The converter is designed for half duplex mode where the PC communicates with ROV using 2 wires from RS232 and RS485 interface. The converter is designed for half duplex mode where the PC communicates ...

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 ...

[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 ...

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 ...

RS485 is a communication standard that should be part of the advanced hardware hacker’s arsenal; it’s not commonly encountered, but powerful exactly when you need it. It’s a physical layer interface ...

The SP335 advanced multiprotocol transceiver from Exar Corporation supports RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422 serial standards. At 5 x 5mm 2, the SP335 is less than half the size of a comparable discrete ...

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 ...

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 ...
