MAX487-TD

TDSEMIC · RS-485 / RS-422 ICs · DIP-8

MAX487-TD from TDSEMIC, in a DIP-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: RO is high when A is more than 200mV above B, and low when A is more than 200mV below B.
2 RE input Receiver enable, active low; when RE is high the receiver output is high impedance.
3 DE input Driver enable, active high; when DE is low the driver outputs are high impedance, and when DE is high the chip is in transmit mode (receive mode when DE and RE are both low).
4 DI input Driver data input: when DI is low A is high and B is low, and when DI is high the outputs are the opposite.
5 GND power_in Ground, negative supply terminal.
6 A bidirectional Non-inverting receiver input and non-inverting driver output.
7 B bidirectional Inverting receiver input and inverting driver output.
8 VCC power_in Positive power supply terminal.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: MAX487-TD
  • Footprint: Package_DIP:DIP-8_W7.62mm
  • 3D model: DIP-8 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: max487-td-etched.step / max487-td-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); max487-td.step / max487-td.glb are the bare package body.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: TDSEMIC datasheet (11 pp, sha256 21d1f2cac87a9686, retrieved 2026-10-19, tier: lcsc)
  • Datasheet language: Chinese. Pin names, descriptions, and specs on this page were extracted and translated to English by ds2sf; the linked PDF is the manufacturer original.
  • Extractor: parts-factory 2.0.0 / extract_pins 0.3, primary claude-sonnet-5-5 (vision), consensus claude-opus-5-5 (agreed), guards: pin_guards 0.1: passed. Pins are checked against the footprint pad set and their cited datasheet pages before publish.
