Typical Application

The ICL32xx interface ICs operate from a single +3V to +5.5V supply, ensure a 250kbps minimum data rate, require only four small external 0.1μF capacitors, feature low-power consumption, and meet all ElA RS-232C and V.28 specifications. The circuit is divided into three sections:

  • Charge-pump
  • Transmitters
  • Receivers
