HIN206EIB

Overview

The HIN206EIB is a high-speed RS-232 transceiver from the Intersil HIN20xE family, designed for single +5V power supply operation. It integrates onboard charge pump voltage converters to generate +10V and -10V supplies, eliminating the need for external ±12V rails. The device features one driver and three receivers with a data rate of 230 kb/s. It offers ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins, meets RS-232E/V.28 specifications, and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C in an SOIC-24 package.

Feature Summary

• Single +5V power supply operation with integrated onboard charge pump voltage converters generating internal +10V and -10V rails
• High-speed ISDN compatible performance with a data rate of 230 kbits/s and improved slew rates
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV on transmitter outputs and receiver inputs per IEC61000 standards
• Low power shutdown mode capability to conserve energy in battery-powered applications

Applications

• ISDN and high-speed modem communications ports
• Portable computers, laptops, and mainframe peripheral connections
• Instrumentation systems and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
• Terminal adaptors requiring high-speed RS-232 connectivity

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Renesas or Intersil distributors due to potential counterfeit risks. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free anneal availability if required by assembly processes. Check moisture sensitivity level handling requirements prior to PCB mounting. Validate that the specific suffix matches the desired package variant and thermal rating for the target environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems limited to a single +5V supply without access to negative voltage rails. Choose the HIN206EIB over other family members specifically when three receiver channels are required alongside a single driver. Ensure the application benefits from the integrated charge pump to reduce external capacitor count and board space compared to older dual-supply designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN20xE series of RS-232 transmitters and receivers developed by Intersil, now part of Renesas Electronics. The series was engineered to replace traditional dual-supply interfaces by integrating charge pumps directly onto the silicon die. This design philosophy allows for simplified power management in portable and embedded systems where generating negative voltages was previously cumbersome.

Replacement Considerations

Consider the HIN207EIB for configurations requiring two drivers and two receivers. Evaluate the MAX3232 or SP3232 families as alternative single-supply RS-232 solutions if pin compatibility differs. Verify that any substitute maintains the same ±15kV ESD protection rating and 230 kb/s data speed requirements.
