What are the key features of ST3485ECDR?

  • 3 V to 3.6 V supply range with 1.5 V minimum differential output swing ensures reliable bus signaling in 3.3 V systems without level shifting
  • Differential Schmitt trigger receiver input provides superior noise immunity for long-cable RS-485 networks up to 1200 m
  • EIA-422 and EIA-485 dual-standard compliance in a single SOIC-8 device simplifies multi-protocol industrial wiring designs

What is ST3485ECDR used for?

The ST3485ECDR is designed for industrial RS-485 multi-drop networks connecting PLCs, sensors, and actuators over distances up to 1200 m at data rates up to 10 Mbps. Its 3.3 V supply compatibility makes it a natural fit for microcontroller-based gateway designs where 5 V tolerance is not available. The half-duplex operation suits cost-sensitive fieldbus topologies such as Modbus RTU, DMX512, and PROFIBUS DP where a single differential pair is shared among multiple nodes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What supply voltage does ST3485ECDR require, and can it interface directly with 3.3 V microcontrollers?

The ST3485ECDR operates from a 3 V to 3.6 V supply, making it directly compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller logic without any level-shifting circuitry. Its logic input thresholds and output levels are aligned with 3.3 V CMOS standards, enabling direct UART-to-RS-485 connections in embedded systems built around 32-bit ARM or similar 3.3 V MCUs.

How far and how fast can an RS-485 network using ST3485ECDR reliably transmit data?

The ST3485ECDR supports data rates up to 10 Mbps for short cable runs, with the cable length inversely scaling with bit rate; at 100 kbps the network can extend up to 1200 m using 120 Ω termination. The differential Schmitt trigger receiver adds noise rejection that maintains signal integrity in electrically noisy industrial environments where common-mode interference can reach ±7 V.

Which industrial protocol applications are best served by the half-duplex architecture of ST3485ECDR?

The half-duplex single differential-pair architecture of the ST3485ECDR directly matches the bus topology used by Modbus RTU, DMX512 lighting control, BACnet MS/TP, and PROFIBUS DP protocols, all of which operate over a shared 2-wire RS-485 bus. These protocols account for the majority of industrial sensor networks and building automation systems, making the ST3485ECDR suitable for up to 32 unit-load nodes without bus repeaters.

How does ST3485ECDR compare to the SN65HVD485 in a 3.3 V RS-485 application?

Both the ST3485ECDR and the SN65HVD485 target 3.3 V RS-485 applications in an SOIC-8 package with similar 10 Mbps data rate capability, but the ST3485ECDR specifies a tighter 3 V to 3.6 V supply range compared to the SN65HVD485 which accepts 3 V to 3.6 V as well; key differentiators are driver propagation delay and ESD protection ratings. Engineers can use either part as a pin-compatible alternative in Modbus or fieldbus designs where 8-pin SOIC footprints are standardized on the PCB.
