Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC2872 multiprotocol transceiver with switchable integrated termination for 3.3V and 5V systems. RS485 systems require a termination resistor on the ends ...

This whitepaper helps in understanding common design problems and transceiver features developed to solve problems for designs of RS-485/RS-422 devices designs. This could simplify the designer’s task ...

Advantech’s industrial-grade isolated RS-232 to RS-422 or RS-485 converter is now available from the company’s e-store. With no change to associated computer hardware or software, the device, called ...

Linear Technology's LTC2872 is a multiprotocol 20-Mbit/s RS232 and 500-Kbit/s RS485 transceiver with switchable integrated termination for 3.3-V and 5-V systems. The LTC2872 is a multiprotocol 20-Mbit ...

Here’s a serial to Ethernet module that you won’t have to write firmware to build. It uses a Lantronix XPORT module which takes care of all the work for you, including an embedded webserver. Both ...

The RS-485 standard is a widely used differential bus with applications in many networks. Since the 1970s, semiconductor manufacturers have developed transceivers to transmit and receive RS-485 ...

Guest columnist Ian Doyle, product line manager for semiconductors at Bourns, describes how to provide suitable circuit protection for RS-485 ports. RS-485 is one of the most common interface ...

[André Sarmento] needed to connect a computer to an RS-485 bus. A simple converter can be sourced online, but the only thing he could find locally that was even close was a USB to RS-232 converter. He ...

Robustness and reliability have made RS-485 an industrial workhorse. A minimum differential signal swing of 1.5V and reliable operation over common-mode voltages ranging from -7V to +12V have ...
