The main difference between RS485 and RS232, is the ability to connect several devices on the same wires, forming a serial bus. When in RS485 mode the USART is able to tristate (disconnect) it’s output, thus granting some other device the usage of the bus. In most configurations all but one of the devices on the bus, are slaves. The master will address the other devices using a …

The MCP2221 is a USB-to-UART/I2C serial converter which enables USB connectivity in applications that have a UART and I ² C interfaces. The device reduces external components by integrating the USB termination resistors and the oscillator needed for US ...

Introduction This user guide introduces the SAM4E-EK Evaluation Kit (SAM4E-EK) and describes its development and de-bugging capabilities.

Networking interfaces include Ethernet PHY, CAN, UART, and RS485. The kit is supported by Libero SoC Design Software, Microchip's design software for flash-based FPGAs and SoC FPGAs.

Overview This document provides design details and usage for the universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) to serial peripheral interface (SPI). The UART-to-SPI interface can be used to communicate to SPI slave devices from a PC with a UART port. SPI is a full duplex, serial bus commonly used in the embedded world because of its simple hardware interface …

The PIC18-Q84 family of MCUs work with Controller Area Network Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) for automotive interface and smart sensor networks.

PIC32CM MC microcontrollers (MCUs) are 32-bit Arm Cortex M0+ based 5V devices and ideal for motor control, industrial control and other 5V applications.
