15 ISOCOM power_in Isolated ground; the difference between GND and ISOCOM can be up to 50V, with an absolute maximum of ±80V on ISOCOM.
16 T2OUT output RS-232 transmitter output; can be driven up to ±12V relative to ISOCOM when powered off or shut down.
17 T1OUT output RS-232 transmitter output; can be driven up to ±12V relative to ISOCOM when powered off or shut down.
18 R2IN input RS-232 receiver input with a ±25V input-voltage range relative to ISOCOM.
19 R1IN input RS-232 receiver input with a ±25V input-voltage range relative to ISOCOM.
20 ISOVCC power_out Internally generated isolated power-supply voltage referenced to ISOCOM; bypass ISOVCC to ISOCOM with a 2.2µF capacitor.

22 N.C. unconnected No connection; not internally connected.
23 N.C. unconnected No connection; not internally connected.
24 SHDN input Shutdown control; drive low to enter low-power shutdown mode, and drive high or connect to VCC for normal operation.
25 FAULT output Overvoltage indicator; active low, open drain, signals excessive isolated-side voltage.
26 GND power_in Ground, the logic-side reference for the device.
27 C2- passive Negative terminal of the power isolation capacitor; connect a 100V capacitor from C2- to C2+.
