DEMO CIRCUIT INPUT VOLTAGE DEVICE
DC1903A-A 3V to 3.6V LTM2889-3
DC1903A-B 4.5V to 5.5V LTM2889-5
Demo circuit 1903A is available in two configurations,
supporting both versions of the LTM2889. Table 1 details
the demo circuit configurations.
3. Board/ground plane size has been minimized. This
reduces the dipole antenna formed between the logic
side and isolated side ground planes.
4. Top signal routing and ground floods have been op-
timized to reduce signal loops, minimizing differential
mode radiation.
5. Common mode filtering is integrated into the input and
output pin headers. Filtering helps to reduce emissions
caused by conducted noise and minimizes the effects
of cabling to common mode emissions.
6. A combination of low ESL and high ESR decoupling is
used. A low ESL ceramic capacitor is located close to
the module minimizing high frequency noise conduction.
A high ESR tantalum capacitor is included to minimize
board resonances and prevent voltage spikes due to
hot plugging of the supply voltage.
EMI performance is shown in Figure 1, measured using a
GHz transverse electromagnetic (GTEM) cell and method
detailed in IEC 61000-4-20, testing and measurement
techniques – emission and immunity testing in transverse
electromagnetic waveguides.
The demo circuit has been designed and optimized for low
RF emissions. Some features of the LTM2889 are not avail-
able for evaluation on the demo circuit. The logic supply
voltage VL is tied to VCC, and the ON and RE pins are not
available on the input pin header, but may be controlled
by jumpers JP1 and JP3 respectively. EMI mitigation
techniques used include the following:
1. Four layer PCB, allowing for isolated side to logic side
bridge capacitor. The bridge capacitor is formed between
an inner layer of floating copper which overlaps the logic
side and isolated side ground planes. This structure
creates two series capacitors, each with approximately
0.008” of insulation, supporting the full dielectric with-
stand rating of 2500VRMS. The bridge capacitor provides
a low impedance return path for injected currents due
to parasitic capacitances of the LTM2889’s signal and
power isolating elements.
2. Discrete bridge capacitors (C3, C4) mounted between
GND2 and GND. The discrete capacitors provide ad-
ditional attenuation at frequencies below 400MHz.
Capacitors are safety rated type Y2, manufactured by
Murata, part number GA342QR7GF471KW01L, rated
for 250VRMS.
