HIN202ACB

Overview

The HIN202ACB is an RS-232 interface integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics, originally part of the Intersil product line. It functions as a dual driver and dual receiver transceiver designed for single-supply operation at 5V. The device supports data rates up to 120 kb/s and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. It is housed in a 16-pin SOIC-Wide package and requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.5V and a maximum of 5.5V. The component draws approximately 15 mA of operating current and does not include built-in ESD protection.

Feature Summary

• Provides full RS-232 signal compliance for reliable serial communication
• Operates from a single 5V power supply with internal charge pump
• Offers dual drivers and dual receivers in a compact surface-mount package

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring serial data transmission
• Modem interfacing and communication equipment
• Point-of-sale (POS) terminals and barcode scanners

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as the HIN202 series was acquired by Renesas from Intersil. Confirm the specific suffix indicates the correct temperature grade and packaging format. Check RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity levels before integration into production assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel RS-232 transceiver is required for 5V logic systems. Ensure the application environment stays within the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range. Consider variants with extended temperature ranges if operating conditions exceed these limits.

Part Context

The HIN202ACB belongs to the HIN202 family of RS-232 transceivers. This series is characterized by low power consumption and compatibility with standard RS-232 protocols. The ACB suffix typically denotes the commercial temperature range and specific packaging configuration within the broader product lineup.
