I don't understand either. This chip seems targeted at synchronous communication while here we obviously have asynchronous dialog. Even if I direct connection is not reliable, putting a MAX chip seems much easier than using this specific circuit.
Maybe all Connects2 devices share the same multifunctional hardware to make scale savings, and only the software and external connections vary from model to model ? Just an idea...
