Enhanced ESD protection allows the LTM2882 to withstand up to ±10kV (human body model) on the transceiver interface pins to isolated supplies and ±10kV through the isolation barrier to logic supplies without latch-up or damage. The driver outputs are protected from short-circuits to any voltage within the absolute maximum range of ±15V relative to GND2. The maximum short-circuit fault current is limited to no more than 70mA to maintain a safe power dissipation and prevent damaging the LTM2882. The receiver inputs are protected from common mode voltages of ±25V relative to GND2, while an open circuit condition will generate a logic high on each receiver’s respective output pin.
