TIDA-00540 Reference Design

Texas Instruments

RS-485 / RS-232 Multiprotocol Transceiver Reference Design

Description

This design (TIDA-00540) allows for communication over RS-485 or RS-232 data buses without requiring separate wiring for each.  Data lines are shared between two different transceiver types: and a single control signal is used to determine which protocol is to be used.

Features
  • Same interconnects can be used for both RS-485 and RS-232 communicationEasy control of active protocolOn-board TVS diodes for protection against overvoltage transientsCompact size and minimum number of componentsThis circuit is designed and tested: and its performance is documented in a test report.
