HIN208CB-T

Overview

The HIN208CB-T is a dual driver and dual receiver RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Intersil. It operates from a single 5V supply and includes internal charge pumps to generate the required positive and negative voltages for RS-232 communication. The device features low supply current, ESD protection on all pins, and is available in a compact CB package.

Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump eliminates external capacitors
• Single 5V power supply operation
• ESD protection on all signal lines

Applications

• RS-232 serial communication interfaces
• Modem connections
• Portable instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CB-T' against official Intersil or Renesas documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel configuration. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and interface requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a simple, single-supply RS-232 solution. Consider pin count and package size constraints. Verify that the integrated ESD protection meets the environmental requirements of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN208 family of RS-232 transceivers. It is designed for low-power, single-supply applications. Intersil was acquired by Renesas Electronics, so technical support and datasheets may be hosted under the Renesas brand.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as MAX208 or MAX209 from Maxim Integrated (Analog Devices). Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
