The MB3223I from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, feature-rich integrated circuit designed to deliver top-notch functionality and efficiency in various applications.

• Function: Robust, dual-driver/receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply TIA/EIA-232-F voltage levels from a single 5-V supply.
• Receiver Conversion: Each receiver converts TIA/EIA-232-F inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS levels.
• Receiver Characteristics: These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V, a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V, and can accept ±30-V inputs.
• Driver Conversion: Each driver converts TTL/CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels.
• Data Rate: High data rate, which can go up to 250 kbps.
• ESD Protection: Enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, which is up to ±15 kV using the Human Body Model (HBM).
• Power Consumption: Operates on a single 5V power supply.
• Standby Current: Low standby current.
• Thermal Performance: Excellent thermal performance, thanks to its wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
• Package: Available in a 20-pin SSOP package, which is compact and space-saving.
