HIN213CAZ-T

Overview

The HIN213CAZ-T is a high-speed RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, belonging to the HIN213E family. It operates on a single +5V power supply and includes onboard charge pump voltage converters that generate +10V and -10V supplies from the 5V input. The device features four drivers and five receivers, supporting data rates up to 230 kbps. It provides ±15kV ESD protection on transmitter outputs and receiver inputs. The component is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package with dimensions of 10.2 x 5.3 x 1.75 mm and a pitch of 0.7 mm. It supports manual shutdown mode and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• High-speed RS-232 communication capability suitable for ISDN and modem applications
• Integrated onboard charge pump eliminates need for external dual polarity power supplies
• Robust ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on I/O pins
• Low power shutdown mode with active receiver functionality for system wakeup

Applications

• Portable computer systems requiring high-speed serial communication
• ISDN terminal adaptors and high-speed modems
• Peripheral connections such as printers and terminals
• Instrumentation and UPS systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CAZ' against official Renesas documentation to confirm it denotes the commercial temperature grade variant (-40°C to +85°C) rather than industrial or extended ranges. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact pinout and package type required for your PCB layout. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision to confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free status specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single +5V supply is available but RS-232 voltage levels are required without external negative voltage generation. The HIN213CAZ-T is appropriate for designs needing multiple receive channels (five receivers) alongside standard transmit drivers. Consider the manual shutdown feature if battery conservation is critical, noting that two receivers remain active during shutdown to facilitate wake-up signals.

Part Context

The HIN213CAZ-T is part of the broader HIN213E series of RS-232 transmitters and receivers designed by Intersil, now Renesas Electronics. This family addresses applications where traditional ±12V supplies are unavailable, offering a simplified power architecture. The device meets EIA high-speed RS-232E and V.28 specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard serial communication protocols used in legacy and embedded systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the HIN213EIAZ-T. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 28-pin SSOP footprint and electrical characteristics, particularly the 230 kbps data rate and ±15kV ESD protection levels.
