HIN213ECA

Overview

The HIN213ECA is a high-speed RS-232 transmitter and receiver interface circuit designed for single +5V power supply operation. It meets EIA RS-232E and V.28 specifications, supporting data rates up to 230 kbits/s. The device integrates onboard charge pump voltage converters that generate +10V and -10V supplies from the 5V input, eliminating the need for external ±12V rails. It features ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins per IEC61000 standards. Key electrical parameters include a typical operating current of 5mA and a shutdown current of 1µA. The package is SSOP with 28 leads, dimensions of 10.2 x 5.3 x 1.75 mm, and an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Onboard voltage doubler and inverter generates required ±10V supplies from a single +5V source using only 0.1µF or greater external capacitors.
• Low power shutdown mode reduces consumption to 1µA, with two receivers remaining active to facilitate system wakeup.
• Transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected against ±15kV electrostatic discharge events.
• Drivers provide true TTL/CMOS input compatibility with slew rate limiting and 300Ω power-off source impedance.

Applications

• High-speed ISDN communication ports
• Portable computers and laptop peripherals
• Printers and terminals requiring RS-232 connectivity

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CA' indicates the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C) versus the industrial grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the package type matches the SSOP form factor with 28 leads. Ensure the order includes RoHS compliance documentation as the component is lead-free. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet for any updates to the selection table or pinout configurations before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems limited to a single +5V power rail without access to negative voltages. The HIN213ECA is appropriate for applications requiring high ESD immunity and low standby power. Verify that the required data rate does not exceed 230 kbits/s. Consider the 28-pin SSOP package constraints for PCB layout. Ensure the environment stays within the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range.

Part Context

The HIN213ECA belongs to the HIN2xxxE family of RS-232 transmitters and receivers from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil). This family shares common architecture but varies in the number of drivers and receivers. The HIN213E variant specifically provides multiple drivers and receivers with shutdown capabilities. It is part of a broader portfolio including models like HIN202E, HIN206E, and HIN232E, all optimized for high-speed serial communications.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with equivalent devices such as the MAX213E or SP232E series by checking pinout, electrical specifications, and package dimensions against the original design requirements.
