Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Full-duplex RS-232 transceiver with two drivers and two receivers in a 16-pin TSSOP package. Operates from single 3-5V supply with integrated charge pump for generating ±10V levels. Ideal for serial communication interfaces in embedded systems, microcontroller applications, and legacy RS-232 device connectivity.
Package: TSSOP-16 (4.4×5mm) · 16 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 0.65mm pitch makes hand soldering difficult and error-prone; a breakout board lets you solder standard headers instead. This package hosts precision analog and mixed-signal ICs like DACs and ADCs that benefit from clean PCB layouts and decoupling placement. Prototyping becomes faster with breadboard-compatible pin headers, eliminating the need for a custom carrier PCB.
