HIN213CAZ

Overview

The HIN213CAZ is a single +5V powered RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Intersil. It integrates onboard charge pump voltage converters to generate +10V and -10V supplies from the single supply, eliminating the need for external ±12V rails. The device features four drivers and two receivers, meeting EIA RS-232E and V.28 specifications with a data rate of up to 120 kbit/s. It includes low power shutdown mode with two active receivers for wake-up capability, ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins, and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C in a 28-pin SSOP package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates onboard charge pump voltage converters to generate required positive and negative supplies from a single +5V source
• Provides low power shutdown functionality with two active receivers enabled to facilitate system wake-up
• Includes robust electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV on all RS-232 input and output pins

Applications

• Computer systems requiring RS-232 communication ports
• Portable, mainframe, and laptop peripheral connections
• Printers and terminals utilizing serial interfaces
• Instrumentation equipment needing reliable serial data transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CAZ' against official Renesas or Intersil documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and environmental rating. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if specified for the target assembly. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate feature availability, particularly regarding the active receiver count during shutdown mode.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems limited to a single +5V power supply without access to dual polarity rails. The HIN213CAZ is suitable for applications requiring moderate data rates up to 120 kbit/s. Consider the 28-pin SSOP package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the thermal dissipation capabilities align with the expected operating environment within the commercial temperature range.

Part Context

The HIN213CAZ belongs to the HIN2xxE family of high-speed RS-232 transmitters and receivers. This series was designed to replace traditional dual-supply solutions by integrating charge pumps directly onto the silicon die. The family shares common interface characteristics but varies in driver and receiver counts to suit different application complexities.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the HIN211E and HIN213E variants within the same Intersil family, provided the pinout matches the SSOP-28 configuration. Verify that alternative components support the same 120 kbit/s data rate and ±15kV ESD protection levels.
