HIN211EIA-T

Overview

The HIN211EIA-T is a quad line transceiver manufactured by Intersil, designed for RS-232 communication. It operates on a single +5V power supply and includes onboard charge pumps to generate the required ±10V levels. The device features four drivers and five receivers, supporting full-duplex data transmission at rates up to 230 kb/s. It provides ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins and meets EIA high-speed RS-232E and V.28 specifications. The component is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package.

Feature Summary

• Single +5V power supply operation with integrated onboard voltage converters
• High-speed data rate capability of 230 kbits/s suitable for ISDN applications
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV on RS-232 I/O pins
• Low power shutdown mode functionality for energy conservation

Applications

• ISDN terminal adapters
• High-speed modem interfaces
• Portable battery-powered equipment requiring low standby current
• Industrial control systems with RS-232 connectivity

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing sources may vary. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for the Intersil or Renesas brand origin. Cross-reference the part number against official distributor catalogs to confirm availability and authenticity before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits that require multiple RS-232 channels without external ±12V supplies. The integrated charge pump reduces external capacitor count compared to older generations. Consider the 230 kbps speed limit if higher baud rates are necessary. Verify thermal requirements for the SSOP package in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This device belongs to the HIN21xE family of RS-232 transceivers from Intersil. It shares architectural similarities with the HIN206E and HIN213E but offers a distinct combination of four drivers and five receivers. The family is characterized by its ability to operate solely from a 5V source while maintaining compatibility with standard RS-232 voltage levels.

Replacement Considerations

The ADM211E from Analog Devices serves as a functional equivalent within the same specification class. Both devices offer quad drivers and quintuple receivers with similar electrical characteristics and pinout configurations.
