ICL3224IAZ-T

Overview

The ICL3224IAZ-T is an RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Renesas Electronics, operating within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V and supporting standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels. It features one driver and two receivers with a maximum data rate of 500 kb/s. The device operates from -40°C to +85°C and draws 1 mA of quiescent current. Packaged in SSOP-20 for surface mount applications, it includes ESD protection and meets RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Supports single-ended receiver signal types for RS-232 communication
• Includes integrated electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection mechanisms
• Designed for industrial temperature operation ranges

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring RS-232 connectivity
• Embedded devices utilizing low-power serial interfaces
• Equipment needing robust ESD protection on communication lines

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm package integrity and moisture sensitivity handling requirements prior to assembly. Check for specific annealing process documentation if required by design specifications. Ensure compliance with current environmental regulations such as RoHS directives before procurement finalization.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-driver, dual-receiver RS-232 interface is required with low power consumption. Verify that the SSOP-20 package fits the PCB layout constraints. Ensure the system operates within the specified 3 V to 5.5 V range and requires data rates up to 500 kb/s. Consider thermal management for the -40°C to +85°C operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ICL3224 series of RS-232 transceivers from Renesas/Intersil. It is designed for general-purpose serial communication applications. The 'T' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging. It is distinct from other series members like ICL3221 or ICL3207 based on driver/receiver count and pin configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the ICL32xxE family or equivalent RS-232 transceivers with matching pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify compatibility with existing circuit designs regarding voltage levels and data rates.
