ICL3221EIVZ-T7A

RENESAS · RS232 ICs · TSSOP-16

ICL3221EIVZ-T7A from RENESAS, in a TSSOP-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 EN input Active-low receiver enable control, TTL/CMOS compatible input (logic low max 0.8V).
2 C1+ passive External capacitor (voltage doubler) is connected to this lead.
3 V+ power_out Internally generated positive transmitter supply (+5.5V).
4 C1- passive External capacitor (voltage doubler) is connected to this lead.
5 C2+ passive External capacitor (voltage inverter) is connected to this lead.
6 C2- passive External capacitor (voltage inverter) is connected to this lead.
7 V- power_out Internally generated negative transmitter supply (-5.5V).
8 R1IN input ±15kV ESD protected RS-232 compatible receiver input with 5kΩ input resistance.
9 R1OUT output TTL/CMOS level receiver output.
10 INVALID output Active-low output that indicates no valid RS-232 levels are present on any receiver input.
11 T1IN input TTL/CMOS compatible transmitter input.
12 FORCEON input Active-high input to override automatic power-down circuitry, keeping transmitters active (FORCEOFF must be high).
13 T1OUT output ±15kV ESD protected RS-232 level (nominally ±5.5V) transmitter output.
14 GND power_in Ground connection.
15 VCC power_in System power supply input (3.0V to 5.5V).
16 FORCEOFF input Active low to shut down transmitters and on-chip power supply, overriding automatic circuitry and FORCEON.
