Design a Custom BoardHalf-duplex RS-485-compatible transceiver with one driver and one receiver featuring ±15kV ESD protection and AutoDirection control. Operates at 500kbps with reduced slew-rate limiting to minimize EMI and support up to 128 devices on the bus. Includes hot-swap capability and operates from -40°C to +85°C, ideal for industrial and utility meter applications.
An 8-pin SOIC with 1.27mm pitch is too fine for breadboards and hand-soldering without a microscope. A breakout board routes these pins to standard 0.1" headers, enabling rapid prototyping and reliable connections for op-amps, transceivers, and small power MOSFETs without requiring reflow equipment.
