WB485E from waferbest, 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. RO is high when VA-VB > +200mV and low when VA-VB < -200mV. Goes high-impedance when RE is high. TTL/CMOS-level output referenced to VCC/GND. |
| 2 | RE | input | Receiver output enable, active low. When RE is low the receiver output RO is enabled; when RE is high RO is placed in high impedance. VIH >= 2V, VIL <= 0.8V. |
| 3 | DE | input | Driver output enable, active high. When DE is high the driver outputs A/B are enabled (transmit mode); when DE is low the driver outputs are high impedance. VIH >= 2V, VIL <= 0.8V. |
| 4 | DI | input | Driver data input. When DI is low, A is driven high and B is driven low; when DI is high, A is low and B is high. VIH >= 2.8V, VIL <= 1.6V. |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Ground / power supply negative return for the device. |
| 6 | A | bidirectional | Non-inverting differential bus line. Serves as the receiver non-inverting input and the driver non-inverting output on the RS-485/RS-422 bus. Absolute max -0.5V to +15V; ESD ±4kV HBM. |
| 7 | B | bidirectional | Inverting differential bus line. Serves as the receiver inverting input and the driver inverting output on the RS-485/RS-422 bus. Absolute max -0.5V to +15V; ESD ±4kV HBM. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply input, nominally 5V. Absolute maximum 10V. Typical no-load supply current 1.1-1.2 mA. |
