Technical Details & Description

RS-232 link in a 16-TSSOP footprint

It shifts data at up to 250 kbps, which covers most legacy UART links and industrial serial ports without needing a faster part.

Rated for 3V to 5.5V supply, this transceiver works on both 3.3V and 5V rails — no external level translator needed when the MCU side is 3.3V and the RS-232 bus is 5V. The 500 mV receiver hysteresis rejects noise on long cable runs better than the 200 mV typical of older MAX3221-class parts. The 16-TSSOP package keeps the PCB footprint small — 4.40 mm body width — which matters when routing multiple serial channels on a dense board.

Supply is steady through the franchised channel; the Tape & Reel option suits volume pick-and-place, while Cut Tape is available for prototype runs.

Frequently asked questions

Does ICL3221EIVZ-T replace MAX3221?

The ICL3221EIVZ-T is a functional equivalent to the MAX3221 family: same 1/1 driver/receiver count, same 250 kbps data rate, same 3V to 5.5V supply range, and same 16-TSSOP footprint. The 500 mV receiver hysteresis on the Renesas part gives better noise margin on long cables compared to the 200 mV typical on the MAX3221. Pin compatibility should be verified against your layout.

What is the closest second-source to ICL3221EIVZ-T?

The ICL3221EIAZ-T is the same Renesas RS-232 transceiver in a 16-SSOP package rather than 16-TSSOP. All other key specs — 1/1 drivers, 250 kbps, 3V to 5.5V supply, 500 mV hysteresis, -40°C to 85°C — are identical. The package change requires a different PCB footprint; the electrical BOM fit is otherwise a direct swap.
