Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Dual-channel RS-232 transceiver with integrated charge pump for single 3.0V-5.5V supply operation. Contains two drivers and two receivers meeting TIA/EIA-232-F standards, supporting data rates up to 250kbit/s with 30V/μs slew rate. Includes ±8kV ESD protection on I/O pins and requires four external 0.1μF capacitors.
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.
