ICL3222EIVZT

The ICL3222EIVZT belongs to intersil ICL32xxE devices which are 3.0V to 5.5V powered RS-232 transmitters/receivers which meet ElA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 specifications, even at VCC=3.0V. Additionally, they provide ±15kV ESD protection (IEC61000-4-2 Air Gap and Human Body Model) on transmitter outputs and receiver inputs (RS-232 pins). These devices power up again when a valid RS-232 voltage is applied to any receiver input. Efficient on-chip charge pumps, coupled with manual and automatic powerdown functions (except for the ICL3232E), reduce the standby supply current to a 1A trickle. Targeted applications are PDAs, Palmtops, and notebook and laptop computers where the low operational, and even lower standby, power consumption is critical. The ICL3221E, ICL3223E and ICL3243E, feature an automatic powerdown function of the ICL3222EIVZT which powers down the on-chip power-supply and driver circuits. This occurs when an attached peripheral device is shut off or the RS-232 cable is removed, conserving system power automatically without changes to the hardware or operating system. Small footprint packaging, and the use of small, low value capacitors ensure board space savings as well. Data rates greater than 250kbps are guaranteed at worst case load conditions. This family is fully compatible with 3.3V-only systems, mixed 3.3V and 5.0V systems, and 5.0V-only systems. The ICL324XE are 3-driver, 5-receiver devices that provide a complete serial port suitable for laptop or notebook computers. Both devices also include noninverting always-active receivers for "wake-up" capability.
