Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Single-channel RS-232 transceiver IC in 16-pin TSSOP package. Converts between TTL/CMOS logic levels and RS-232 signal levels for serial communication. Suitable for applications requiring legacy serial communication interfaces with minimal component count and space constraints.
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.
