The Bidirectional RS-485 Fan-Out Hub Reference Design (TIDA-01365) documents and tests an RS-485 fan-out hub design where 1:N and N:1 RS-485 signals are aggregated in and out of any bus topology. This design also features automatic direction control, for reduced pin count on microcontrollers, and a DC-to-DC converter using the 24V DC rail typically seen in industrial applications.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
