Overview

The ICL3232EIBNZ-T is a low-power, dual-channel RS-232 transceiver designed for 3V to 5.5V systems. It features high ESD protection and utilizes a dual charge pump to maintain RS-232 output levels while operating from a single low-voltage supply.

Why Choose This Part

This transceiver offers a wide 3V to 5.5V supply range and a significant 500mV receiver hysteresis for improved noise immunity. It is highly efficient, drawing only 1.0mA of supply current during normal operation and dropping to 1uA in power-down mode.

Applications

Industrial Control Systems
Provides reliable serial communication between PLCs and peripheral sensors or human-machine interfaces.
Embedded System Debugging
Acts as a level shifter between microcontroller UART logic and legacy serial COM ports on industrial PCs.
Battery-Powered Instruments
Utilizes a 1uA shutdown mode to preserve battery life in handheld diagnostic equipment.
Networking Equipment
Serves as the physical layer for console ports in routers and switches requiring 250kbps data rates.
