HIN200CB

Overview

The HIN200CB is a high-speed RS-232 transmitter/receiver interface circuit manufactured by Harris Corporation. It meets all EIA RS-232E and V.28 specifications, designed for systems lacking ±12V supplies. The device operates on a single +5V power supply and utilizes onboard charge pump voltage converters to generate the necessary positive and negative voltages from the 5V input. It features low power consumption and TTL/CMOS compatible inputs.

Feature Summary

• Onboard charge pump voltage converters generate required supplies from a single +5V source
• TTL/CMOS compatible inputs with three-state receiver outputs
• Low power shutdown function for extended battery life in portable applications

Applications

• Portable computers and laptops
• Mainframe computer communication ports
• Peripheral devices such as printers and terminals

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Harris Corporation's semiconductor assets were acquired by Intersil and subsequently Renesas. Ensure the specific suffix 'CB' matches the required package type and temperature rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for available datasheets from current authorized distributors or legacy archives.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single +5V supply is available but standard RS-232 levels are required without external voltage generators. It is suitable for applications prioritizing low power consumption and board space efficiency. Compare against the HIN202IBN if different driver/receiver counts are needed.

Part Context

The HIN200CB belongs to the HIN200-HIN213 family of RS-232 transmitters and receivers. This family was widely used before the prevalence of integrated USB-to-serial converters. The 'HIN' prefix typically denotes Harris Integrated Network components.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalents from Intersil or Renesas, which inherited the Harris product line. Verify pin compatibility with similar RS-232 transceivers like the MAX232 series, noting that pinouts may differ.
