HIN211CB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HIN211CB is a 4/5 transceiver full RS232 interface IC manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation in 28-SOIC surface mount packaging. This component operates at 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage with a data rate of 120 Kbps and receiver hysteresis of 500 mV across the 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range. The HIN211CB is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HIN211CB is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Protocol: RS232
Number of Drivers/Receivers: 4/5
Duplex: Full
Package / Case: 28-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width)
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Data Rate: 120 Kbps
Voltage - Supply: 4.5V ~ 5.5V (or compatible range)
Receiver Hysteresis: 500 mV (or compatible value)

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on parameter alignment:

Direct Substitutes maintain identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range as the HIN211CB.

Upgrade Substitutes provide enhanced operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus 0°C to 70°C) while maintaining all other electrical parameters.

Similar Substitutes maintain core RS232 transceiver functionality with 4/5 configuration and 28-SOIC packaging but may have variations in receiver hysteresis (650 mV) or supply voltage range (4.75V ~ 5.25V).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement with Active Product Status:

MAX211CWI+T and MAX211ECWI+T provide direct electrical equivalence to HIN211CB with identical supply voltage (4.5V ~ 5.5V), operating temperature (0°C ~ 70°C), and receiver hysteresis (500 mV). Both are ROHS3 compliant and available in active production status. MAX211CWI+T is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, while MAX211ECWI+T is also available in Tape & Reel format.

For Extended Temperature Range Applications:

MAX211EWI+ extends the operating temperature range to -40°C ~ 85°C while maintaining all other electrical parameters identical to HIN211CB. This upgrade substitute is ROHS3 compliant and in active production status, supplied in Tube packaging.

For Similar Functionality with Parameter Variations:

ADM211ARZ, ADM211ARZ-REEL, ADM211EARZ, and ADM211EARZ-REEL maintain RS232 4/5 transceiver configuration with extended temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) but feature 650 mV receiver hysteresis instead of 500 mV. These parts are ROHS3 compliant and in active production. ADM211EARZ variants are available in both Tube and Tape & Reel packaging.

For Narrower Supply Voltage Range:

ADM241LJRZ and ADM241LJRZ-REEL operate within a narrower supply voltage range (4.75V ~ 5.25V) compared to HIN211CB (4.5V ~ 5.5V). These parts maintain 0°C ~ 70°C operating temperature and feature 650 mV receiver hysteresis. Both are ROHS3 compliant and in active production, available in Tube and Tape & Reel packaging respectively.

For Texas Instruments Source:

MAX211CDWR from Texas Instruments provides direct electrical equivalence with 4.5V ~ 5.5V supply voltage, 0°C ~ 70°C operating temperature, and 500 mV receiver hysteresis. This part is ROHS3 compliant, in active production status, and supplied in Tape & Reel packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX211CWI+T directly replace HIN211CB in existing designs?

A: Yes. MAX211CWI+T maintains identical electrical specifications: 4.5V ~ 5.5V supply voltage, 0°C ~ 70°C operating temperature, 500 mV receiver hysteresis, and 28-SOIC packaging. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Tube) and ROHS3 compliance status. Verify your procurement and assembly processes accommodate Tape & Reel format.

Q: What is the difference between ADM211EARZ and ADM211ARZ?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent RS232 4/5 transceivers in 28-SOIC packaging with -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature and 650 mV receiver hysteresis. The primary distinction is packaging: ADM211ARZ is supplied in Tube format, while ADM211EARZ is also available in Tube format. Verify specific part number suffixes with your supplier for exact packaging and lead configuration details.

Q: Why does ADM241LJRZ have a narrower supply voltage range than HIN211CB?

A: ADM241LJRZ operates within 4.75V ~ 5.25V supply voltage range compared to HIN211CB's 4.5V ~ 5.5V range. This narrower specification reflects the ADM241 device design. Confirm your system power supply stability falls within the 4.75V ~ 5.25V window before selecting this substitute.

Q: Is receiver hysteresis variation between 500 mV and 650 mV significant for RS232 applications?

A: Receiver hysteresis affects noise immunity and switching threshold characteristics. The 500 mV specification of HIN211CB and MAX211 variants provides tighter threshold control compared to the 650 mV specification of ADM211 and ADM241 variants. For noise-sensitive applications, maintain 500 mV hysteresis specification. For general RS232 communication, both values are within standard RS232 operating margins.

Q: Can I use MAX211EWI+ in applications requiring 0°C ~ 70°C operation only?

A: Yes. MAX211EWI+ supports -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature, which encompasses the 0°C ~ 70°C range. The extended temperature capability does not restrict operation within narrower temperature bands. This part is suitable for applications with standard industrial temperature requirements.

Q: What packaging considerations apply when switching from Tube to Tape & Reel format?

A: Tape & Reel packaging (TR) is optimized for automated assembly processes, while Tube packaging is suitable for manual handling and lower-volume applications. Verify your assembly equipment and procurement workflows support the selected packaging format. Both formats contain identical components; the difference is presentation and handling method.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original HIN211CB is RoHS non-compliant. If your application or regulatory requirements mandate RoHS compliance, any of the listed substitutes satisfy this requirement.
