ICL3225EIA

+-15kV ESD Protected, +3V to +5.5V, 1Microamp, 1Mbps, RS-232 Transceivers with Enhanced Automatic Powerdown The **ICL3225EIA** is a dual-channel RS-232 transceiver manufactured by **Intersil** (now part of Renesas Electronics). Below are its key specifications, descriptions, and features based on factual data:  

### **Specifications:**  
- **Supply Voltage:** 3.0V to 5.5V  
- **Data Rate:** Up to **250kbps**  
- **Operating Temperature Range:** **-40°C to +85°C**  
- **Number of Drivers/Receivers:** **2 Drivers, 2 Receivers**  
- **ESD Protection:** **±15kV (Human Body Model)**  
- **Package Type:** **16-pin SOIC (Small Outline IC)**  
- **Compliance:** Meets **EIA/TIA-232-F** standards  

### **Description:**  
The **ICL3225EIA** is a low-power, dual-channel RS-232 transceiver designed for **3V to 5.5V** systems. It integrates charge-pump circuitry to generate RS-232 voltage levels (±5V to ±10V) from a single supply, eliminating the need for external power supplies.  

### **Features:**  
- **Low Power Consumption:**  
  - **1μA** shutdown current  
  - **1mA** operating supply current (typical)  
- **Auto-Powerdown Feature:** Reduces power when no valid signal is detected  
- **Enhanced ESD Protection:** Protects against electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to **±15kV**  
- **Small Footprint:** Available in a **16-pin SOIC** package for space-constrained applications  
- **Wide Supply Range:** Supports **3V to 5.5V** operation  
- **Compatible with 3V/5V Logic:** Interfaces seamlessly with **TTL/CMOS** logic levels  

This information is strictly based on the manufacturer's datasheet and technical documentation.
