The ICL3232EIBNZ-T is a RS-232 Interface IC manufactured by Renesas, specifically designed to meet the needs of ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive applications. This IC has a HI-ESD of 15KV, making it one of the highest ESD-rated RS-232 products available. With its integrated 2 Driver (2D) and 2 Receiver (2R) technology, it is capable of data rates up to 16 Mbps, and provides up to 16 individually isolated outputs. The RS-232 signal conditioning circuitry ensures high noise immunity, and the voltage tolerant inputs allow for use in 3.3V and 5V environments. The ICL3232EIBNZ-T is designed for use in industrial level applications such as robotics, modems and instrumentation.
