RS-232 surge protection -  . . . 

 

RS-232 to TTL Cable -  . . . 

 

RS-232 to Wireless Instrument Data Channel -  This is an adapter that allows a terminal to communicate via a 100 MHz data channel with peripherals on the same desk top. Keystrokes from the terminal are are received through the RS-232 connection and sent through the 100 MHz RF data channel.   (ATtiny2313, AT90S2313) . . .  [From Dick Cappels' project pages]

RS-232/485 converter has automatic Flow control -  04/12/01 EDN Design Idea   RS-485 communications can provide longer range and better noise immunity than RS-232, as well as multidrop capability. Because it does not have separate transmit and receive lines, RS-485 requires flow controlPDF contains multipl. . .  [by John Howard, Kw Aware, Ventura, CA]

RS-232: Lowe Hf-225 Interface -  If you have access to a Lowe HF-225 shortwave receiver, then you might be interested in this page. If you don't, then you'd probably be better off leaving now. What follows is a project I completed some time ago, which allows the Lowe HF-225 to be controlled from a PC, or other device with an available RS232 port. The Rx has an input for a remote keypad, and, consequently, was begging for me to hook my PC up to it. I don't feel the need to spell out the advantages, . . . 

RS-232C circuit has galvanic isolation -  02/02/99 EDN Design Idea (contains several designs, scroll to find this one)   You can obtain longer transmission distances with the RS-232C interface if you use galvanic isolation between the two linked terminals. Galvanic isolation also eliminates problems arising from disparate potentials between terminals. Using two MAX860/861 ICs and two TPL2200 optoisolators, you can obtain galvanic isolation for three-wire transmission without external supplies (Figure 1). . . .  [by Ioan Ciascai, REI Data, Napoca, Romania]

 

RS-232C handshake lines transfer data frame -  10/23/97 EDN Design Idea   The asynchronous RS-232C interface is a simple, low-cost option for interconnecting processor-based systems, but this character-oriented interface supports no direct mechanism to transfer variable-sized messages as self-contained. . .  [by SK Shenoy, Naval Physical & Oceanographic Lab, Kochi, India]

RS232C Level Converter -  A standard serial interfacing for PC, RS232C, requires negative logic, i. e. , logic '1' is -3V to -12V and logic '0' is +3V to +12V. To convert a TTL logic, say, TxD and RxD pins of the uC chips, thus need a converter chip. A MAX232 chip has long been using in many uC boards. It provides 2-channel RS232C port and requires external 10uF capacitors. Carefully check the polarity of capacitor when soldering the board. A DS275, however, no need external capacitor and smaller. Either circuit can be used without any problems. . . .  [Wichit Sirichote, designer]

 

RS-232c Level Converter using Transistors -  There're many, who built the Easy Programmer or C-52 EvaluationBoard, asking for the RS232C level converter chip, DS275. Many have changedto MAX232 instead, because of not available in his home. Here is anothersimple and cheap circuit using small signal transistor providing TTL toRS232C level converter. . .  [Wichit Sirichote, designer]

 

RS232c Line Driver IC Drives Power MOSFETs -  10/24/96 EDN Design Idea   Easy to effect an interface between power MOSFETs and TTL circuits. . . .  [by Santosh Shetty, NCRA, Pune University, Pune, India]

 

RS-232C link monitors animal activity -  11/06/97 EDN Design Idea   A common need in biological experimentation is the ability to unobtrusively monitor the activity of small caged animals, such as mice, rats, and rabbits, as they move about their enclosures. This monitoring must be over long per. . .  [by W Stephen Woodward, University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill]

 

RS-232C Multiplexer Serves As Multiport Adapter -  03/01/96 EDN Design Idea   Multiport RS-232C PC add-on boards are intended for intensive multichannel communication. Therefore, each serial port has its own transmission controller. If your application doesn't need interrupt-driven service, and polling the devices through RS-232C channels one after another is sufficient, then you can use a single controller with switched input and output signals instead of installing a costly multiport adapter. . . .  [by Jerzy R Chrzaszcz, Institute of Computer Science, Warsaw University of Technology Warsaw, Poland]

 

RS-232C port scans remote keypad -  12/04/97 EDN Design Idea   In many embedded or control applications, you might prefer to use a small, customized keypad with your PC-based system rather than a full-fledged alphanumeric keyboard. You may also need to locate the keypad some distance from th. . .  [by SK Shenoy, NPOL, Kochi, India]

 

RS232C Powers & ReaDS 8 Bit Switch Matrix -  04/11/96 EDN Design Idea   The circuit in Figure 1 provides a remote menu-selection switch matrix for PCs. It connects a linear, 8-bit switch to the RS-232C port; the RS-232C signal pins provide the circuit's frugal power requirements. You can easily modif. . .  [by BR>Dhananjay Gadre, IUCAA, Pune, India]

RS-485 Repeater Extends Standard's Reach -  05/26/94  EDN Design Idea   RS-485 specifies communications for distances up to 4000 ft. This limit is the consequence of losses in the twisted pair used to carry the data. Beyond 4000 ft, skin effect and dielectric losses take their toll, attenuating the signal beyond use. . . .  [by Mitchell Lee, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA05.26.94]

RS485-Like Multi-Drop Bus with Half Duplex Serial Protocol -  PBUS is an RS485-like multi-drop bus for interconnecting PIC and other microcontroller-driven devices. Protocol and software is written by Jap. Just include a separate pbus library file into your project and add your command handlers for the specific device in a few lines. . .  [Peter Jakab, Electrical Engineer, Engineer of Informatics]
