The LTM2894 demo board includes an isolated DC-DC
converter delivering power to VCC2 at approximately
6V from the input supply VCC and/or VBUS. Isolation is
maintained by the separation of GND and GND2 where
significant operating voltages and transients can exist
without affecting the operation of the LTM2894. The logic
side is enabled upon connection of a USB cable via the
LTM2894 ON pin. All logic side signals are referenced to
the logic supply pin VLO. The LTM2894 has two power
supply inputs, VCC and VBUS. For applications requiring
more than 200mA from VCC2, VCC must be connected to
an external supply of 6V to 7V. VBUS may be connected
to USB bus power to enable data communication. If the
isolated DC-DC converter is not needed then VCC2 may
be driven by an external voltage.
Upstream USB signaling is controlled by the bidirectional
pins D1+ and D1. A 1.5k pull-up resistor is automatically
configured dependent upon the connected downstream
peripheral device. For full speed operation a 1.5k pull-up is
asserted on D1+, for low speed mode on D1. The down-
stream USB data pins, D2+ and D2, each have integrated
15k pull-down resistors.

operating principles
Quick start proceDure
Figure 1. DC2438A Radiated Emissions
Figure 2. Demo Board Setup
The demo circuit has been designed and optimized for
low RF emissions. EMI mitigation techniques used include
the following:
1. Board/ground plane size has been minimized. This
reduces the dipole antenna formed between the logic
side and isolated side ground planes.
2. Top signal routing and ground floods have been opti-
mized to reduce signal loops, minimizing differential
mode radiation.
3. The DC-DC converter uses a cascaded transformer
arrangement, where the first transformer’s isolated
side center tap is connected to logic side ground. This
effectively returns all common mode currents generated
by the switching converter edge rate and transformer
parasitic capacitance.
EMI performance is shown in Figure 1, measured using
a gigahertz transverse electromagnetic (GTEM) cell and
method detailed in IEC 61000-4-20, Testing and Mea-
surement Techniques – Emission and Immunity Testing
in T
ransverse Electromagnetic Waveguides”.
Demonstration circuit 2438A is easy to set up and evalu-
ate the performance of the LTM2894. Refer to Figure 2
for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below.
NOTE: When measuring the input or output voltage ripple
or high speed signals, care must be taken to avoid a long
ground lead on the oscilloscope probe.
1. Connect external power supply to VCC and GND if greater
than 200mA is required from VCC2 or VBUS2.
2. Connect USB cable from computer to input side (J1) of
the demo board.
3. Connect computer mouse, low speed device, or USB
memory stick, typically high speed device, to output
side (J2) of demo board.
4. Verify proper operation of mouse or memory stick.
