It features low power consumption, wide operational voltage range, and high data rate capability. It is popular for use in industrial and consumer electronics applications, providing reliable and efficient communication between devices.

• Equivalent

  The equivalent products of ICL232CPE chip are the MAX232CPE, SP232CPE, and ST232CPE. These chips are all dual RS-232 transceiver chips with similar features and functionality.

• Features

  1. RS-232 transceiver with 5V supply and 0.1μF charge pump capacitors 2. Low power consumption, requires only single +5V supply 3. Operates from a single +5V power supply 4. Dynamic transmitter hold-off (THOT) eliminates the need for external capacitors 5. Can drive 3kΩ in a ±5V RS-232 configuration

• Pinout

  The ICL232CPE is a dual RS-232 driver/receiver with a pin count of 16. It is designed to convert RS-232 signals to TTL/CMOS levels and vice versa. The chip includes charge pump voltage converters that allow RS-232 levels to be converted to TTL/CMOS levels with only four external 0.1µF capacitors.

• Manufacturer

  The ICL232CPE is manufactured by Maxim Integrated. Maxim Integrated is a multinational semiconductor company specializing in the design, manufacture, and marketing of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. The company offers a wide range of products for various industries, including automotive, communications, consumer, and industrial markets.

• Application Field

  The ICL232CPE is commonly used in industrial automation, automotive applications, telecommunications, and computer peripheral interfaces. It is also suitable for battery powered systems and portable computers, as well as other applications requiring minimum external components due to its low power consumption and small packaging size.

• Package

  The ICL232CPE is a 16-pin DIP (Dual Inline Package) chip, which means it has two parallel rows of pins. The form of the chip is through-hole, which means the pins are inserted into holes on a circuit board for soldering. The size of the chip is standard for a 16-pin DIP package, which is approximately 0.3 inches in width and 0.7 inches in length.
