The RS-485 Narrow-Body Isolated Transceiver Evaluation Board provides a complete isolated RS-485 node using the unique 0.15"-wide IL3585-3E isolated transceiver. The board provides screw terminal and RJ45 connections, and demonstrates best layout practices.
Termination, pull-up, and pull-down resistors are easily changed to accommodate various fanouts and termination methods.
The transceiver delivers an exceptional 2.3 V differential output into a 54 Ohm load and data rates to 40 Mbps. The device is also compatible with 3.3 V input supplies, allowing interface to standard microcontrollers without additional level shifting.
Isolating RS-485 nodes reduces noise, eliminates ground loops, and improves safety. |
