MAX3483ECSA+T

Maxim Integrated · RS-485/RS-422 ICs · SOP-8

MAX3483ECSA+T from Maxim Integrated, in a SOP-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: RO is high if A > B by 200mV and low if A < B by 200mV.
2 RE input Receiver Output Enable: RO is enabled when RE is low and is high impedance when RE is high; RE high with DE low puts the device into low-power shutdown.
3 DE input Driver Output Enable: the driver outputs are enabled by bringing DE high and are high impedance when DE is low.
4 DI input Driver Input: a low on DI forces output Y low and output Z high, and a high on DI forces Y high and Z low.
5 GND power_in Ground.
6 A bidirectional Noninverting Receiver Input and Noninverting Driver Output for the half-duplex MAX3483E.
7 B bidirectional Inverting Receiver Input and Inverting Driver Output for the half-duplex MAX3483E.
8 VCC power_in Positive Supply: 3.0V ≤ VCC ≤ 3.6V; do not operate the device with VCC > 3.6V.
