HIN202ECBZ

Overview

The HIN202ECBZ is a dual driver and dual receiver RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It operates on a single +5V power supply, utilizing onboard charge pumps to generate the necessary positive and negative voltages for RS-232 signaling. The device supports data rates up to 230 kb/s and features ±15kV ESD protection on transmitter outputs and receiver inputs. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and draws 15 mA of operating current. The component is housed in a 16-pin SOIC-Wide package.

Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump eliminates the need for external dual-voltage supplies
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV on I/O pins
• High-speed operation suitable for ISDN and modem applications
• Receiver inputs include hysteresis for improved noise rejection

Applications

• Portable computers and laptops requiring high-speed serial communication
• ISDN terminal adaptors and high-speed modems
• Industrial instrumentation and UPS systems
• Printers and terminals with RS-232 interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CBZ' against official Renesas documentation to confirm exact packaging and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the ordering information matches the required RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor databases to confirm current availability and standard lead times before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single +5V supply is available instead of traditional ±12V sources. It is appropriate for designs requiring high-speed data transmission up to 230 kb/s. The built-in ESD protection makes it suitable for environments with static discharge risks. Verify that the 16-pin SOIC-Wide package fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN202E family of RS-232 interface circuits from Renesas (formerly Intersil). The family includes variants like HIN206E and HIN232E, which offer different driver/receiver counts or shutdown modes. The HIN202ECBZ specifically provides two drivers and two receivers without a shutdown feature, focusing on standard full-duplex communication.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include HIN202EIBZ and HIN202EIBZ-T. Other compatible devices may include the MAX3232E or SP232E series, though pinouts and capacitor requirements should be verified. Ensure any replacement maintains the ±15kV ESD rating and 230 kb/s data rate capability.
