GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EVAL-RS485HDEBZ, EVAL-RS485FD8EBZ, and
EVAL-RS485FDEBZ allow quick and easy evaluation of RS-485
transceivers with standard SOIC footprints. The evaluation
board allows all of the input and output functions to be
exercised without the need for external components. Screw
terminal blocks provide convenient connections for power and
ground, digital I/O, and RS-485 signals.
The EVAL-RS485HDEBZ evaluation board has a footprint for
a half-duplex RS-485 transceiver in an 8-lead SOIC package.
The EVAL-RS485FD8EBZ evaluation board has a footprint for
a full-duplex RS-485 transceiver in an 8-lead SOIC package.
The EVAL-RS485FDEBZ evaluation board has a footprint for a
full-duplex RS-485 transceiver in a 14-lead SOIC package.
