MAX3088EIM

HGSEMI · RS-485/RS-422 ICs · SOP-8

MAX3088EIM from HGSEMI, 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. When RE is low, RO = 1 if (A-B) ≥ -50mV and RO = 0 if (A-B) ≤ -200mV. High-impedance when RE is high; enters shutdown when RE=1 and DE=0. VOH ≥ VCC-0.6V at IO=-4mA; VOL ≤ 0.4V at IO=4mA.
2 RE input Receiver output enable, active low. RO is enabled when RE is low and high-impedance when RE is high. Driving RE high with DE low places the device in low-power shutdown mode. Uses a hot-swap input structure that keeps RE high during power-up transients. VIH ≥ 2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V.
3 DE input Driver output enable, active high. Driver A/B outputs are enabled when DE is high and high-impedance when DE is low. Driving RE high with DE low places the device in low-power shutdown mode. Uses a hot-swap input structure that keeps DE low during power-up transients. VIH ≥ 2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V.
4 DI input Driver input. When DE is high, a low on DI forces A low and B high; a high on DI forces A high and B low. VIH ≥ 2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V, IIN ±1µA.
5 GND power_in Ground reference for supply and all logic-level signals.
6 A bidirectional Non-inverting receiver input AND non-inverting driver output (shared half-duplex bus line). Withstands -7V to +12V bus common-mode; ±16kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protected. Receiver differential threshold VTH is between -200mV and -50mV.
7 B bidirectional Inverting receiver input AND inverting driver output (shared half-duplex bus line). Withstands -7V to +12V bus common-mode; ±16kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protected.
8 VCC power_in Positive supply, 4.5V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5V. Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. Typical ICC = 530µA (no-load, driver enabled); shutdown current 0.05µA typ.
