3 RB output RS232 receiver output 2, held Hi-Z when RXEN is high.
4 485/232 input Interface select: logic low enables RS232 mode and logic high enables RS485 mode; do not float.
5 RXEN input Receiver enable: logic high disables the RS232 and RS485 receivers leaving outputs Hi-Z, logic low enables them; do not float.

22 A input RS485 positive receiver input in full-duplex mode, or RS232 receiver input 1 (LTC2870).
23 GND power_in Ground; tie all four GND pins together.
24 VCC power_in Input supply, 3V to 5.5V; tie together with the other VCC pins and the 2.2µF or larger VCC-to-GND capacitor.
25 VL power_in Logic supply, 1.7V to 5.5V, for receiver outputs, driver inputs and control inputs; keep VL ≤ VCC for proper operation.
26 LB input Loopback enable: logic high routes driver input logic levels to the receiver outputs; do not float.
27 H/F input RS485 half-duplex select: logic low selects full-duplex and logic high selects half-duplex operation; do not float.
28 TE485 input RS485 termination enable: logic high enables 120Ω resistors between A-B and Y-Z; logic low leaves them open; do not float.
29 VEE power_out Exposed pad, electrically VEE (generated negative supply); must be soldered to the PCB.
