# RS485

**GR** · RS-485 / RS-422 ICs · SOP-8

RS485 from GR, in a SOP-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: goes high when VA is more than 200 mV above VB and low when VA is more than 200 mV below VB. |
| 2 | RE | input | Receiver output enable, active low: when driven high, the receiver output RO is placed in high-impedance state. |
| 3 | DE | input | Driver output enable, active high: when DE is low the driver outputs A and B are high-impedance, and DE high puts the chip in transmit mode. |
| 4 | DI | input | Driver input: DI low drives A high and B low, and DI high drives the opposite states. |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Ground, negative supply terminal. |
| 6 | A | bidirectional | Receiver non-inverting input and driver non-inverting output. |
| 7 | B | bidirectional | Receiver inverting input and driver inverting output. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply terminal, 5 V single supply (absolute maximum 10 V). |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `RS485`
- Footprint: `Package_SO:SOIC-8_3.9x4.9mm_P1.27mm`
- 3D model: SOP-8 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `rs485-etched.step` / `rs485-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `rs485.step` / `rs485.glb` are the bare package body.
