HIN213ECAZ

Overview

The HIN213ECAZ is a high-speed RS-232 transceiver from the HIN202E/HIN213E family, designed for +5V single-supply operation without requiring ±12V rails. It integrates onboard charge pumps to generate +10V and -10V supplies using only 0.1µF capacitors. The device features two drivers and three receivers, with ESD protection rated at ±15kV on I/O pins. It supports data rates up to 230kbits/s, suitable for ISDN and high-speed modems. A low-power shutdown mode conserves energy while keeping two receivers active for wakeup capability. It operates within commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (-40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges.

Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump voltage converters eliminate the need for external dual polarity power supplies.
• High-speed transmitter circuitry optimized for ISDN and modem applications with improved slew rates.
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection on all RS-232 input and output pins.

Applications

• ISDN Terminal Adaptors
• High-Speed Modems
• Portable Computer Serial Ports

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CAZ' against manufacturer documentation to confirm package type (SSOP), lead-free status, and environmental compliance. Ensure the required operating temperature range matches the specific batch specifications. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics remain consistent with current design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a system requires RS-232 communication powered solely by a +5V rail. The HIN213ECAZ is appropriate for designs needing multiple receiver inputs and active-low shutdown functionality. Verify that the 230kbits/s data rate meets application needs and that the SSOP package dimensions fit the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN202E through HIN232E family of RS-232 interface circuits manufactured by Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil). These devices are engineered to replace older RS-232 transceivers that typically required complex dual-voltage power supplies. The family shares common architecture but varies in driver/receiver counts and special features like shutdown modes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same family include HIN213E and HIN213EC. For pin-compatible alternatives, verify HIN202E or HIN206E if fewer drivers or receivers are acceptable. Always confirm that the replacement maintains the required ESD protection levels and charge pump capacitor specifications.
