RENICL3222EIVZ
Overview
The ICL3222EIVZ is a dual-channel RS-232 transceiver designed for 3V to 5.5V systems, offering robust 15kV ESD protection on the RS-232 I/O pins. It features an integrated charge pump that allows it to operate from a single supply using only four 0.1uF capacitors, making it ideal for space-constrained designs. The device also includes a 1uA low-power shutdown mode to preserve battery life in portable applications.
Why Choose This Part
This transceiver ensures a minimum data rate of 250kbps while providing 500mV of receiver hysteresis for superior noise immunity. It is a latch-up free, drop-in replacement for common industry standards like the MAX3222E, simplifying sourcing and hardware design.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To implement this part, connect four 0.1uF charge pump capacitors to the C1-C4 pins and pull the SHDN pin high for normal operation. Ensure the VCC supply is bypassed with a local decoupling capacitor and verify that the 20-TSSOP land pattern matches your PCB footprint.
