RS-232 transceiver with 3 drivers, 5 receivers
The 500 mV receiver hysteresis provides noise margin for RS-232 links running over longer cables or in electrically noisy environments, reducing the risk of bit errors from coupled interference.
Commercial temperature range and surface-mount footprint
The 20-SSOP (0.209", 5.30mm width) package uses a surface-mount footprint with 0.65 mm pitch, which routes easily on a two-layer board for most RS-232 port applications.
