Riverside, Calif., August 3, 2011 - ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ, a leading manufacturer and supplier of
electronic components, today announced the availability of two new evaluation boards for
RS-485-based applications. Using ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ?
TBU? High-Speed Protectors (HSPs),
GDTs,
TVS diodes and
MOV products, the new boards were developed as a design resource that streamlines evaluating circuit protection on RS-485 serial device ports. To meet the required industry standards on RS-485 port interfaces, the new boards provide two different evaluation approaches. The ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ RS-485EVALBOARD1 includes two ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ? TBU? High-Speed Protectors (HSPs), two ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ? fast-acting GDTs and two ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ? TVS diodes. The ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ RS-485EVALBOARD2 uses ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ? TBU? High-Speed Protectors (HSPs), MOVs and TVS products.
"¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ designed the evaluation boards to help developers more quickly and easily determine the circuit protection required for their applications that use RS-485 serial device ports," said Ian Doyle, product line manager of semiconductor products at ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ "The evaluation boards demonstrate that with ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ? TBU? HSP solutions, we are able to offer enhanced performance features over competing technologies in terms of increased surge and transient protection levels on RS-485 ports that also enable an entire circuit protection solution to fit into a smaller PCB area."
¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ' RS-485 evaluation boards are offered through the company's distribution sales partners, with inventory available immediately at , and . As a pricing example, the ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ RS-485EVALBOARD2 is priced at $20.00 in 10 piece quantities.
For more information, ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ has produced a demonstration video that explains the use and benefits of its RS-485 evaluation boards in assessing port protection performance:
