The AK-RS485/422-HD board converts serial UART streams into RS485/422 communication protocol. It is a breakout board for the XR33038 RS485/422 transceiver IC from EXAR.

This board provides standard half-duplex RS485/422 conversion with a maximum data rate of 10Mbps. It has a wide power supply range (from 2.8V up to 5.5V) and a 18V tolerance (withstands direct short circuit) on the bus pins.

The board has 0.1″ (2.54mm) spaced pins for the UART and power supply, and a 5mm spaced pins where you will connect the RS485/422 signals. We also have a version of the same board with practical screw terminals.

There is an on-board 120 Ohm termination resistor that you can enable by joining a solder jumper and two LEDs that indicate whenever the transmitter and/or receiver are enabled.

If you are looking for a Full-Duplex RS485/422 transceiver, we have that too.

The board comes fully tested and populated.
