Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) has launched the ADM2867E series of reinforced iCoupler isolated RS-485 + integrated isolated DC/DC converters. The integrated low-EMI isolated DC/DC converter eliminates ...

This circuit demonstrates the implementation of a low power, RS-485 transceiver with selectable data rate and flexible I/O logic levels. A dual-output LDO allows for operation with either 1.8V or 3.3V ...

Intersil has introduced the ISL3159E and ISL3179E RS-485/RS-422 transceivers. These next-generation interface ICs combine 40Mbps transmission performance over the industry’s widest temperature range ( ...

Yes, you read that right: The decades-old RS-485 interface standard—the enhanced, differential, multidrop extension to the legendary, classic RS-232 interface—is alive and well. If you assume RS-485 ...

Dozens of serial data interfaces are used today. Most have been developed for specific applications. A few have become universal, such as I 2 C, CAN, LIN, SPI, Flex, MOST, and I 2 S. Then there’s ...

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 ...
