HIN206ECBZ-T

Overview

The HIN206ECBZ-T is a high-speed RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, belonging to the HIN206E family. It operates on a single +5V power supply with a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and consumes 15mA of operating current. The device features two drivers and two receivers, supporting full-duplex communication at data rates up to 230 kb/s. It utilizes onboard charge pumps to generate ±10V supplies from the 5V input, requiring only 0.1µF external capacitors. Packaged in a 16-pin SOIC-Narrow (SOIC-Wide) format for surface mount installation, it functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated onboard charge pump voltage converters that generate positive and negative supply rails from a single 5V source, eliminating the need for external dual-voltage supplies.
• High-speed transmitter circuit design optimized for improved data rates and slew rates, suitable for demanding serial communication applications.
• Receiver inputs equipped with hysteresis to significantly enhance noise rejection capabilities in electrically noisy environments.

Applications

• Portable computers, laptops, and mainframe systems requiring compact serial interfaces
• Peripheral connections such as printers and terminals
• Instrumentation equipment and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
• Modems and ISDN terminal adaptors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CBZ' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package dimensions and lead finish specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly to prevent package damage. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with current design standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single 5V supply is available but RS-232 voltage levels are required without bulky external transformers. The HIN206ECBZ-T is appropriate for designs needing two independent transmit and receive channels. Consider the 230 kb/s data rate limit for baud rate requirements. Verify that the 16-pin narrow SOIC footprint fits the PCB layout constraints compared to wider packages.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN206E family of RS-232 transmitters and receivers developed by Intersil and now managed by Renesas Electronics. The family shares common architecture features including ESD protection and low-power shutdown modes in specific variants. These devices were designed to replace older transceivers that required ±12V supplies, simplifying power management in modern portable electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the HIN202E, HIN207E, HIN208E, HIN211E, HIN213E, and HIN232E families. Verify pinout compatibility and channel configuration (driver/receiver count) before substitution. Check if the alternative variant offers different features such as shutdown modes or higher ESD ratings.
