HIN202ECB-T

Overview

The HIN202ECB-T is an RS-232 transceiver integrated circuit manufactured by Intersil, now part of Renesas Electronics. It supports a data rate of 120 kb/s and features one driver and two receivers. The device operates on a single +5V power supply with a voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It is housed in a 16-SOIC-Wide package and is designed for surface mount installation. The component functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and draws a typical operating current of 15 mA.

Feature Summary

• Single +5V power supply operation with onboard charge pump voltage converters generating required internal voltages
• Compliance with EIA high-speed RS-232E and V.28 specifications for reliable serial communication
• True TTL/CMOS input compatibility with slew-rate-limited outputs to minimize signal reflections

Applications

• ISDN systems requiring high-speed RS-232 communication ports
• High-speed modem interfaces
• Portable computers, mainframes, and laptop peripherals such as printers and terminals
• Instrumentation and UPS equipment with serial control requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics, as variations exist within the HIN202 family. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documents matching the Intersil or Renesas branding. Cross-reference the date code to assess component age and storage history.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single +5V supply is available and ±12V rails are not present. Choose the HIN202ECB-T variant specifically for its 120 kb/s data rate capability and commercial temperature range. Verify that the SOIC-Wide package dimensions fit the target PCB footprint. Consider the HIN202EIB-T series if extended industrial temperature ranges or higher data rates are required instead.

Part Context

This component belongs to the HIN202E family of RS-232 transmitters and receivers. The family is characterized by redesigned transmitter circuits that improve data rates and slew rates compared to earlier generations. These devices eliminate the need for external negative voltage supplies by using onboard charge pumps. The HIN202ECB-T represents the commercial grade version within this lineup.
