Bidirectional RS-485 Fan-Out Hub Reference Design
Description
The Bidirectional RS-485 Fan-Out Hub Reference Design (TIDA-01365) documents and tests an RS-485 fan-out hub design where 1:N and N:1 RS-485 signals are aggregated in and out of any bus topology. This design also features automatic direction control: for reduced pin count on microcontrollers: and a DC-to-DC converter using the 24V DC rail typically seen in industrial applications.
Features
