IC RS-485 TRANSCEIVER 16-SOIC


Bypass caps, pull-ups, strapping resistors, custom silkscreen & more
Design a Custom BoardQuadruple differential line transceiver for RS-485/RS-422 communication. Integrates four independent transceivers in a 16-SOIC package, supporting full-duplex or half-duplex serial data transmission over twisted-pair cables. Ideal for industrial automation, building systems, and multi-node serial networks requiring robust noise immunity.
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.
