TIDA-00214, Half-Duplex, Non-Isolated RS-485 BoosterPack Reference Design

TIDA-00214, Half-Duplex, Non-Isolated RS-485 BoosterPack Reference Design. The Half-Duplex, Non-Isolated RS-485 BoosterPack enables the 20-pin or 40-pin LaunchPad with half-duplex, non-isolated RS-485 communication. The BoosterPack is designed and tested to support data rates up to 1.25 Mbps for cable lengths up to 1000 feet and a total of 32 nodes. The populated extended common-mode RS-485 transceiver can be easily removed and replaced with any half-duplex, 8-pin SOIC RS-485 transceiver. This allows the system designer to evaluate many different transceivers with varying performance targets
