SP485RCN-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, tri-stated when RE is HIGH and driven HIGH when the inputs are open (fail-safe). |
| 2 | RE | input | Receiver output enable, active LOW; logic HIGH tri-states the receiver output (VIL 0.8V max, VIH 2.0V min). |
| 3 | DE | input | Driver output enable, active HIGH; logic LOW tri-states the driver outputs to high impedance (>100kΩ). |
| 4 | DI | input | Driver input (VIL 0.8V max, VIH 2.0V min). |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Ground connection. |
| 6 | A | bidirectional | Non-inverting driver output / receiver input, with common-mode range -7V to +12V and 150kΩ typical receiver input impedance. |
| 7 | B | bidirectional | Inverting driver output / receiver input, with common-mode range -7V to +12V and 150kΩ typical receiver input impedance. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply, 4.75V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.25V (absolute maximum +7V). |
