INTERSIL RS232 Transceiver, DIP, 16-Pin

The INTERSIL RS232 Transceiver is a reliable integrated circuit designed for efficient serial communication. Supporting full-duplex communication, this transceiver is equipped with 2 receivers and 2 transmitters, making it an excellent choice for bidirectional data transfer in electronic systems and circuit design.

With a maximum data rate of 230Kbps, it ensures swift and stable transmission of information. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, offering versatility for various low-voltage applications.

Robust Protection and Design

Engineered for durability, the transceiver provides exceptional ESD protection, rated at ±8 kV for contact, ±15 kV for air gap, and ±15 kV for the human body model (HBM). This safeguards the component against electrostatic discharge during handling and operation.

Housed in a standard DIP (Dual In-line Package) with 16 pins, it is straightforward to integrate into breadboards and printed circuit boards. The component is designed to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 70°C. Its compact physical dimensions measure 43 mm in height, 33 mm in width, and 15 mm in depth, with a lightweight profile of just 0.001 grams.

This transceiver is a dependable solution for engineers and hobbyists requiring efficient RS232 level shifting and robust communication capabilities.
