ADM2587E Isolated RS-485 Transceiver
Overview
The ADM2587EBRWZ-REEL7 is an isolated RS-485/RS-422 transceiver from Analog Devices. It combines signal isolation and isolated power in one device, which helps simplify compact industrial communication designs. It is intended for robust serial links where ground potential differences and noise are a concern.
Why Choose This Part
This part integrates isolation, isolated power, and an RS-485/RS-422 transceiver into a single package, reducing BOM count and board area. That integration can simplify layout and help avoid the extra isolated DC/DC and discrete isolator components that a conventional design would require. It is a practical choice when you need a compact, noise-tolerant serial interface with galvanic isolation.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Design in the ADM2587E using Analog Devices documentation for pinout, supply connections, and bus termination guidance. For evaluation and bring-up, use an ADI evaluation board or a similar RS-485 test setup with a UART-capable MCU or USB-to-UART adapter. Pay close attention to isolation spacing, termination, fail-safe biasing, and cable shielding/grounding practices.
