 | | Abstract: A circuit is described that provides fully isolated RS-485 full-duplex data communication with only two integrated circuits (ICs). |
 | | The optocouplers transmit digital signals across the internal isolation barrier, and the center-tapped transformer transmits power across the barrier from its logic (non-isolated) side to its isolated side. |
