Overview
The ST3485EBDR, produced by STMicroelectronics, is a 3.3 V powered, low-power transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication protocols. This device features a half-duplex configuration with one driver and one receiver, capable of transmitting and receiving data at a guaranteed rate of up to 12 Mbps. It is notable for its high level of protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD), withstanding ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 air discharge and ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge. The ST3485EBDR operates from a single 3.3 V supply without the need for a charge pump and is interoperable with 5 V logic. It is available in a small SO8 package and includes an automotive grade option (ST3485EIY) that meets AEC-Q100 standards.
