HIN202EIBN-T

Overview

The HIN202EIBN-T is an RS-232 transceiver integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, formerly Intersil. It complies with EIA high-speed RS-232E and V.28 specifications, designed for systems requiring high-speed communication such as ISDN and modems. The device features two drivers and two receivers, operating on a single +5V power supply with onboard charge pump converters generating ±10V. Key electrical parameters include a data rate of 230 kbps, a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, and ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins. It utilizes a 16-SOIC narrow package (SOIC-N) and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• High-speed performance with redesigned transmitter circuits supporting data rates up to 230 kbps for ISDN compatibility
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV on transmitter outputs and receiver inputs per IEC61000 standards
• Simplified power architecture utilizing a single +5V supply with integrated charge pump voltage converters
• Low power shutdown mode capability to conserve energy in battery-operated applications

Applications

• ISDN terminal adaptors and high-speed modem interfaces
• Portable computers, laptops, and mainframe peripheral connections
• Industrial instrumentation and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems
• Printers and serial terminals requiring robust RS-232 communication ports

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BN' against official Renesas documentation to confirm the package type corresponds to the SOIC Narrow variant. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact tape-and-reel quantity specified in the current datasheet revision. Cross-reference the manufacturer date code and lot traceability requirements with your quality assurance protocols before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require high-speed RS-232 communication without access to dual ±12V power rails. The HIN202EIBN-T is appropriate for applications needing full-duplex operation with two drivers and two receivers. Consider its ±15kV ESD protection for environments prone to static discharge. Verify that the 16-SOIC narrow footprint fits the PCB layout constraints and that the 230 kbps data rate meets the system's throughput requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN202E family of RS-232 transceivers from Renesas/Intersil. The family shares common architectural features like single-supply operation and onboard charge pumps but varies in driver/receiver counts and shutdown capabilities. The HIN202EIBN-T specifically denotes the version with two drivers and two receivers in a narrow SOIC package, distinguishing it from wider packages or other pin-compatible variants in the series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include HIN202EIBZ-T (wide SOIC package). For different configurations, consider HIN206EIBN-T (one driver/two receivers) or HIN207EIBN-T (two drivers/one receiver). Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before substituting.
