The device employs Analog Devices’ iCoupler technology to
combine a 3-channel isolator, a three-state differential line
driver, and a differential input receiver into a single package.
The logic side of the device is powered with either a 5 V or a
3 V supply, and the bus side uses an isolated 5 V supply.
The ADM2486 driver has an active-high enable feature. The
driver differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs
are connected internally to form a differential input/output port
that imposes minimal loading on the bus when the driver is
disabled or when VDD1 or VDD2 = 0 V. Also provided is an active-
high receiver disable feature that causes the receive output to
enter a high impedance state.
The device has current-limiting and thermal shutdown features
to protect against output short circuits and situations where bus
contention might cause excessive power dissipation. The part is
fully specified over the industrial temperature range and is
available in a 16-lead, wide body SOIC package.

1 Common-mode transient immunity is the maximum common-mode voltage slew rate that can be sustained while maintaining specification-compliant operation.
VCM is the common-mode potential difference between the logic and bus sides. The transient magnitude is the range over which the common-mode is slewed. The
common-mode voltage slew rates apply to both rising and falling common-mode voltage edges.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degrada-
tion or loss of functionality.
