HIN213ACA

Overview

The HIN213ACA is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Harris Corporation, designed for EIA-232-E and V.28 compliance. It integrates onboard charge pumps to generate ±10V from a single +5V supply using only 0.1µF external capacitors. The device features two drivers and five receivers in a 28-pin SSOP package. Key electrical parameters include a data rate of 230 kbps, ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins, and a typical supply current of 5mA. It supports low-power shutdown modes with manual control.

Feature Summary

• High-speed ISDN compatibility with improved transmitter slew rates
• Robust ±15kV electrostatic discharge protection on RS-232 I/O pins
• Low power shutdown functionality with active receiver wake-up capability

Applications

• ISDN terminal adapters
• High-speed modem interfaces
• Portable computing equipment requiring RS-232 connectivity

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ACA' against official Harris or Intersil documentation to confirm pinout and temperature range. Ensure the component meets RoHS requirements if applicable, as older Harris parts may differ from modern equivalents. Cross-reference datasheets for the HIN213E family to confirm functional equivalence.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single +5V supply is available but ±12V rails are absent. The HIN213ACA is suitable for applications requiring multiple receiver inputs (five total) and high noise immunity due to integrated hysteresis. Verify that the 230 kbps data rate meets system timing requirements.

Part Context

The HIN213ACA belongs to the HIN200-HIN213 family of RS-232 interface circuits. This series was developed to eliminate the need for dual polarity power supplies in standard serial communication systems. Harris Corporation originally designed these devices to simplify PCB layout and reduce system cost by integrating voltage conversion circuitry.

Replacement Considerations

Intersil and Renesas produce compatible successors such as the HIN213EIAZ. These modern variants maintain the same functional pinout and specifications while offering lead-free packaging and updated manufacturing processes. Verify that the replacement part number matches the required package style and operating temperature range.
