small Dual UART needed

small Dual UART needed

small Dual UART needed

(OP)
Does anyone know where I can find a Dual UART with less than 28 Pins? No special Package requirements...

RE: small Dual UART needed

OK, why does it need to be less than 28 pins?

RE: small Dual UART needed

(OP)
I'm redesigning a pcb and I've got not enough space for a big device. I know there are some devices available in qfp-packages, but the UART is only optional and should be removeable therefore a socket is needed...

RE: small Dual UART needed

Well, a TQFP is just as removable as a DIP.  Use a socket.

Thank You for your fast reply,

but a TQFP socket would be more expensive than the UART IC itself and it takes nerly as much space as an PLCC socket. We finaly have decided to use a Dual UART in 44Pin PLCC. The socket is cheaper, has nearly the same dimensions and is easier to handle in production. But sometimes it seems to me that nowadays the price is all that matters...

Bye
