SP491ECN-L

MaxLinear · Pre-ordered Chips · SOIC-14

SP491ECN-L from MaxLinear, in a SOIC-14. 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 NC unconnected No connect.
2 R output Receiver output; the receiver output is held in a high state when the receiver inputs are left unconnected (fail-safe).
3 RE input Receiver output enable, active LOW; a logic high on RE tri-states the receiver.
4 DE input Driver output enable, active HIGH; a logic low on DE tri-states the driver outputs.
5 D input Driver input; input high voltage is 2.0V minimum and input low voltage is 0.8V maximum.
6 GND power_in Ground connection.
7 GND power_in Ground connection.
8 NC unconnected No connect.
9 Y output Non-inverting driver output; with 54Ω across the differential outputs the driver maintains greater than 1.5V levels.
10 Z output Inverting driver output; with 54Ω across the differential outputs the driver maintains greater than 1.5V levels.
11 B input Inverting receiver input; receiver sensitivity is ±200mV over a common-mode range of -7V to 12V.
12 A input Non-inverting receiver input; receiver sensitivity is ±200mV over a common-mode range of -7V to 12V.
13 NC unconnected No connect.
14 VCC power_in Positive supply, 4.75V to 5.25V.
