BL3085A

BL Shanghai Belling · RS-485 / RS-422 ICs · SOP-8

BL3085A from BL Shanghai Belling, in a SOP-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 output driven from the differential A/B receiver comparator. High-Z when the receiver is disabled (/RE=1). VOH >= 4.0V at IO=8mA (5V), VOL <= 0.4V at IO=8mA.
2 /RE input Receiver Output Enable (active low). /RE=0 enables the receiver; /RE=1 disables (RO High-Z). With /RE=1 and DE=0 the device enters shutdown mode (ICC <= 10 uA).
3 DE input Driver Output Enable (active high). DE=1 enables the differential driver on A/B; DE=0 places A/B in High-Z. With /RE=1 and DE=0 the device enters shutdown mode.
4 DI input Driver Input. CMOS logic input driving the differential A/B outputs when DE=1 (DI=1 -> A=high, B=low). Input hysteresis typ. 100 mV; VIH >= 2.0V, VIL <= 0.8V.
5 GND power_in Ground reference for the device. All voltages are referred to this pin.
6 A bidirectional Non-inverting receiver input and non-inverting driver output (RS-485 bus line A). Withstands +/-13V bus voltage; receiver input resistance >= 96 kOhm (1/8 unit load). Differential threshold VTH between -200 mV and -50 mV.
7 B bidirectional Inverting receiver input and inverting driver output (RS-485 bus line B). Withstands +/-13V bus voltage; +/-15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD protection.
8 VCC power_in Power supply input. Operating range +3.0V to +3.6V (3.3V option) or +4.5V to +5.5V (5V option); absolute max +7V. Typical ICC ~350 uA (5V) / ~270 uA (3.3V), shutdown ICC <= 10 uA. Bypass with 0.1 uF to GND.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
bl3085a.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
bl3085a-etched.step 1.9 MB You want the part with BL3085A already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 459 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.
