EVM Setup and Precautions
Figure 1. RS-485 Half-Duplex EVM Schematic
For the first measurements, ignore the common-mode simulation and connect EARTH to GND through a
wire-bridge between pin 1 and pin 2 of TB1.
Figure 2. Bridging DUT_GND with EARTH_GND
While JMP2 to JMP4 are stimulation points, or headers through which the control and data signals for the
RS485 Half-Duplex EVM are applied, JMP1, and JMP11 to JMP14 are probe points, or headers at which
these signal can be measured.
Note that the 50-
Ω
resistors, R2, R3, and R4, have the index n.a., indicating that these components are
not assembled. Because signal generators have a typical source impedance of 50
Ω
, their output signal is
twice the required signal voltage, and assumes that the on-board 50-
Ω
resistors divide this voltage down
to the correct signal level.
