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,

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

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]

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

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

RS-232C port scans remote keypad - 12/04/97 EDN Design Idea In many embedded or control applications, you might prefer to use

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
