We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "RS485",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release One chip has PCI Express expansion options covered from
MosChip Semiconductor Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "World's first PCIe to peripheral I/O controller to have more than 21 combinations of serial, parallel, USB and ISA interface options".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Half-rack supply enables flexible test systems from
TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments): "Delivers stable, variable output voltage and current for a broad range of requirements".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Unipower Europe
concerning its INV1000 telecom inverters
- take a look at Telecom inverters provide high power density
which says: "Inverters in the INV1000 series can be operated independently or integrated using a matching controller or static transfer switch as well as a power distribution and maintenance by-pass unit".
Take a look also at the news release from Intersil, RS485/422 transceiver runs up to 100Mbit/s,
as well as Programmable supplies boast top power density from Xantrex Technology,
and UARTs expand design options from Exar.
