About this manual

This document provides setup and operating instructions for the DC1789A demonstration circuit, which features the LT M®2884 isolated USB transceiver. The circuit includes an isolated DC/DC converter delivering 5V to VCC2 and supports USB signaling across an isolation barrier. It operates from VCC and/or VBUS supplies, with configurable power modes and EMI-optimized layout. The manual includes quick start procedures, PCB layout, parts list, and safety warnings for engineering evaluation use only.

The circuit supports low-speed (1.5 Mbps) and full-speed (12 Mbps) USB data rates, with integrated pull-up and pull-down resistors. It includes a suspend power feature to reduce current during idle USB bus conditions. EMI performance is optimized with minimized ground plane size and signal loop reduction. The document also includes schematic diagrams, component details, and important safety and compliance disclaimers.
