MAX3078EM

HGSEMI · RS-485 / RS-422 ICs · SOP-8

MAX3078EM from HGSEMI, in a SOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 RO output Receiver output. When /RE is low, RO is high if (A-B) ≥ -50mV and low if (A-B) ≤ -200mV. Fail-safe pulls RO high when the bus is open or shorted. CMOS logic level output.
2 /RE input Receiver output enable (active low). RO is enabled when /RE is low; RO is high-impedance when /RE is high. Driving /RE high while DE is low places the device into low-power shutdown mode. Hot-swap input structure.
3 DE input Driver output enable (active high). Driver outputs A,B are enabled when DE is high; outputs are high-impedance when DE is low. Driving DE low while /RE is high places the device into low-power shutdown mode. Hot-swap input structure.
4 DI input Driver data input. When DE is high, a logic low on DI drives A low and B high; a logic high on DI drives A high and B low. CMOS input (V_IH ≥ 2V, V_IL ≤ 0.8V).
5 GND power_in Ground reference (0V).
6 A bidirectional Non-inverting RS-485/RS-422 bus line. Acts as receiver non-inverting input and driver non-inverting output (half-duplex). Absolute range -7V to +12V, ±16kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protected. Receiver input impedance ≥96kΩ (1/8 unit load).
7 B bidirectional Inverting RS-485/RS-422 bus line. Acts as receiver inverting input and driver inverting output (half-duplex). Absolute range -7V to +12V, ±16kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protected. Receiver input impedance ≥96kΩ (1/8 unit load).
8 VCC power_in Positive supply, 3.15V ≤ VCC ≤ 3.45V (nominal 3.3V). Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the pin.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: MAX3078EM
  • Footprint: Package_SO:SOIC-8_3.9x4.9mm_P1.27mm
  • 3D model: SOP-8 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: max3078em-etched.step / max3078em-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); max3078em.step / max3078em.glb are the bare package body.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
max3078em.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
max3078em-etched.step 1.9 MB You want the part with MAX3078EM already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 471 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
