SP485EEN-L

MaxLinear · RS-485 / RS-422 ICs · SOIC-8

SP485EEN-L from MaxLinear, 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 RO output Receiver output: goes HIGH when A - B is at least +0.2 V, LOW when A - B is at most -0.2 V, and HIGH when the inputs are open (fail-safe).
2 RE input Receiver output enable, active LOW: a logic LOW enables the receiver and a logic HIGH disables it, with input thresholds of 2.0 V (min high) and 0.8 V (max low).
3 DE input Driver output enable, active HIGH: a logic HIGH enables the differential driver outputs and a logic LOW tri-states them, with input thresholds of 2.0 V (min high) and 0.8 V (max low).
4 DI input Driver input that sets the differential driver outputs A and B, with input thresholds of 2.0 V (min high) and 0.8 V (max low).
5 GND power_in Ground connection for the device.
6 A bidirectional Non-inverting driver output and receiver input, with a receiver common-mode range of -7 V to +12 V.
7 B bidirectional Inverting driver output and receiver input, with a receiver common-mode range of -7 V to +12 V.
8 VCC power_in Positive supply; must be held between 4.75 V and 5.25 V.
