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 EIA/TIA-232-F compliance, ±15kV ESD protection, and minimal external capacitors (0.1µF). Ideal for portable applications like notebooks and handheld devices requiring low-power serial communication.
Package: SSOP-16 (5.3×6.2mm) · 16 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
Hand-soldering 0.65mm pitch SMD requires precision tools and steady hands; this breakout board lets you prototype with this 16-pin logic IC using standard headers and breadboards. Ideal for I2C I/O expanders, logic gates, and RS485 drivers where the tiny lead spacing makes direct soldering impractical for development work.
