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.
