LICAL-TRC-MT

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Overview

The LICAL-TRC-MT is an MT Series transcoder from TE Connectivity Linx Technologies, designed for remote control signal conversion. It operates as a single CMOS circuit encoder/decoder with 8 input and 8 output lines. The device supports 24-bit data processing within a compact SSOP-20 surface-mount package. It functions reliably across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and accepts a supply voltage between 2VDC and 5.5VDC.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix (e.g., TR) against the datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging versus bulk quantities. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with TE Connectivity or authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region and production batch.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated hardware solution for protocol translation is required without microcontroller overhead. Ensure the operating voltage range aligns with the system power supply. Consider the SSOP-20 footprint constraints during PCB layout design to ensure adequate thermal dissipation and signal integrity.
