ST485BDR

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

ST485BDR from STMicroelectronics, 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 RO output Receiver output. CMOS-level logic output that reflects the differential polarity of A vs B; high when (A-B) >= +0.2 V, low when (A-B) <= -0.2 V. High-impedance (tri-state) when RE is high. VOH >= 3.5 V at IO = -4 mA; VOL <= 0.4 V at IO = 4 mA.
2 RE input Receiver output enable (active-low). Drive low to enable the receiver output RO; drive high to place RO in high-impedance state. Input high >= 2.0 V, input low <= 0.8 V; input leakage ±2 µA.
3 DE input Driver output enable (active-high). Drive high to enable the differential driver outputs A/B; drive low to place A and B in high-impedance state (disables driver, allowing bus sharing). Input high >= 2.0 V, input low <= 0.8 V.
4 DI input Driver input. CMOS-level TTL-compatible logic input; when DE is high, DI high forces A high and B low, DI low forces A low and B high. Input high >= 2.0 V, input low <= 0.8 V; leakage ±2 µA.
5 GND power_in Ground / 0 V reference for the device.
6 A bidirectional Non-inverting differential bus pin: non-inverting receiver input and non-inverting driver output. Tolerates -7 V to +12 V common-mode; ±14 V absolute maximum. Receiver input impedance >= 24 kΩ.
7 B bidirectional Inverting differential bus pin: inverting receiver input and inverting driver output. Tolerates -7 V to +12 V common-mode; ±14 V absolute maximum. Receiver input impedance >= 24 kΩ.
8 VCC power_in Positive supply. Nominal 5 V ± 5 % (single supply). Absolute maximum 7 V. Quiescent supply current 300 µA typ. (unloaded, driver disabled).

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: ST485BDR
  • Footprint: Package_SO:SOIC-8_3.9x4.9mm_P1.27mm
  • 3D model: SOIC-8 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: st485bdr-etched.step / st485bdr-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); st485bdr.step / st485bdr.glb are the bare package body.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
st485bdr.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
st485bdr-etched.step 2.0 MB You want the part with ST485BDR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 494 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

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

  • Datasheet: STMicroelectronics datasheet (19 pp, sha256 16bf6365fefdf622, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
