HIN202ECBN

Overview

The HIN202ECBN is a dual driver, dual receiver RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Intersil. It operates on a single +5V supply and includes onboard charge pumps to generate the required positive and negative voltages for RS-232 signaling. The device supports data rates up to 230 kb/s and features ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins. It complies with EIA high-speed RS-232E and V.28 specifications. The component is housed in a 16-pin SOIC-Narrow package and is designed for industrial commercial temperature ranges.

Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump voltage converters eliminate the need for external dual power supplies.
• High electrostatic discharge protection ensures robustness against ±15kV events on RS-232 I/O pins.
• True TTL/CMOS input compatibility allows direct interfacing with standard logic families.
• Receiver inputs feature hysteresis to significantly improve noise rejection capabilities.

Applications

• ISDN terminal equipment communication interfaces
• High-speed modem connections
• Industrial control system serial ports

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CBN' against official Renesas or Intersil documentation to confirm the exact package variant and temperature grade. Ensure the ordering information matches the required RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel RS-232 interface is required within a narrow surface-mount footprint. It is suitable for designs limited to a single +5V power rail where internal voltage generation is preferred over external charge pump circuits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN202E family of RS-232 transmitters and receivers. The family shares common architectural features such as the redesigned transmitter circuit for improved slew rates and the use of onboard charge pumps. Variations within the family typically differ by driver/receiver count and package type.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other members of the HIN202E series with compatible pinouts. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same ±15kV ESD protection rating and support the required 230 kb/s data rate for equivalent performance.
