USB µModule Transceiver Protects Systems with 7500VRMS of Galvanic Isolation

MILPITAS, CA – November 22, 2016 – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTM2894, a USB µModule® (micromodule) reinforced isolator that guards against ground-to-ground voltage differentials and large common mode transients. A rugged interface and internal isolation makes the LTM2894 ideal for systems implementing USB in harsh industrial or medical environments where protection from high voltages is required. The LTM2894 separates grounds by isolating a pair of USB signal transceivers using internal signal isolation, providing 7500VRMS isolation plus superior common mode transient rejection of greater than 50kV/µs. Able to withstand up to 1000VRMS continuously, the LTM2894 also provides 17.4mm of creepage, a separation … Read More → "USB µModule Transceiver Protects Systems with 7500VRMS of Galvanic Isolation"
