Choosing RS-485 Bias and Termination Resistors

Choosing RS-485 Bias and Termination Resistors

RS-485 automatic transceiver circuits are favored because they use one less I/O pin compared to circuits with control pins, making them more popular in resource-constrained master control scenarios. How does the automatic transceiver achieve automatic sending and receiving, and what factors should be considered when selecting bias and termination resistors? RS-485 Automatic Transceiver Principle The … Read more
