HIN211EIB RS232 Transceiver Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HIN211EIB is a full-duplex RS232 transceiver manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, configured with 4 drivers and 5 receivers in a 28-SOIC surface mount package. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The HIN211EIB operates across a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V with a maximum data rate of 230 kbps and receiver hysteresis of 500 mV, making it suitable for legacy RS232 communication applications requiring full-duplex operation.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HIN211EIB is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Protocol: RS232 full-duplex transceiver
Driver/Receiver Configuration: 4 drivers and 5 receivers
Package: 28-SOIC surface mount form factor
Supply Voltage Range: 4.5V ~ 5.5V
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C minimum
Data Rate: 230 kbps or higher
Receiver Hysteresis: 500 mV or higher

Substitute parts are categorized into two groups:

Parametric Equivalents maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with identical or superior specifications. These parts are direct functional replacements.

Similar Parts share the same protocol, package, and core functionality but may have variations in data rate, receiver hysteresis, or operating temperature range. These parts require design verification for specific application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalent Selection:

HIN211EIBZ is the primary parametric equivalent to HIN211EIB. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 230 kbps data rate, 500 mV receiver hysteresis, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. HIN211EIBZ is in active product status with ROHS3 compliance, addressing the obsolescence of the original part. The difference between HIN211EIB and HIN211EIBZ is packaging format (tube versus unspecified original packaging).

HIN213EIBZ is a parametric equivalent from Renesas with identical electrical specifications. This part is in active status with ROHS3 compliance and is available in tray packaging.

Similar Part Selection for Extended Temperature Range:

ADM211ARZ, ADM211ARZ-REEL, ADM211EARZ, and ADM211EARZ-REEL from Analog Devices Inc. maintain the full -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range and ROHS3 compliance. These parts operate at 120 kbps data rate with 650 mV receiver hysteresis, both within acceptable parameters for RS232 applications. The higher receiver hysteresis provides improved noise immunity.

Similar Part Selection for Commercial Temperature Range:

MAX211CDW, MAX211CDWR, MAX211CWI+, and MAX211CWI+T operate within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, which is narrower than the original HIN211EIB specification. These parts are suitable only for applications that do not require extended low-temperature operation below 0°C. All are ROHS3 compliant and operate at 120 kbps with 500 mV receiver hysteresis.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HIN211EIBZ directly replace HIN211EIB without design changes?

A: Yes. HIN211EIBZ is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, supply voltage range, operating temperature range, and package form factor. The only difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance level.

Q: What is the difference between HIN211EIBZ and HIN213EIBZ?

A: Both are parametric equivalents to HIN211EIB with identical electrical specifications. The difference is the base product number (HIN211 versus HIN213) and packaging format (tube versus tray). Either part is suitable for direct substitution.

Q: Can ADM211 series parts replace HIN211EIB?

A: ADM211 series parts are similar substitutes with the same driver/receiver configuration, package, and operating temperature range. However, they operate at 120 kbps maximum data rate compared to 230 kbps for HIN211EIB, and have 650 mV receiver hysteresis versus 500 mV. These parts are suitable for applications that do not require the higher data rate of the original part.

Q: Can MAX211 series parts replace HIN211EIB?

A: MAX211 series parts are similar substitutes with the same package and driver/receiver configuration. However, they operate at a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, which is narrower than the -40°C to 85°C range of HIN211EIB. These parts are suitable only for applications operating within the 0°C to 70°C temperature window. Data rate is limited to 120 kbps.

Q: What does "Last Time Buy" status mean for MAX211CDW?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that the manufacturer has announced end-of-life for this part. Existing inventory may be available, but no future production is planned. For new designs, select parts with Active status such as MAX211CDWR or MAX211CWI+T.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. The original HIN211EIB is RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, select from the substitute parts provided.

Q: What is the significance of packaging format (Tube, Tray, Tape & Reel)?

A: Packaging format affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes. Tube packaging is suitable for manual handling and small-quantity applications. Tray packaging is used for moderate quantities. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for high-volume automated assembly. All formats contain the same electronic component; selection depends on procurement and manufacturing requirements.
