ADM2687EBRIZ Overview
An isolated RS-485 transceiver is a component that combines a differential bus transceiver with galvanic isolation, allowing data transmission between systems with different ground potentials. It typically includes a digital isolator for signal isolation and an integrated DC-to-DC converter for isolated power, eliminating the need for separate isolated power supplies. This integration simplifies PCB design and reduces component count, making it a key building block in industrial automation, building control, and instrumentation systems.
Key features include 5 kV rms isolation, ±15 kV ESD protection on the RS-485 pins, compliance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-485-A-98 and ISO 8482:1987(E), and a configurable half- or full-duplex interface. The integrated isoPower converter provides up to 500 mW of isolated power, and the device operates from a single 5V supply. The wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in harsh environments.
The ADM2687E uses Analog Devices' proprietary isoPower technology, which integrates a DC-to-DC converter using chip-scale transformers, eliminating the need for external isolated power modules. The device also features a thermal shutdown and a watchdog timer for enhanced system protection. Its high CMTI of 25 kV/µs ensures reliable operation in noisy industrial environments.
Typical applications include industrial fieldbus networks, PROFIBUS, Modbus, building automation, and HVAC systems. The device is also suitable for isolated data acquisition systems and motor control interfaces. Its integrated power and signal isolation make it a compact solution for space-constrained designs.
When designing with the ADM2687EBRIZ, ensure proper PCB layout with adequate creepage and clearance distances for the 5 kV isolation rating. Place the isolation barrier components carefully to maintain isolation integrity. Also, consider the thermal dissipation of the integrated DC-to-DC converter, especially at high data rates and loads.

Design Notes
For 5 kV rms isolation, ensure PCB creepage and clearance distances meet the required standards. Typically, a minimum of 8 mm creepage is needed for 5 kV rms. Place the isolation barrier components (transformers, capacitors) with proper spacing to maintain isolation integrity. Use a solid ground plane under the logic side and isolated ground plane under the bus side, with a slot cut between them to prevent leakage currents.
The integrated isoPower converter provides up to 500 mW of isolated power. Ensure the total load on VISO does not exceed this limit. If additional isolated power is needed, consider using an external isolated DC-DC converter. Decouple VCC and VISO with 0.1 µF and 10 µF capacitors placed close to the pins to reduce noise and ensure stable operation.
The ADM2687EBRIZ dissipates power internally due to the integrated DC-DC converter. At maximum load and data rate, the junction temperature may rise significantly. Ensure adequate thermal relief by providing copper pour on the PCB and, if necessary, a thermal pad. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, so verify that the junction temperature stays within limits under worst-case conditions.
