Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Dual-channel RS-232 line driver and receiver IC for asynchronous serial communication. Operates from 3V to 5.5V single supply with integrated charge pump, supporting data rates up to 1 Mbit/s. Includes ±15kV ESD protection on serial pins and requires only four 0.1µF external capacitors, making it ideal for industrial PCs, networking equipment, and portable devices.
Package: SOIC-16 (3.9×9.9mm) · 16 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 1.27mm pin pitch on this 16-pin package makes hand-soldering impractical and breadboard mounting impossible. A breakout board brings the pins to standard 2.54mm spacing, enabling quick prototyping of RS-232/RS-485 transceivers, ADCs, and line drivers without requiring surface-mount soldering skills or PCB fabrication.
