HIN206ECB-T

Overview

The HIN206ECB-T is a dual driver, dual receiver RS-232 transceiver from the Intersil HIN20xE family. It operates on a single +5V supply using onboard charge pumps to generate ±10V levels. The device meets EIA high-speed RS-232E and V.28 specifications with a data rate of 230 kbps. It features ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins, low power shutdown mode (typical 1µA), and TTL/CMOS compatible inputs. The package is SOIC-16.

Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump eliminates need for external ±12V supplies
• High-speed operation suitable for ISDN and modems
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection on all RS-232 pins
• Low power shutdown capability for battery applications

Applications

• ISDN terminal adapters
• High-speed modem interfaces
• Battery-powered portable equipment
• Computer peripheral connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CB-T' against official Renesas/Intersil documentation to confirm package width and tape-and-reel configuration. Ensure the component matches the required operating temperature range and RoHS compliance status for your specific manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a single +5V supply is available but ±12V is not. It is appropriate for designs requiring moderate speed (up to 230kbps) and robust ESD protection. Compare against HIN202E or HIN232E if different driver/receiver counts are needed.

Part Context

Part of the HIN20xE series designed to replace older RS-232 chips requiring dual polarity supplies. Manufactured by Intersil, now part of Renesas Electronics. The 'E' suffix typically denotes enhanced features like ESD protection compared to non-E variants.

Replacement Considerations

HIN202EIB-T: Different pinout and driver count. MAX232CPE: Lower speed, no ESD protection. SP3232EE: Similar functionality from Maxim Integrated.
