Figures 2-1 and 2-2 illustrate typical Converter applications. In Figure 2-1, the Converter is labeled “terminated”; this indicates that the Converter’s termination switch S2 has been set to ON. Also note that although Figure 2-2 shows only two interconnected Converters, up to 64 of them can be daisychained in a multipoint system. Both figures show the signal flow for the Converter in full-duplex operation for both point-to-point and multipoint applications. (Direction of signal flow is indicated by arrows.)
