ICL3223EIVZ-T7A

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The ICL3223EIVZ-T7A is a low-power RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It integrates two drivers and two receivers in a single package, supporting full-duplex communication with data rates up to 250 kb/s. The device operates from a single 3 V to 5.5 V supply and features automatic power-down mode, reducing operating supply current to typically 1 µA. It includes 15 kV ESD protection on all pins and is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package. The component supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates dual drivers and dual receivers for full-duplex RS-232 communication
• Features automatic power-down mode to minimize standby power consumption
• Provides robust 15 kV ESD protection across all signal pins

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable serial communication
• Portable battery-powered equipment utilizing low-voltage operation
• Data acquisition systems interfacing with PC or terminal devices

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix T7A indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure moisture sensitivity level handling procedures are followed during assembly to maintain component integrity.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring dual-channel RS-232 connectivity with minimal quiescent current. Compare against similar models like ICL3223EIVZ if reel packaging is not required. Verify that the 250 kb/s speed meets system timing requirements and that the TSSOP-20 footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the ICL322x series of RS-232 transceivers from Renesas. It shares functional similarities with other members like the ICL3221 and ICL3223 variants but differs in pin count and driver/receiver configuration. The series is known for compatibility with standard RS-232 voltage levels while operating at lower supply voltages.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

ICL3223EIVZ is a compatible alternative offering identical electrical specifications but in cut-tape or tray packaging rather than the T7A reel format.
