RADIATED EMISSIONS
The
ADM2682E/ADM2687E
evaluation board is designed to
reduce emissions generated by the high frequency switching
elements used by the
isoPower®
technology to transfer power
through its transformer. The layout of the evaluation board
was generated using the guidelines provided in the
AN-0971
Application Note,
Recommendations for Control of Radiated
Emissions with

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
TEST SETUP
The
ADM2682E/ADM2687E
evaluation board is shown
in Figure 2 with the default jumper settings on LK1 through
LK4 (driver and receiver enabled), power connection on J1,
input signal connection on J2, and probes attached to RXD,
TXD, Y, and Z for a loopback test (LK5 and LK6 are closed
to connect A to Y and B to Z).
UG-317
JUMPER SETTINGS
The inputs to the
ADM2682E/ADM2687E
can be configured
using the jumpers on the evaluation board (see Table 1). Note
that multiple jumper blocks should not be placed on LK1 to
LK4 because the input sources may be shorted together. For
each link, a single jumper block can be moved from one posi-
tion to another, as specified in Table 1.

TERMINATION AND PULL-UP/PULL-DOWN
RESISTORS
The evaluation board includes the RT and RT1 footprints for
fitting termination resistors between the A and B receiver inputs
and the Y and Z driver outputs. By default, the board is fitted
with a 120 Ω resistor, RT, between A and B. This resistor should
be removed if the board is connected to a bus that is already
terminated at both ends. For more information about proper
termination, see the
AN-960 Application Note,
RS-485/RS-422
Circuit Implementation Guide.
Although the
ADM2682E/ADM2687E
have a built-in receiver
fail-safe for the bus idle condition, there are footprints on the
evaluation board for fitting the R3 and R1 pull-up resistors to
VISO on A and Y, as well as the R4 and R2 pull-down resistors
to GND on B and Z. These resistors can be fitted if the user is
connecting to other parts that require such external biasing resis-
tors on the bus. The exact value required for a 200 mV minimum
differential voltage in the bus idle condition depends on the supply
voltage (for example, 960 Ω for 3.3 V and 1440 Ω for 5 V).
For more information about the bus idle fail-safe, see the
AN-960
Application Note,
RS-485/RS-422 Circuit Implementation Guide.

DECOUPLING AND RESERVOIR CAPACITORS
The evaluation board uses the following decoupling and
reservoir capacitors:
•
On the logic side of the board, the C1 and C2 capacitors
should be 10 μF and 100 nF ceramic capacitors, respectively,
and the C4 and C6 capacitors should be 10 nF and 100 nF
ceramic capacitors, respectively.
On the bus side of the board, the C5 and C7 capacitors
should be 10 nF and 100 nF, respectively, and the C8 and
C9 capacitors should be 100 nF and 10 μF, respectively.
•
BOARD INTERNAL LAYER THICKNESS
The
ADM2682E/ADM2687E
evaluation board consists of
six layers with four internal layers. The spacing between the
internal board layers was chosen as specified in Table 2 to
maximize the stitching capacitance on the board.
