HIN213ECA-T

Overview

The HIN213ECA-T is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver from the Intersil E-family, designed for systems lacking ±12V rails. It operates on a single +5V supply and integrates onboard charge pumps to generate ±10V levels using only 0.1µF external capacitors. The device features five receivers and three drivers, meeting EIA high-speed RS-232E and V.28 specifications. Key electrical parameters include a data rate of 230kbits/s, typical supply current of 5mA, and shutdown current of 1µA. It provides ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins and supports TTL/CMOS input compatibility with 0.5V receiver hysteresis for noise rejection.

Feature Summary

• Integrates onboard voltage doubler and inverter to eliminate need for external dual supplies
• Provides ±15kV electrostatic discharge protection on RS-232 I/O pins per IEC61000 standard
• Features low power shutdown mode with two active receivers for system wakeup capability
• Includes 0.5V hysteresis on receivers to enhance noise immunity in noisy environments

Applications

• High-speed RS-232 communications ports in computer systems
• Portable equipment including laptops and mainframes
• Peripheral devices such as printers and terminals
• Instrumentation and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems
• Modems and ISDN terminal adaptors

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free anneal availability through official Renesas or authorized distributor documentation. Ensure the specific variant matches the required pinout and electrical characteristics for the target application design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple receiver channels alongside driver outputs. The HIN213E variant is distinct within the family due to its five-receiver configuration. Verify that the single +5V supply constraint aligns with the system power architecture. Consider the 230kbits/s data rate limit for high-speed modem or ISDN interface requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN202E, HIN206E, HIN207E, HIN208E, HIN211E, HIN213E, and HIN232E family of RS-232 transmitters/receivers. These devices share common architecture features such as onboard charge pumps and ESD protection but differ in the number of drivers and receivers provided. The family addresses applications where traditional ±12V supplies are unavailable.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the verified source material. Designers should consult official Renesas documentation for cross-reference information or equivalent components within the same product family.
