Renesas Electronics Corporation Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers ICL3224EIA-T

The ICL3224EIA-T is an RS-232 transceiver designed for operation within a voltage range of +3V to +5.5V, making it suitable for various battery-powered and portable applications. It features ±15kV ESD protection on its I/O pins, ensuring robust performance in environments prone to electrical surges. The device supports data rates up to 250kbps and complies with EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 specifications, even at lower voltages of 3V. This transceiver incorporates an enhanced automatic powerdown function, which reduces supply current to just 1µA when inactive, thus conserving battery life. It requires only four external 0.1µF capacitors for operation, contributing to a compact design. The ICL3224EIA-T is compatible with both 3.3V and 5.0V systems, making it versatile for integration into various electronic devices, including laptops, modems, and digital cameras.
