RENICL3232EIBNZ-T
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
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To implement this part, connect four 0.1uF capacitors to the internal charge pump pins as specified in the datasheet. Ensure the 16-SOIC footprint has adequate clearance for the RS-232 voltage levels, which can reach +/-15V on the bus side.
