RS-485 waveform.svg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. IC, RS-485 TRANSCEIVER, 3.6V, RS-485. TIA-485-A, also known as ANSI/TIA/EIA-485, TIA/EIA-485, EIA-485 or RS-485, is a standard defining the electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers for use in balanced digital multipoint systems.

RS-485

The standard is published by the Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Alliance (TIA/EIA). Digital communications networks implementing the EIA-485 standard can be used effectively over long distances and in electrically noisy environments. Multiple receivers may be connected to such a network in a linear, multi-drop configuration. These characteristics make such networks useful in industrial environments and similar applications. The EIA once labeled all its standards with the prefix "RS" (Recommended Standard), but the EIA-TIA officially replaced "RS" with "EIA/TIA" to help identify the origin of its standards.[1] The EIA has officially disbanded and the standard is now maintained by the TIA.

iPhone 4 GUI PSD (Retina Display)

It took a good deal longer to complete given the sheer size and level of detail the retina display has. It wasn’t a simple scale-up from the last file. It was clear as we created it that Apple has spent a lot of time considering how each element should be translated to such a dense resolution. What were single pixel elements are now two or three pixels thick and effects are exaggerated to become visible.

For anyone designing for the retina display (640 x 960) it really is quite a different experience. The file is huge, both in file size (62.7MB) and dimension (4074 x 2986). Pay whatcha’ like We’ve always just created this file for ourselves and shared it freely. Download PSD (Retina Display) Thin-serif-mobile-640. ICM, 1:1, FULL MAGNETICS, LED.

ANSI PCB Track Width Calculator

The original version is HERE. New features in this version include: use of metric or imperial units for all major fields the ability to change units for any applicable field on the fly minor enhancements to some of the calculations - IPC-2221(A) changes the curve fit saving of all parameters in a cookie to keep your preferences between visits This page calculates approximations to the ANSI / IPC-2221/IPC-2221A design standards for PCB trace width - this is the replacement for IPC-D-275.

The approximations and rationale are described in Temperature Rise in PCB Traces, equations 13 & 15. by Douglas Brooks, UltraCAD Design, Inc. The figures returned by this calculator are to be taken as a guide only. The trace width formulas are: Internal traces : I = 0.024 x dT0.44 x A0.725 External traces: I = 0.048 x dT0.44 x A0.725 where: I = maximum current in Amps dT = temperature rise above ambient in °C A = cross-sectional area in mils²

Tip - Logic Level FET's (P-Channel) [67]

The original plan was to use aluminum panels supplied by one of the FAA support groups, but that proved to be unreliable. At this stage of the project, the FAA was ordering in lots of ten, and the future of the project was uncertain. I never knew if an order for ten units might be the last-ever order, and there wasn't enough money in the job to buy in quantity, not knowing if extra parts would be used. I looked at Front Panel Express.

In this article, I'll share my exploration of using laser-cut acrylic panels as a cost effect alternative. Read more: Acrylic Materials For Panels Discuss this article in the forums (0 replies).

RS485, specifications and in depth tutorial

RS232 is without doubt the best known interface, because this serial interface is implemented on almost all computers available today. But some of the other interfaces are certainly interesting because they can be used in situations where RS232 is not appropriate. We will concentrate on the RS485 interface here. RS232 is an interface to connect one DTE, data terminal equipment to one DCE, data communication equipment at a maximum speed of 20 kbps with a maximum cable length of 50 feet. RS485 is the most versatile communication standard in the standard series defined by the EIA, as it performs well on all four points. Differential signals with RS485:Longer distances and higher bit rates One of the main problems with RS232 is the lack of immunity for noise on the signal lines.

On every clock cycle your processor will do something. Faster the clock, the more things your processor will do. Modern microcontrollers all have built in clocks, however this tutorial will show how you can add a much faster external one to soup up your processor. There are four types of clocks: Silicon Oscillator Resistor-Capacitor (RC) Oscillator Ceramic Resonator Crystal I'm not going to go into details of each. So what does a crystal look like?
