GM490E

GATEMODE · RS-485/RS-422 ICs · SOP-8

GM490E from GATEMODE, 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 VCC power_in Positive supply. 4.75V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.25V (5V ±5%). Absolute max 6.5V. Bypass with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
2 RO output Receiver Output. If A−B > 200mV, RO is high; if A−B < −200mV, RO is low. VOH ≥ 3.5V at −4mA, VOL ≤ 0.4V at 4mA. Fail-safe high with open inputs.
3 DI input Driver Input. A low on DI forces output Y low and output Z high; a high on DI forces Y high and Z low. VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V.
4 GND power_in Device ground reference. All voltages are referenced to this pin.
5 Y output Non-inverting Driver Output (RS-485/RS-422 bus line). Differential driver output pair with Z; VOD ≥ 1.5V into 27Ω (RS-485) or ≥ 2V into 50Ω (RS-422). ±15kV HBM ESD protection, short-circuit current limited (35-250mA) with thermal shutdown.
6 Z output Inverting Driver Output (RS-485/RS-422 bus line). Complementary to Y. ±15kV HBM ESD protection, short-circuit current limited (35-250mA) with thermal shutdown.
7 B input Inverting Receiver Input (RS-485/RS-422 bus line). Differential input with A; ΔVTH ±200mV, 70mV typ hysteresis, 96kΩ min input resistance (1/8 unit load, allows up to 256 nodes). Input range −7V ≤ VCM ≤ 12V. ±15kV HBM ESD protection.
8 A input Non-inverting Receiver Input (RS-485/RS-422 bus line). Differential input with B; ΔVTH ±200mV, 70mV typ hysteresis, 96kΩ min input resistance (1/8 unit load). Input range −7V ≤ VCM ≤ 12V. ±15kV HBM ESD protection.
