HA4201CP

Specialized ICS Overview

The HA4201CP is a specialized integrated circuit manufactured by Harris Corporation, classified as a crosspoint switch. It is housed in an 8-DIP package with a width of 0.300 inches (7.62mm), designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. The component is supplied in bulk packaging and belongs to the Specialized ICs category. As a discrete crosspoint switching device, it facilitates signal routing within electronic systems without specified internal power regulation or complex digital interface protocols in its basic configuration.

Specialized ICS Feature Summary

• Integrated crosspoint switch topology for signal routing
• 8-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP) form factor
• Through-hole mounting capability for PCB integration
• Harris Corporation manufacturing origin

Specialized ICS Applications

• Video signal routing systems
• Test and measurement equipment signal paths
• Audio/visual distribution matrices

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific electrical characteristics and pinout configuration against the official Harris Corporation datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 8-DIP through-hole package aligns with the target PCB footprint design. Ensure compatibility with the operating voltage and signal levels required by the application circuit, as generic descriptions do not specify these critical parameters.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select this component when a simple, reliable crosspoint switching function is required in a through-hole assembly environment. Compare the 8-DIP package dimensions against available board space. Consider alternative surface-mount packages if miniaturization is necessary, or verify if additional features like tally outputs or higher bandwidths are needed for specific video applications.

Specialized ICS Part Context

This part falls under the Harris Corporation portfolio of specialized interface and video processing ICs. It serves as a fundamental building block for signal management in legacy or robust industrial designs where through-hole technology is preferred for mechanical stability. It complements more complex digital controllers by providing direct analog or low-frequency digital switching capabilities.

Specialized ICS Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other 8-pin crosspoint switches from manufacturers such as Intersil or Renesas, which often share similar pinouts and functionalities. Verify electrical specifications and pin compatibility carefully, as physical fit does not guarantee functional equivalence.
