SN75179BD from Texas Instruments, 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 | VCC | power_in | 5V power supply |
| 2 | R | output | Receiver output; high when differential A-B ≥ +0.2V, low when A-B ≤ -0.2V |
| 3 | D | input | Driver input; controls Y and Z outputs complementarily; logic high/low |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Ground reference |
| 5 | Y | output | Non-inverting driver output; high when D input high; ±60mA output capability |
| 6 | Z | output | Inverted driver output; high when D input low; ±60mA output capability |
| 7 | B | input | Inverted RS485 bus input; 12kΩ minimum input impedance; differential pair with pin 8 (A) |
| 8 | A | input | Non-inverting RS485 bus input; 12kΩ minimum input impedance; differential pair with pin 7 (B) |
