Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Full-duplex RS-232 transceiver with 2 drivers and 2 receivers, operating from 3.0V to 5.5V single supply. Features integrated charge pump for true RS-232 signal levels and high ESD protection (±15kV HBM). Designed for portable devices requiring minimal external capacitors and low power consumption.
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.
