The USB Port has become ubiquitous in computing and instrumentation equipment. However, it was not designed to operate in the harsh industrial or sensitive medical environments where USB is now being used. These environments demand galvanic isolation, high noise immunity and rugged transient and ESD protection.
Linear Technology’s LTM2884(linear.com/product/LTM2884) Isolated USB 2.0 Transceiver with Isolated Power is fully prepared for both industrial and medical applications. It provides 2500V isolation, full USB power up to 2.5 Watts, and automatic detection of device communication speed for seamless plug and play operation.
