Datasheet

Two new low power electrically isolated data communication devices, NM485D6S5MC and NMTTLD6S5MC have been announced by Murata Power Solutions, to provide RS485 or TTL interfaces with isolated power. No external components are needed; a single 5V supply allows function on either side of the isolation boundary. With the combination of isolated data communication and power in a single module, the devices save space and design time.

The NM485D6S5MC is designed for single channel, full duplex, data communication or multipoint bus transmission. The device combines a tri-state differential line driver and a differential input line receiver. The driver and receiver have active high and active low enables respectively that can be connected to function as direction control.

It is designed for industrial applications with an operating temperature range from -40 to 85°C and a tested isolation of 3kVac RMS in a surface-mount package measuring only 18.16x14.5mm. Single channel full duplex isolation is provided for the NM485; the device has UL60950 approval pending for reinforced insulation to 250VAC.

Providing quad channel digital isolation for NMTTL, the NMTTLD6S5MC has two transmit and two receive lines for data rates up to 25Mbps. It is also designed for industrial applications and features an operating temperature range from -40 to 95°C and a tested isolation of 1500Vac RMS in a surface-mount package measuring only 16.9x14.5mm. The device has UL60950 approval pending for basic insulation to 250VAC.

Both devices provide a regulated 5V output for digital circuitry, as well as unregulated 6V isolated outputs for powering analogue circuitry, A/D or OP-AMPs. Similarly, both devices have ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1, 2xMOOPs (NMTTL has just one) and 1xMOPPs safety recognition pending at 250VAC, offering ease of system approval for medical systems safety approval purposes. The devices’ very low coupling capacitance figure of 5pF typical reduces system EMI problems.

With the combination of isolated data communication and power in a single module, the new products save space and design time. Compared to the competition, the devices offer higher levels of isolated output power with the added benefit of a ±6V user accessible output. Samples of both devices are available.
