MC8721C

GATEMODE · Interface - Specialized · SOP-8

MC8721C from GATEMODE, 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 VB power_in Bus voltage input pin accepting 18V to 45V for M-Bus receiver operation.
2 RIDD input Bus current adjustment input pin; external resistor RRIDD (20kΩ to 200kΩ recommended) determines static bias current.
3 SC passive Receive demodulation capacitor connection pin; 1µF capacitor required for proper signal detection.
4 STC power_out 5V regulator output pin providing 5.0V to 5.5V with up to 30mA available drive current.
5 TX output M-Bus serial data output pin with 3.3V logic levels (low 0V-0.3V, high 3.2V-3.4V).
6 VDD power_out 3.3V regulator output pin providing 3.2V to 3.4V with up to 30mA available drive current.
7 RX input M-Bus serial data input pin accepting 0V to 5.5V input range with 3.3V default logic levels.
8 GND power_in Ground connection pin serving as voltage reference for all circuit voltages.
