HIN213EIA-T

Overview

The HIN213EIA-T is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Intersil, designed for systems lacking ±12V power rails. It operates on a single +5V supply and integrates onboard charge pumps to generate the required ±10V levels using only 0.1µF external capacitors. The device features four drivers and five receivers, supporting data rates up to 230 kbit/s. It includes a low-power shutdown mode with two active receivers for wake-up capability. Key electrical parameters include a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, and ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins.

Feature Summary

• Single +5V power supply operation with integrated onboard charge pump voltage converters generating ±10V supplies
• High-speed ISDN compatible performance with improved transmitter slew rate and data rate capabilities
• Low power shutdown mode conserving energy in battery applications while maintaining two active receivers for wake-up
• Robust noise rejection through receiver hysteresis and high input impedance handling up to ±30V

Applications

• Computer systems requiring RS-232 communication ports
• Portable, mainframe, and laptop peripheral connections
• Printers, terminals, and instrumentation interfaces
• High-speed modems and ISDN equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IA' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact pinout and functional specifications required for your design. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status and lead-free annealing details with current datasheets before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing RS-232 interfaces that require a single +5V supply without external negative voltage generation. It is suitable for applications needing multiple drivers and receivers with high ESD protection. Consider the shutdown mode functionality if power conservation is critical. Verify that the SSOP package dimensions fit the PCB layout constraints and thermal requirements of the target application.

Part Context

The HIN213E belongs to the HIN202E/HIN206E/HIN207E/HIN208E/HIN211E/HIN213E family of RS-232 transceivers. This family shares common features such as single-supply operation, onboard charge pumps, and high ESD protection. The HIN213E specifically distinguishes itself with four drivers and five receivers, offering more I/O channels than simpler variants like the HIN202E or HIN206E within the same series.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include HIN211E (4 drivers/5 receivers) and HIN206E (2 drivers/2 receivers). Check pin compatibility and functional equivalence before substitution. Ensure the replacement part meets the same voltage, temperature, and ESD protection specifications.
