bus (equivalent to 54 Ω bus resistance) operating
with a VDD2 supply of 5 V ± 10%, limiting the transmitter data
rate to 300 kbps is recommended. The thermal resistance (θJA)
of the package can be used in conjunction with the typical
performance curves for the VDD2 supply current to calculate the
maximum data rate for a given ambient temperature.
ISOLATED PROFIBUS SOLUTION
The ADM2461E features a transceiver that meets the
requirements of an isolated Profibus node. When operating the
ADM2461E as a Profibus transceiver, ensure that the VDD2
power supply is a minimum of 4.5 V. The ADM2461E is
acceptable for use in Profibus applications as a result of the
following characteristics:
The output driver meets or exceeds the Profibus differential
output requirements. To ensure that the transmitter
differential output does not exceed 7 V p-p over all
conditions, place 10 Ω resistors in series with the A and
B transmitter outputs.
Low bus pin capacitance of 28 pF.
Class I (no loss of data) immunity to IEC61000-4-4 electrical
fast transients (EFTs) up to ±1 kV with respect to the GND2
pin can be achieved using a Profibus shielded cable. IEC
61000-4-4 Class I up to ±3 kV can be achieved with the
addition of a 470 pF capacitor connected between the
GND1 pin and the RxD output pin.
In applications where additional levels of protection against
IEC61000-4-5 EFT or IEC61000-4-4 surge events are required,
external protection circuits can be added to enhance the EMC
robustness of the device. See Figure 43 for a recommended EMC
protection circuit that uses a series of SM712 transient voltage
suppressors (TVS) and 10 Ω pulse proof resistors to achieve
Level 2 IEC61000-4-5 surge protection and an excess of Level 4
IEC61000-4-2 ESD and IEC61000-4-4 EFT protection. Table 16

INSULATION LIFETIME
All insulation structures eventually break down when subjected
to voltage stress over a sufficiently long period of time. The rate
of insulation degradation depends on the characteristics of the
voltage waveform applied across the insulation and on the
materials and material interfaces.
The two types of insulation degradation of primary interest are
breakdown along surfaces exposed to the air and insulation wear
out. Surface breakdown is the phenomenon of surface tracking
and is the primary determinant of surface creepage requirements
in system level standards. Insulation wear out is the phenomenon
where charge injection or displacement currents inside the
insulation material cause long-term insulation degradation.

ADM2461E/ADM2463E
Data Sheet
Calculation and Use of Parameters Example
Surface tracking is addressed in electrical safety standards by
setting a minimum surface creepage based on the working voltage,
the environmental conditions, and the properties of the insulation
material. Safety agencies perform characterization testing on the
surface insulation of components to allow the components to be
categorized in different material groups. Lower material group
ratings are more resistant to surface tracking and can provide
adequate lifetime with smaller creepage. The minimum creepage
for a given working voltage and material group is in each system
level standard and is based on the total rms voltage across the
isolation, pollution degree, and material group. See Table 5 for
the material group and creepage information for the ADM2461E/
ADM2463E isolated RS-485 transceivers.
The following example frequently arises in power conversion
applications. Assume that the line voltage on one side of the
isolation barrier is 240 V ac rms and that a 400 V dc bus voltage
is present on the other side of the isolation barrier. The isolator
material is polyimide. To establish the critical voltages in
determining the creepage, clearance, and lifetime of a device,
see Figure 44, Equation 3, and Equation 4, where VPEAK is the
peak voltage.
The lifetime of insulation caused by wear out is determined by
the insulation thickness, the material properties, and the voltage
stress applied across the insulation. Ensure that the product
lifetime is adequate at the application working voltage. The
working voltage supported by an isolator for wear out may not be
the same as the working voltage supported for tracking. The
working voltage applicable to tracking is specified in most
standards.
Testing and modeling show that the primary driver of long-term
degradation is displacement current in the polyimide insulation,
which causes incremental damage. The stress on the insulation
can be divided into broad categories such as dc stress and ac
component, time varying voltage stress. DC stress causes little
wear out because there is no displacement current. AC component,
time varying voltage stress causes wear out.
The ratings in certification documents are typically based on 60 Hz
sinusoidal stress to reflect isolation from the line voltage. However,
many practical applications have combinations of 60 Hz ac and
dc across the barrier, as shown in Equation 1. Because only the
ac portion of the stress causes wear out, the equation can be
rearranged to solve for the ac rms voltage, as shown in Equation 2.
For insulation wear out with the polyimide materials used in these
products, the ac rms voltage determines the product lifetime.

Figure 44. Critical Voltage Example
For this example, the VRMS from Equation 1 is calculated as follows:
VRMS 240 2 400 2 = 466 V
(3)
This VRMS value is the working voltage used together with the
material group and pollution degree when looking up the creepage
required by a system standard.
To determine if the lifetime is adequate, obtain VAC RMS. To
calculate VAC RMS for this example, use Equation 2 as follows:
VAC RMS 466 2 400 2 = 240 V rms
(4)
In this case, VAC RMS is the line voltage of 240 V rms. This
calculation is more relevant when the waveform is not sinusoidal.
The VAC RMS value is compared to the limits for the working ac
voltage in Table 10 for the expected lifetime (which is less than
a 60 Hz sine wave) and is well within the limit for a 50-year
service life.
Note that the dc working voltage limit is set by the creepage of
the package, as specified in IEC60664-1. This dc value can
differ for specific system level standards.
