Isolation used to mean one thing: big, expensive transformers that dominated your board real estate. The UCC33420 changes that equation. In this post, Petr Dvořák shows how he built a complete isolated RS-485 transceiver by pairing the UCC33420 with an ISO1432 transceiver and a TXS0108 voltage translator, all in about two hours. I'm proud to work on technology that makes engineers' lives easier!
