Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Dual-channel RS-232 transceiver with integrated charge pump supporting 3.0V to 5.5V operation from single supply. Meets EIA/TIA-232-F standards with 120kbps minimum data rate and exceptional ±15kV ESD protection. Ideal for portable/handheld devices requiring low-cost serial communication interfaces.
Package: SOIC-16W (7.5mm wide) · 16 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
SOIC-16W uses 1.27mm pitch and surface-mount construction, making it difficult to hand-solder and incompatible with breadboards. A breakout board converts the 16 pins to through-hole connectors, enabling direct breadboarding and eliminating soldering risk during prototyping of real-time clocks, transceivers, flash memory, and gate-drive optocouplers.
