MAX3485 RS-485 Transceiver

@@ -0,0 +1,53 @@+# MAX3485++**Analog Devices** · RS-485 Transceiver · SOIC-8++The MAX3485 is a 3.3 V half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver with a driver and receiver in one package, each with an enable. It converts logic-level UART signals to the differential A/B bus and back for robust multidrop communication over long cables (Modbus, industrial networks), at data rates up to 10 Mbps.++## Pinout++| Pin | Name | Type | Function |+|---|---|---|---|+| 1 | RO | output | Receiver Output. If A > B by 200mV, RO will be high; if A < B by 200mV, RO will be low. Drives to VOH = VCC - 0.4V (min) at IOUT = -1.5mA. |+| 2 | RE | input | Receiver Output Enable (active-low). RO is enabled when RE is low; RO is high-impedance when RE is high. VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max. |+| 3 | DE | input | Driver Output Enable. Driver outputs A and B are enabled when DE is high and high-impedance when DE is low. VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max. |+| 4 | DI | input | Driver Input. A low on DI forces output A low and output B high; a high on DI forces output A high and output B low. VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max. |+| 5 | GND | power_in | Ground reference. |+| 6 | A | bidirectional | Noninverting Receiver Input and Noninverting Driver Output (half-duplex). Differential bus pin; -7V to +12V common-mode range; VOD (differential driver output) = 1.5V min with RL = 54Ω. |+| 7 | B | bidirectional | Inverting Receiver Input and Inverting Driver Output (half-duplex). Differential bus pin; -7V to +12V common-mode range; complementary to A. |+| 8 | VCC | power_in | Positive Supply: 3.0V ≤ VCC ≤ 3.6V. ICC ≈ 1.1mA typ (2.2mA max) with no load. |++## Key specifications++| Parameter | Value |+|---|---|+| Type | Half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver |+| Supply voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V |+| Data rate | Up to 10 Mbps |+| Bus | Differential A / B, up to 32 nodes |+| Enables | Separate driver (DE) and receiver (RE) |+| Operating temperature | -40 C to 85 C |++## Ordering variants++- `MAX3485CSA`+- `MAX3485ESA`+- `MAX3485CPA`+- `MAX3485EPA`+- `MAX3485C/D`++## CAD (KiCad official)++- Symbol: `max3485.kicad_sym`+- Footprint: `max3485.kicad_mod`+- 3D model: SOIC-8 body from KiCad `Package_SO/SOIC-8_3.9x4.9mm_P1.27mm`.++## Provenance++Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:++- **Datasheet:** [Analog Devices datasheet](https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/MAX3483-MAX3491.pdf) (17 pp, sha256 `e648fd27831d1ba1`, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)+- **Extractor:** `ds2sf` (Claude).
