SN65HVD888DR

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

SN65HVD888DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-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 R output Receive data output. CMOS-level digital output driven by the differential receiver comparing bus pins A and B.
2 RE input Receiver enable, active low. Drive low to enable the receiver output R; drive high to place R in high-impedance.
3 DE input Driver enable, active high. Drive high to enable the differential bus driver onto A/B; drive low to place the driver outputs in high-impedance.
4 D input Driver data input. CMOS-level digital input whose state (when DE is asserted) is transmitted differentially onto bus pins A and B.
5 GND power_in Local device ground / reference potential.
6 A bidirectional RS-485 differential bus I/O pin A (complementary to B). Driver output when DE is high, receiver input when DE is low. Rated ±18 V DC on the bus and ±100 V transient through 100 Ω.
7 B bidirectional RS-485 differential bus I/O pin B (complementary to A). Driver output when DE is high, receiver input when DE is low. Rated ±18 V DC on the bus and ±100 V transient through 100 Ω.
8 VCC power_in Supply voltage input, 4.5 V to 5.5 V (5 V nominal). Bypass with a local decoupling capacitor to GND.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: SN65HVD888DR
  • Footprint: Package_SO:SOIC-8_3.9x4.9mm_P1.27mm
  • 3D model: SOIC-8 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: sn65hvd888dr-etched.step / sn65hvd888dr-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); sn65hvd888dr.step / sn65hvd888dr.glb are the bare package body.

Provenance

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

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (34 pp, sha256 e74262abbb10146b, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
