SP213EHCA-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SP213EHCA-L is a 4/5 transceiver full RS232 interface IC manufactured by MaxLinear, Inc., housed in a 28-SSOP surface mount package. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The part operates within a 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage range and supports data rates up to 480 Kbps with a 500 mV receiver hysteresis specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status with the exception of the SP213EHCA-L, which is obsolete. Selection among active alternatives should prioritize parts with RoHS3 compliance and superior moisture sensitivity ratings where application requirements permit.

For applications requiring the original operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C with 500 mV receiver hysteresis, the HIN213ECAZ, HIN213ECAZ-T, MAX213CAI+, and MAX213CAI+T options provide direct functional equivalence. These parts are manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation and Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, both established suppliers with active product lines.

For applications requiring extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), the HIN213EIAZ, HIN213EIAZ-T, ADM213EARSZ, and ADM213EARSZ-REEL options support this specification. The ADM213 series from Analog Devices Inc. offers the highest data rate capability at 230 Kbps within the extended temperature range.

Packaging format selection between Tube, Tape & Reel (TR), and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® should align with procurement and assembly workflow requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace SP213EHCA-L with any of the listed substitute parts?

A: Yes, all listed parts maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications: RS232 protocol, 4/5 driver/receiver configuration, full duplex operation, 28-SSOP package, and 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage. However, verify that your application tolerates variations in receiver hysteresis, data rate, and operating temperature range as detailed in the parameter comparison table.

Q: What is the difference between the ADM213ARSZ and ADM213EARSZ variants?

A: Both are manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. and share identical electrical specifications except for data rate. The ADM213ARSZ supports 120 Kbps, while the ADM213EARSZ supports 230 Kbps. Both operate across the extended temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Q: Why do some parts have higher receiver hysteresis (650 mV) compared to the original (500 mV)?

A: Receiver hysteresis is a design parameter that affects noise immunity. The ADM213 series from Analog Devices Inc. specifies 650 mV hysteresis, which provides enhanced noise rejection. This is a functional difference that may benefit applications operating in electrically noisy environments.

Q: What packaging options are available, and how do they differ?

A: Tube packaging is suitable for manual assembly and lower-volume applications. Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® formats are optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly and higher-volume production. Select based on your manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All active substitute parts listed carry RoHS3 compliance certification. The obsolete SP213EHCA-L does not specify RoHS status.

Q: Which substitute part most closely matches the original SP213EHCA-L specifications?

A: The HIN213ECAZ and HIN213ECAZ-T from Renesas Electronics Corporation provide the closest match, maintaining 500 mV receiver hysteresis and 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range. The primary difference is reduced data rate capability (120 Kbps versus 480 Kbps). For applications requiring the original 480 Kbps data rate, no direct equivalent exists among the listed substitutes.
