EVAL-RS485FD8EBZ

The EVAL-RS485FD8EBZ is an evaluation board for full duplex RS485 transceiver with standard 8 lead SOIC footprints. It allows quick and easy evaluation of full duplex RS485 transceivers with standard 8 lead SOIC footprints. The evaluation board allows interfacing via screw terminal block to digital I/O for driver input (DI) and receiver output (RO). Bus signals A, B, Y and Z (full duplex bus) can be connected to a bus screw terminal block. Termination resistors are fitted across A and B, as well as Y and Z. These can be connected in half duplex configuration (A to Y, B to Z), in order to evaluate the RS485 driver. Footprints are provided for pull up and pull down (biasing resistors) on the receiver inputs in order to provide the option to evaluate an RS 485 receiver with this configuration.
