HIN202CB

Overview

The HIN202CB is an RS-232 transceiver integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil). It operates on a single +5V power supply, utilizing onboard charge pumps to generate the required positive and negative voltages for RS-232 signaling. The device features two drivers and two receivers, supporting data rates up to 120 kb/s. It is housed in a 16-pin SOIC-Wide package and functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The part requires external 0.1µF capacitors for the charge pump operation.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual drivers and dual receivers for full-duplex communication
• Generates internal +10V and -10V supplies from a single +5V source
• Provides true TTL/CMOS input compatibility with slew-rate-limited outputs

Applications

• RS-232 serial communication interfaces
• Modem connections
• Industrial control systems requiring standard RS-232 signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if mandated by the project specifications. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, single-supply RS-232 solution is needed without ESD protection on the I/O pins. Compare against the HIN202E series if higher data rates or ±15kV ESD protection are required. Verify that the 120 kb/s speed meets the application's timing constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIN202 family of RS-232 transceivers. It shares the core architecture with variants like the HIN202ECBNZ-T but differs in packaging, speed rating, and protection features. The CB suffix typically denotes a specific package and temperature grade configuration within the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

The HIN202ECBNZ-T offers similar functionality but supports higher speeds and includes ESD protection. The MAX202CPE is a common alternative from Maxim Integrated with comparable pinouts and performance.
