Industry standard 75176 pinout
The ST3485EB/EC/EI/EIY device is ±15 kV ESD
protected, 3.3 V low power transceiver for RS-
485 and RS-422 communications. The device
contains one driver and one receiver in half
duplex configuration.
The ST3485E device transmits and receives at a
guaranteed data rate of at least 12 Mbps.
All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are
protected to ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 air discharge.
The driver is short-circuit current limited and is
protected against excessive power dissipation by
thermal shutdown circuitry that places the driver
outputs into a high impedance state.

Driver output enable. The driver outputs are enabled by bringing DE
high. They are high impedance when DE is low. If RE
