The ISO15x and ISO35x family consists of RS-485 transceivers commonly used for asynchronous data transmissions. Full-duplex implementation requires two signal pairs (four wires), and allows each node to transmit data on one pair while simultaneously receiving data on the other pair. For half-duplex transmission there is only one pair which shared for both transmission and reception of data. To eliminate line reflections, each cable end is terminated with a termination resistor, R(T), whose value matches the characteristic impedance, Z0, of the cable. This method, known as parallel termination, allows for higher data rates over longer cable length.
