The ICL232IBEBI is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a 5V-powered, dual RS-232 transceiver specifically designed for UART, microcontroller, and PC serial communication applications. Below is an overview and key features of the ICL232IBEBI:
1. Overview:
The ICL232IBEBI is a compact and reliable solution for bi-directional, digital communication between devices using RS-232 voltage levels. It operates on a 5V supply and can withstand harsh industrial environments due to its integrated protection features. It comes in a compact SOIC-16 package.
2. Dual Transceiver:
The IC provides two independent transceivers, each capable of converting TTL/CMOS logic levels to RS-232 voltage levels, and vice versa. This enables simultaneous communication with two separate devices through a single IC.
3. RS-232 Compatible:
The ICL232IBEBI fully complies with the RS-232 standard, making it compatible with a wide range of devices utilizing this interface. It supports data rates up to 120 kbps, making it suitable for high-speed communication applications.
4. Integrated Charge Pumps:
The IC incorporates on-chip charge pumps that generate the necessary RS-232 voltage levels (-10V to +10V) from a single 5V supply, eliminating the need for external voltage regulators. This simplifies the design and reduces component count
