max485ESA-JSM

JSMSEMI max485ESA · RS-485 / RS-422 ICs · SOP-8

max485ESA-JSM from JSMSEMI max485ESA, 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. Outputs logic-high when A-B > +0.2V and logic-low when A-B < -0.2V. High-impedance when RE is high; guarantees logic-high when receiver inputs are open (fail-safe).
2 RE input Receiver Output Enable (active-low). Drive low to enable the receiver output RO; drive high to place RO in high-impedance state.
3 DE input Driver Output Enable (active-high). Drive high to enable driver outputs A and B; drive low to place them in high-impedance state.
4 DI input Driver Input. TTL/CMOS logic input; logic-low drives A low and B high, logic-high drives A high and B low (when DE is asserted).
5 GND power_in Ground reference. 0V reference for all supply and signal voltages.
6 A bidirectional Non-inverting Driver Output and Non-inverting Receiver Input for the RS-485/RS-422 differential bus. Driver output voltage -8V to +12.5V range; receiver common-mode range -7V to +12V. Short-circuit current limited to 35-250mA.
7 B bidirectional Inverting Driver Output and Inverting Receiver Input for the RS-485/RS-422 differential bus. Driver output voltage -8V to +12.5V range; receiver common-mode range -7V to +12V. Short-circuit current limited to 35-250mA.
8 VCC power_in Positive supply input. Single 5V supply (4.75V to 5.25V). Quiescent current typically 300µA (RE=0, DE=0) up to 500µA typ with driver enabled.
