ICL3232EIV-16Z-T7A

Overview

The ICL3232EIV-16Z-T7A is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It integrates two drivers and two receivers within a single integrated circuit, supporting data rates up to 250 kbps. The device operates on a single power supply ranging from 3V to 5.5V and draws a typical operating supply current of 1 mA. It features ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on all pins. The component is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package with a width of 4.40mm and is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual drivers and dual receivers for complete full-duplex RS-232 communication capabilities.
• Provides robust ±15kV ESD protection across all input and output pins to enhance system reliability.
• Operates efficiently with low power consumption, featuring a typical supply current of 1 mA.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable serial communication interfaces.
• Point-of-sale (POS) terminals and barcode scanners utilizing RS-232 protocols.
• Medical equipment needing isolated serial data transmission channels.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T7A' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the voltage grade 'EIV' matches the intended operational environment specifications. Ensure compatibility with the 16-TSSOP footprint during PCB layout finalization before placing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a full-duplex RS-232 solution is required with high ESD immunity. It is suitable for designs needing low standby current and operation within standard industrial temperature ranges. Compare against other ICL3232 variants if different packaging options or extended temperature ratings are necessary for the specific application constraints.
