Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver operating from single 3.3V supply with guaranteed 12Mbps data rate. Features ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins, fail-safe receiver, and thermal shutdown protection. Suitable for industrial networks, telecommunications, and EMI-sensitive applications requiring robust serial communication.
Package: SOIC-8 (3.9×4.9mm) · 8 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
An 8-pin SOIC with 1.27mm pitch is too fine for breadboards and hand-soldering without a microscope. A breakout board routes these pins to standard 0.1" headers, enabling rapid prototyping and reliable connections for op-amps, transceivers, and small power MOSFETs without requiring reflow equipment.
