Hi Cosmin,
It is generally possible to connect an RS-232 transceiver to the same connector pins as an RS-485 transceiver as long as you have the ability on each device to disable its respective driver output (so that multiple active drivers don't contend…
Bernhard,
Unfortunately TI doesn't have integrated switchable termination device like LTC2861 so far. But you can take a look at www.ti.com/.../tiducf3.pdf for some ideas of controlling termination. We also have a RS-485 / RS-232 Multiprotocol Transceiver…
Hi Bogey,
No, we do not have a single device supporting both of these interfaces today. We do have several RS-232 and RS-485 transceiver devices, though, and these can be used together to achieve a software-selectable RS-485/232 interface. For an example…
Hi Max, Could you help provide TIDA-00540 PCB file?Thanks.
And this reference design can compare SP339 multi protocol device, we have any benefit? John
Hello Nanjunda,
We don't have a single chip solution that converts RS-232 and RS-485, but this reference design solution may be what you are looking for:

Hi Dixit,
Usually UART is a point to point connection - from PC host to device, typically through RS-232 or lately a virtual com port.
To enable multidrop, you should look into something like an RS-485 trasnciever IC. Still the UART protocol does not…
Hello Ryuji,
There is a TI reference design for a multi protocol RS-485/RS-232 transceiver system which can be found here:
This design is fairly simple, basically the FORCEOFF pins on the RS-232 transceivers are tied together and used to switch the…
