Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Half-duplex RS-485 transceiver in SOT-23-8 package enabling robust serial communication over twisted-pair cabling. Operates from single 5V supply with integrated driver and receiver for long-distance industrial and networking applications. Features low quiescent current and thermal shutdown protection.
Package: SOT-23-8 · 8 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 0.95mm pin pitch and compact footprint make hand-soldering extremely difficult and breadboard incompatible. A breakout board brings all eight pins to standard headers, enabling reliable prototyping of precision analog ICs like DACs, op-amps, and current-sense amplifiers without specialized soldering equipment.
