SN65HVD20DR

Texas Instruments · RS-485 / RS-422 ICs · SOIC-8

SN65HVD20DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-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 R output Receive data output. Digital CMOS output that reflects the state of the differential receiver comparing bus lines A and B.
2 RE input Receiver enable, active low. Drive low to enable the receiver output R; drive high to place R in a high-impedance state.
3 DE input Driver enable, active high. Drive high to enable the differential driver outputs A and B; drive low to place the driver in a high-impedance state.
4 D input Driver data input. Digital CMOS input; the logic level here determines the differential state driven on the A/B bus when DE is high.
5 GND power_in Local device ground / reference potential.
6 A bidirectional RS-485 differential bus line A (non-inverting). Driver output or receiver input, complementary to B. Extended common-mode range -20 V to 25 V.
7 B bidirectional RS-485 differential bus line B (inverting). Driver output or receiver input, complementary to A. Extended common-mode range -20 V to 25 V.
8 VCC power_in Supply voltage input, 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Bypass locally with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor to GND.
