Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Enhanced RS-232 line driver/receiver IC operating from single +5V supply. Meets RS-232F and ITU V.28 specifications with 120kbps data rate under load. Features low-power BiCMOS design, +/-2kV ESD protection, and operates with small 0.1µF ceramic capacitors. Suitable for commercial serial communication applications requiring robust protocol compliance.
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.
