Dual Isolated RS232 µModule Transceiver Integrates Isolated Power

MILPITAS, CA – January 11, 2010 – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTM2882, a 2-channel isolated RS232 µModule® transceiver that guards against large ground-to-ground differentials and common mode transients. In practical RS232 systems, ground potentials may vary widely from node to node, often exceeding the tolerable range, resulting in an interruption of communications or destruction of a transceiver. The LTM2882 breaks ground loops by isolating the logic level interface and line transceiver using internal inductive signal isolation. This allows for a much larger common mode voltage range plus superior common mode rejection >30kV/µs. A low EMI DC-DC converter … Read More → "Dual Isolated RS232 µModule Transceiver Integrates Isolated Power"
