Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Low-power RS-232 transceiver with dual drivers and dual receivers operating from 3-5.5V supplies. Features ±15kV ESD protection, 250kbps guaranteed data rate, and 300µA supply current. Requires four external 0.1µF capacitors for operation. Suitable for battery-powered portable devices, notebooks, and peripherals.
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.
