The ON Semiconductor NCN5150SOICGEVB evaluation board features the NCN5150 (RS 796-1198) M-BUS transceiver in an SOIC package. The board includes all components needed for operating and demonstrating this device.

The NCN5150 is an integrated slave transceiver for use in two-wire Meter Bus (M-BUS) slave devices and repeaters. It includes a programmable power level of up to 2 unit loads which are available for use in external circuits through a 3.3 V LDO regulator. It can provide communication up to the maximum M-BUS communication speed of 38400 Bd (half-duplex).
