An Auto-Direction feature reduces the number of optical isolators needed.
The XBRS4, a half-duplex RS485/RS422 compatible transceiver introduced by Tech9 (Mounds View, MN) is optimized for applications needing up to 2,500 volt isolation. Features include:
- An Auto-Direction feature that reduces the number of optical isolators needed.
- No need for the normal transmit enable, which can be problematic in RS485 networks.
- Enhanced ESD protection.
- Slew-rate limiting.
- Full-speed operation.
- A compact plug-able module that uses the Digi International XBee footprint.
- A designed around the MAX13412E that uses a single 3.3 V power supply on the logic side and accepts a 6 to 28 V input supply range on the RS485 side.
- A fail-safe module that operates in temperatures from -400 to 850C.
- Operation at 1/8 unit load allows up to 256 transceivers on the bus.
- A full speed version that supports data rates up to 15 Mbps with up to 500 Kbps data ratio.
