ADM2486BRWZ-RL7 - Isolated RS-485 Transceiver | Analog Devices
The Analog Devices ADM2486BRWZ-RL7 is a high-speed, half-duplex, galvanically isolated RS-485/RS-422 transceiver that delivers 2500 Vrms isolation, a 20 Mbps data rate, and 25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI). It is supplied in a 16-lead SOIC-W (16-SOIC, 7.50 mm body width) package on tape-and-reel (RL7 suffix), making it suitable for high-volume surface-mount assembly in industrial communication equipment.
A digital isolator combined with an RS-485 transceiver is an integrated interface component that provides galvanic isolation between a logic-side controller and a high-voltage bus side. In a system hierarchy, the ADM2486 sits in the physical-layer interface between a UART, MCU, DSP, or PROFIBUS ASIC and the differential RS-485 bus. Its isolation barrier prevents ground loops, common-mode voltages, and transient noise from corrupting the logic-side supply and data lines, which is essential in industrial networking, factory automation, and building control.
Key features include Analog Devices iCoupler® magnetic isolation technology, PROFIBUS compliance, ANSI EIA/TIA 485-A and ISO 8482:1987 (E) compliance, 20 Mbps data rate, 3 V operation on VDD1, and 25 kV/µs CMTI. The transceiver integrates a three-channel isolator, a three-state differential line driver, and a differential input receiver in one 16-SOICW package. The RL7 tape-and-reel packaging supports automated pick-and-place assembly, while the 16-pin SOIC wide-body footprint is a common industry-standard form factor.
Technical depth is provided by the iCoupler architecture, which uses chip-scale transformers instead of optocouplers, offering better timing accuracy, longer life, and stable CMTI over temperature. The 25 kV/µs CMTI ensures that fast-rising common-mode transients generated by motor drives, inverters, and contactors do not produce bit errors on the bus. This makes the device well suited to electrically noisy industrial environments where isolation integrity is critical.
Typical applications include PROFIBUS DP fieldbus networks, PLC remote I/O, motor-drive communication, building automation, smart-grid metering, and SCADA remote terminal units. With its 20 Mbps data rate, the ADM2486 supports both high-speed fieldbus traffic and slower legacy RS-485 systems, providing design flexibility across multiple product lines.
When designing with this device, place the isolated bus-side components close to the field connector and maintain a clean isolation barrier on the PCB. Add 120 Ω termination resistors at both ends of the RS-485 bus and bias resistors if the receiver does not have integrated fail-safe biasing. The RL7 suffix denotes a 7-inch tape-and-reel package variant, so confirm reel quantity with the distributor for production planning.
