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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Multiprotocol interface ICs can be used to connect a UART to an RS-485 bus architecture called point-to-point full-duplex (PTP-FD). The PTP connection usually ...

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 ...

Texas Instruments has releases an RS-485 transceiver that can be pin-programmed to suit networks with different bus voltage, logic voltage, network length and throughput. Called THVD1424, it includes ...

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 ...
