ICL3221, ICL3222, ICL3223, ICL3232, ICL3241, ICL3243
One Microamp Supply-Current, +3V to +5.5V, 250kbps, RS-232 Transmitters/Receivers
The ICL3221, ICL3222, ICL3223, ICL3232, ICL3241, ICL3243 (ISL32xx) devices are 3.0V to 5.5V powered RS-232 transmitters/receivers that meet ElA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 specifications, even at VCC = 3.0V. Targeted applications are PDAs, notebook, and laptop computers where the low operational power consumption and even lower standby power consumption are critical. Efficient on-chip charge pumps, coupled with manual and automatic power-down functions (except for the ICL3232), reduce the standby supply current to a 1µA trickle. Small footprint packaging, and the use of small, low value capacitors ensure board space savings as well.
