MAX3485ESA-MS

MSKSEMI · RS-485 / RS-422 ICs · SOP-8

MAX3485ESA-MS from MSKSEMI, 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 tri_state Receiver output; logic high when /RE low and A-B ≥ -10mV, logic low when A-B ≤ -200mV, high impedance when /RE high.
2 /RE input Receiver enable input; drive low to enable receiver output RO based on differential bus input, drive high for RO high impedance, use with DE low for low-power shutdown mode.
3 DE input Driver enable input; drive high to enable driver outputs on A and B bus lines, drive low for high impedance state, use with /RE high for low-power shutdown mode.
4 DI input Driver data input; with DE high, logic low drives A output low and B output high, logic high drives A output high and B output low.
5 GND power_in Ground; 0V reference point for all voltages.
6 A bidirectional Non-inverting receiver input and non-inverting driver output; RS-485 bus A signal with ±15V bus withstand voltage range and 1/8 unit load input impedance.
7 B bidirectional Inverting receiver input and inverting driver output; RS-485 bus B signal with ±15V bus withstand voltage range and 1/8 unit load input impedance.
8 VCC power_in Positive power supply; operating voltage range 3.0V to 5.5V, maximum rating +7V, continuous power dissipation maximum 470mW in SOP-8 package.
