HIN202EIB-T

Overview

The Intersil HIN202EIB-T is a dual driver and dual receiver RS-232 transceiver integrated circuit designed for high-speed communication applications. It operates on a single +5V power supply, utilizing onboard charge pump voltage converters to generate the necessary ±10V levels without external ±12V supplies. The device supports data rates up to 230 kbps, complying with EIA RS-232E and V.28 specifications. It features ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on transmitter outputs and receiver inputs, ensuring robustness in industrial environments. The component is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump eliminates need for external ±12V power supplies
• High-speed ISDN compatible performance up to 230 kbps
• Robust ±15kV ESD protection on all RS-232 I/O pins
• Low power shutdown mode for energy conservation

Applications

• ISDN terminal adapters requiring high-speed serial communication
• High-speed modem interfaces in computer systems
• Industrial instrumentation with RS-232 connectivity
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) management ports

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Renesas or Intersil documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package style and temperature grade. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate ESD protection ratings and compliance with current RS-232 standards before integration into design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems limited to a single +5V supply rail. It is suitable for applications demanding higher data rates than standard RS-232 devices, specifically those interfacing with ISDN equipment. Consider the 16-pin SOIC footprint constraints and verify that the ±15kV ESD rating meets the environmental requirements of the target deployment zone.

Part Context

The HIN202 series belongs to the broader family of Intersil RS-232 transceivers, which also includes variants like the HIN206E and HIN213E. These devices share common architectural features such as onboard voltage conversion and TTL/CMOS input compatibility. The HIN202EIB-T specifically denotes the dual-driver/dual-receiver configuration within this lineage, optimized for general-purpose high-speed serial links.

Replacement Considerations

The Maxim Integrated MAX202ECWE+T serves as a functional equivalent offering similar 2-driver/2-receiver capabilities and 16-SOIC packaging. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and ensure the replacement maintains the required 230 kbps data rate and ±15kV ESD protection levels for direct substitution.
