TD501M485 from VISOM, in a DIP-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 | RXD | output | UART receive data output to the host MCU (data received from the RS-485 bus). CMOS logic referenced to VCC (5 V for TD501M485); VOH >= VCC-0.4 V and VOL <= 0.4 V at 4 mA. Maximum output current 10 mA. Not compatible with a 3.3 V host. |
| 2 | TXD | input | UART transmit data input from the host MCU (data sent onto the RS-485 bus). CMOS logic input referenced to VCC (5 V): VIH >= 0.7VCC, VIL <= 0.3VCC. Drive current 2 mA typical. Automatic transmit/receive switching, no external DE/RE control required. |
| 3 | GND | power_in | Primary-side (input / logic) ground return for VCC and the TXD/RXD UART interface. Galvanically isolated from RGND on the RS-485 side (2.5 kVDC isolation). |
| 4 | VCC | power_in | Primary-side supply input, 5 V nominal (4.75-5.25 V) for TD501M485. Absolute maximum 7 V; module has no reverse-polarity protection. Static current ~18 mA typ, max operating current 70 mA. Bypass with 10 uF close to the pin. |
| 5 | RGND | power_out | Secondary-side (isolated) ground reference for the RS-485 A/B bus and for the internal isolated VO rail. Galvanically isolated from GND (pin 3) by 2500 VDC. For enhanced EMC, connect RGND to the cable inner shield with the outer shield single-point earthed. |
| 6 | A | bidirectional | RS-485 non-inverting differential bus line (A). Isolated from the primary side. Differential output |
| 7 | B | bidirectional | RS-485 inverting differential bus line (B). Isolated complement to pin A. Same electrical characteristics as A. Receiver input impedance >= 96 kohm over -7 V <= VCM <= +12 V. |
| 8 | VO | power_out | Isolated output rail from the internal DC-DC (regulated on the secondary side, referenced to RGND). Available as an auxiliary supply for external protection/bias networks on the RS-485 side; do not use to power large external loads. Leave open if unused. |
