HIN213CA-T

Overview

The HIN213CA-T is an RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Harris Corporation, designed for single +5V power supply operation. It integrates onboard charge pump voltage converters to generate the required +10V and -10V supplies from the 5V input. The device meets EIA RS-232E and V.28 specifications with a data rate of 120kbit/s. It features two active receivers in shutdown mode for wakeup capability, low power consumption of 5mA typical, and TTL/CMOS compatible inputs. The package is SOIC-8.

Feature Summary

• Integrates onboard charge pump voltage converters to generate positive and negative supplies from a single +5V source
• Features two active receivers in shutdown mode to enable easy system wakeup capabilities
• Provides true TTL/CMOS input compatibility with slew rate-limited outputs and current limiting

Applications

• Portable computers and laptops requiring high-speed RS-232 communications ports
• Printers and terminals connected via serial interfaces
• Instrumentation systems and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
• ISDN terminal adaptors and high-speed modems

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin as Harris Corporation or its successors like Intersil/Renesas. Confirm the suffix CA-T indicates specific temperature range and tape-and-reel packaging. Ensure RoHS compliance status matches current regulatory requirements for the specific production batch.

Selection Notes

Select this component when ±12V supplies are unavailable and a single +5V rail must be used. The dual active receiver feature in shutdown mode makes it suitable for battery-powered applications requiring wake-on-serial functionality. Verify that the 120kbit/s data rate meets the system's communication speed requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN200-HIN213 family of RS-232 interface circuits. The HIN213 variant specifically includes two receivers active during shutdown, distinguishing it from other family members like the HIN202 which has different receiver configurations. It serves as a bridge between TTL/CMOS logic levels and RS-232 voltage swings.

Replacement Considerations

Consider the HIN213E as a direct functional replacement within the same family, offering similar specifications with potential improvements in ESD protection ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution.
