Typical Application (continued)

9.2.1 Design Requirements

This example requires the following:

•

5-V power source

•

RS-485 bus operating at 10 Mbps or less

•

Connector that ensures the correct polarity for port pins

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

Place the device close to bus connector to keep traces (stub) short to prevent adding reflections to the bus line.

If desired, add external fail-safe biasing to ensure 200 mV on the A-B port, if the drive is in high impedance state

(see Failsafe in RS-485 data buses).
