SN65HVD78D

Texas Instruments · RS-485 / RS-422 ICs · SOIC-8

SN65HVD78D from Texas Instruments, 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 R output Receive data output; logic high when differential bus input VID exceeds positive threshold and receiver is enabled (RE low).
2 RE input Receiver enable input, active-low; receiver is enabled when RE is logic low, disabled when high or open.
3 DE input Driver enable input, active-high; driver is enabled when DE is logic high, driver outputs go high-impedance when low or open.
4 D input Driver data input; determines the logic state of differential outputs A and B when driver is enabled (DE high).
5 GND power_in Ground; local device ground reference potential.
6 A tri_state Tri-state differential bus output/input complementary to B; driver output when transmitting, receiver input when listening, high-impedance when driver disabled.
7 B tri_state Tri-state differential bus output/input complementary to A; driver output when transmitting, receiver input when listening, high-impedance when driver disabled.
8 VCC power_in Power supply input; 3.3-V supply with recommended operating range 3.0 V to 3.6 V.
