30Mbps differential bus transceiver in a through-hole DIP
The ADM1485JNZ is a half-duplex RS422/RS485 transceiver from Analog Devices that pushes 30 Mbps across a differential pair — fast enough for high-speed fieldbus backbones or multi-drop sensor arrays where the bus timing budget is tight.
Through-hole package and board-fit reality
Housed in an 8-pin DIP (0.300-inch body width, 7.62 mm pitch), the ADM1485JNZ is a through-hole part — it goes into a socket or solders directly into plated through-holes on a standard 0.100-inch grid prototype board or production PCB. The DIP footprint is rework-friendly: a hand-soldering iron or desoldering station handles it without hot-air gear, which matters for a repair bench or a low-volume build where surface-mount reflow is not available.
