SP485EEN-L/TR

SP485EEN-L/TR is the tape-and-reel code for the MaxLinear SP485E enhanced low-power RS-485/RS-422 transceiver in an 8-pin NSOIC package, listed in the ordering table of the official SP481E/SP485E datasheet (Rev 1.0.6); the tube code is SP485EEN-L. It runs from a single 5 V supply, drives half-duplex links up to 10 Mbps over a -7 V to +12 V common-mode range with up to 32 nodes on the bus, and the E grade adds ±15 kV HBM ESD protection on the bus pins for cables that leave the cabinet. For industrial controls, metering and building automation this gives a pin-standard 485 interface that survives exposed field wiring and supports long production runs on reel-fed assembly lines. Selection advice: the E suffix denotes the enhanced-ESD variant, so do not treat base SP485 codes as electrical equivalents when the design relies on the ±15 kV rating, and check receiver failsafe behaviour and driver-enable polarity against the SP481E sibling in the same datasheet before locking the BOM.
