Product Overview
ADM3485ARZ-REEL7 is a 3.3 V low-power half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver for two-wire differential buses. The ADM3485 variant supports up to 10 Mbps and provides separate driver and receiver enable controls.
This part must not be conflated with ADM3485E. The non-E ADM3485 is specified at 10 Mbps; the E-suffixed family has different published speed and ESD characteristics. Exact suffix recognition is therefore important during replacement qualification.

Key Features
- 3.3 V half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 physical layer.
- 10 Mbps data-rate capability.
- Up to 32 transceivers on the bus.
- −7 V to +12 V bus common-mode range.
Functional Highlights
The 3.3 V supply and 5 V logic interoperability can simplify mixed-voltage logic domains, but bus common-mode limits still need system-level verification.
Do not transfer the ADM3485E ±15 kV ESD and 12 Mbps specifications to this non-E exact part.
Application Fit
- Low-power RS-485/RS-422 interfaces.
- Telecommunications serial links.
- Industrial process-control networks.
- HVAC control communication.
Design Considerations
- Terminate the bus for the selected cable impedance and limit stubs for 10 Mbps operation.
- Manage DE and /RE timing during half-duplex direction changes.
- Check common-mode range against expected ground offsets.
- Use ADM3485 exact-family values rather than ADM3485E values.
