Detailed Design Procedure

Power isolation is accomplished using the push-pull transformer driver SN6501, a low-cost LDO and TLV70733.

Signal isolation uses the quadruple digital isolator ISO7741. Notice that both enable inputs, EN1 and EN2, are pulled-up via 4.7-kΩ resistors to limit input currents during transient events.

While the transient protection is similar to the one in Figure 28 (left circuit), an additional high-voltage capacitor diverts transient energy from the floating RS-485 common further towards protective earth (PE) ground. This diversion is necessary as noise transients on the bus are usually referred to Earth potential.

RVH refers to a high-voltage resistor, and in some applications even a varistor. This resistance is applied to prevent charging of the floating ground to dangerous potentials during normal operation.

Occasionally varistors are used instead of resistors in order to rapidly discharge CHV, if expected that fast transients might charge CHV to high-potentials.

Note that the PE island represents a copper island on the PCB for the provision of a short, thick Earth wire connecting this island to PE ground at the entrance of the power supply unit (PSU).

In equipment designs using a chassis, the PE connection is usually provided through the chassis itself. Typically the PE conductor is tied to the chassis at one end while the high-voltage components, CHV and RHV, are connecting to the chassis at the other end.
