MAX485CSA+

Maxim Integrated · Global Sourcing Parts · SOIC-8

MAX485CSA+ from Maxim Integrated, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

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.
2 RE input Receiver Output Enable: RO is enabled when RE is low; RO is high impedance when RE is high.
3 DE input Driver Output Enable: the driver outputs, Y and Z, are enabled by bringing DE high and are high impedance when DE is low.
4 DI input Driver Input: a low on DI forces output Y low and output Z high, and a high on DI forces output Y high and output Z low.
5 GND power_in Ground.
6 A bidirectional Noninverting Receiver Input and Noninverting Driver Output.
7 B bidirectional Inverting Receiver Input and Inverting Driver Output.
8 VCC power_in Positive Supply: 4.75V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.25V.
